Åsberg Johnels, Jakob; Kopp, Svenny; Gillberg, Christopher – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2014
Writing difficulties are common among children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), but the nature of these difficulties has not been well studied.

Catts, Hugh W. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 1986
Speech production/articulation was examined in 20 reading disordered children and 20 control subjects (mean age for all subjects of 14 years). The reading disordered subjects made significantly more speech production errors than normal subjects on all tasks, suggesting underlying deficits in phonological processing. (Author/DB)

Fifty-two children identified at ages 4 and 6 as having an expressive phonology disorder were followed to the third and fourth grades. Children with a phonology disorder along with other language problems performed more poorly than the others on measures of phoneme awareness, language, reading decoding, reading comprehension, and spelling.…

Pisecco, Stewart; Baker, David B.; Silva, Phil A.; Brooke, Mark – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2001
This study examined early childhood characteristics of 82 11-year- old boys with either reading disabilities (RD) only, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) only, or both conditions. At ages 3 and 5 the RD only boys had performed poorly on measures of receptive and expressive language, whereas the RD/ADHD groups performed poorly on…
