Explain adhd and add as an associated conditions of learning disability
Answers
ADHD is not a learning disability; however, it does make learning difficult. For example, it is hard to learn when you struggle to focus on what your teacher is saying or when you can’t seem to be able to sit down and pay attention to a book.
You can have both. Learning disabilities (LD) and ADHD often co-exist. In his book, Taking Charge of ADHD: The Complete Authoritative Guide for Parents, Russell Barkley says children with ADHD are more likely to have a learning disability than children who do not have ADHD.
Connection Between Executive Functions, ADHD, and LD
Learning involves using the executive functions of the brain particularly the ability to focus, pay attention, engage with a task and use working memory. We know that ADHD affects the executive functions of the brain. In fact, Dr. Russell Barkley says an accurate name for ADHD could be ‘Developmental Disorder of Executive Functioning.’
Many people with ADHD can struggle with learning and school work because of the executive function problems related to their ADHD, yet they do not have enough of an impairment to be diagnosed with an LD.
When a person has co-existing conditions of ADHD and LD it means they have the broad impairment of executive functions combined with the impairment of the particular skills needed for reading writing and math.
Learning Disabilities
Learning disabilities are neurological and are not a reflection of you or your child’s intelligence or how hard you are trying. A popular way to describe LDs is that your brain is wired differently and you receive and process information in a different way. Learning disabilities can make reading, writing, spelling, and math difficult. They also can affect your ability to organize and recall information, to listen and speak and can impact your short term and long term memory and timing.
Learning disabilities are not problems with learning as a result of vision or hearing problems or learning in a second language, etc. People with learning disabilities usually have average or above average intelligence and yet there a discrepancy between their achievements and their potential. However, with the right support and interventions, they are able to close that gap and demonstrate their skills.
The term learning disabilities is a collective term for a range of specific learning challenges.
Here are some examples of LD:
Dyslexia. Reading disorder
Dyscalculia. Math disorder
Dysgraphia. Writing disorder
Dyspraxia. Problems with motor skills
Dysphasia/Aphasia. Problems with language
Auditory Processing Disorder.
Visual Processing Disorder

Acute cholecystitis is the sudden inflammation of the gallbladder that causes marked abdominal pain, often with nausea, vomiting, and fever.
