Featured Article: Learning Disabilities and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
The most common disorder that co-exists with learning disabilities is attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Many studies over the years have indicated a very strong co-morbidity of the two conditions but the exact percentage of overlap varies widely in these studies because of methodological inconsistencies. Studies of the families of children with either learning disabilities or ADHD indicate strong patterns of inheritance for both conditions, but also show that they are independent disorders.
