Comorbidity of Reading Disability and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder: Differences by Gender and Subtype.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Willcutt, Erik G.; Pennington, Bruce F. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2000
A study involving 494 twins with a reading disability (RD) and 373 typical twins found that individuals with RD were more likely to meet criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and that the association between RD and ADHD was stronger for symptoms of inattention than for hyperactivity symptoms. (Contains extensive references.)…

Clarke, Adam R.; Barry, Robert J.; McCarthy, Rory; Selikowitz, Mark – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2002
A study investigated electroencephalographic (EEG) differences between children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder with reading disabilities (ADHD + RD) (n=20) or without (n=20), and 20 controls. Results indicate differences found in the ADHD + RD group represent an electrophysiological component associated with the reading disability…

Gomez, Rapson; Condon, Margaret – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1999
A study examined central auditory processing ability of 15 children with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), 15 children with ADHD and learning disabilities (LD), and 15 controls. Results indicated lower central-auditory-processing ability and significant correlations between reading and ADHD and reading and…
