It is very common to have a learning disability along with ADHD.
In fact, research shows that thirty percent of people with ADHD also
have a learning disability. Beyond learning disabilities, over
fifty percent of individuals with ADHD have some other type of
brain-based disorder. This is why depression, anxiety, OCD,
bipolar disorder and other similar disorders are higher than normal in
ADD clients. One type of learning disability that almost every person with ADD will
have is an integrative processing deficit. This is the ability to
take in information, process it quickly and make use of it. Most people
with ADD are either slower than others in doing this or have trouble
doing it at all. It is not that they do not understand the information,
but conflicting signals will make it difficult to fully process. Another common learning disability in people with ADHD is working
memory problems. Working memory is another term for short term
memory, or information that is told to you in the moment. This
can affect information you hear, read, etc. Working memory is important
for doing well academically and in your work. Another learning disability that is common in ADHD clients is problems
with visual/spatial processing. This is not too surprising since most
people with ADHD have problems with organizing space.
Academically, this will affect subjects such as geometry and physics. Other common learning disabilities are dyslexia, reading comprehension,
arithmetic reasoning, oral expression, written expression, foreign
language acquisition, syntactic processing and most likely other
learning disabilities. This is why getting a thorough examination
at the start is so important. An individual may be dealing with ADHD,
but he or she may be dealing with a learning disability as well. And
though you cannot directly do anything about a learning disability, it
is good to know you have one and how it affects your ability to
function. Also, you may receive academic accommodations as well as job
accommodations if diagnosed with an LD. In order to find out if you have a learning disability, it will be
necessary to go through a lengthy set of tests that compare and
contrast your IQ, personality and interests. If you do
significantly better on one aspect of a test than another, this could
signify a learning disability. For example, if you do really well on
the verbal part of your IQ test and not so well on the visual/spatial
section of the IQ test, you may have a learning disability. It is not known exactly why ADD often comes with some type of learning
disability. Most likely, the atypical wiring of an ADD'er has something
to do with it. New research is being done every day on the brain
and how it works, and science definitely does not have all the answers
to these questions yet. Keith Londrie II is a well known author. For more information on ADHD, please visit ADHD for a wealth of information. You may also want to visit keith's own web site at http://keithlondrie.com/ Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Keith_Londrie | |
