Influence of ADHD and Executive Functions on Developmental Dyslexia
PROJECT SUMMARY Dyslexia and ADHD are prevalent neurodevelopmental disorders with a high rate of co-occurrence. Executive function (EF) challenges are common in both disorders, but research has yet to examine whether reading is impacted differentially by EF deficits or ADHD status. Dyslexia research is further limited by few longitudinal neuroimaging efforts examining reading growth and predictors of change in reading over time. Examining EF in dyslexia with ADHD and dyslexia without ADHD is an under-studied topic, despite the potential for clarifying etiological factors underlying reading difficulty and understanding the impact on academic outcomes that rely on reading. Scientifically,…
