Learning Disabilities Research Paper

There is a strong relationship between inattentiveness and reading disabilities. The comorbidity of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children with LD varies from about 10% to as high as 60% depending on the sample taken. [ 13, 14] Co-occurrence of major depressive disorder (MDD) and LDs was studied in 100 children age 9–12 years.
