Tuija Aro; Reeta Neittaanmäki; Elisa Korhonen; Heli Riihimäki; Minna Torppa – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
The present study examined whether learning disabilities (LD) in reading and/or math (i.e., reading disability [RD], math disability [MD], and RD+MD) co-occur with other diagnoses. The data comprised a clinical sample (n = 430) with LD identified in childhood and a sample of matched controls (n = 2,140). Their medical diagnoses (according to the…

Vered Vaknin-Nusbaum; Israel Rachevski – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
This study examined whether there are differences between Israeli students with learning disabilities (LD) and their typically developing peers with regard to their 21st-century skills according to their self-report and whether the differences between the two groups are greater in postsecondary education than in high school--an aim that had not…

Zhang, Shuai; Breuer, Esther Odilia; Grünke, Matthias; Joshi, R. Malatesha – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
The current study examined German spelling errors among students with German as their first language (L1) and those with German as their second language (L2) in Grades 3-4 (elementary school students; n = 127) and Grades 5-7 (secondary school students; n = 379). Five hundred and six students participated in the study. We performed two separate…

Arfé, Barbara; Corato, Francesca; Pizzocaro, Eleonora; Merella, Anne – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Handwriting and spelling problems are often associated in dyslexia. However, the nature of their association is still unclear, and most of the existing research in this area is on deep orthographies (mainly English). The extent to which findings are applicable across languages is uncertain. This article examines the effects of script…

Copying a text quickly and accurately is important both in school and in daily life. However, this skill has never been systematically studied, either in children with typical development (TD) or in children with specific learning disabilities (SLD). The aim of this research was to study the features of a copy task and its relationship with other…

Dysgraphia Differs between Children with Developmental Coordination Disorder and/or Reading Disorder
Caroline Jolly; Marianne Jover; Jérémy Danna – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2024
Handwriting deficits, or dysgraphia, are present in several neurodevelopmental disorders. To investigate whether dysgraphia differs according to the associated disorder, we performed a detailed analysis of handwriting in a group of French children with developmental coordination disorders (DCD), reading disorder (RD), or comorbid RD and DCD.…

Aro, Tuija; Eklund, Kenneth; Eloranta, Anna-Kaija; Ahonen, Timo; Rescorla, Leslie – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2022
Our purpose was to study the frequency of behavioral-emotional problems among children identified with a learning disability (LD). The data were obtained for 579 Finnish children (8-15 years) with reading disability (RD-only), math disability (MD-only), or both (RDMD) assessed at a specialized clinic between 1985 and 2017. We analyzed percentages…

Helland, Siri Saugestad; Røysamb, Espen; Brandlistuen, Ragnhild Eek; Melby-Lervåg, Monica; Gustavson, Kristin – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2020
Studies have identified concurrent, longitudinal, and bidirectional associations between language difficulties and internalizing problems. This is commonly explained by social exclusion or withdrawal from peers, but underlying mechanisms are not well understood. This study uses sibling data to investigate if the comorbidity between language…

Aro, Tuija; Eklund, Kenneth; Eloranta, Anna-Kaija; Närhi, Vesa; Korhonen, Elisa; Ahonen, Timo – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
We studied the impact of diverse subtypes of learning disabilities (LD) on adult-age mental health, education, and employment by comparing the LD group (n = 430) with a matched control group without a known history of LD (n = 2,149). The clinical archived data were merged with lifelong register data on sickness allowances/disability pensions…

Kjeldsen, Ann-Christina; Educ, Lic; Saarento-Zaprudin, Silja K.; Niemi, Pekka O. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2019
Training in phonological awareness has brought about well-documented positive effects on learning to read in lower-primary grades. Less is known about long-term gains extending to upper-primary and junior high school. The few longitudinal studies covering at least 5 years suggest that gains in decoding are sustained, whereas effects on reading…
