Speech and Language Disorders in ADHD
- Wael Aldakroury
Abstract
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) refers to the presence of pronounced difficulties in the areas of inattention, distractibility and hyperactivity that lead to significant impairment in academic and social functioning [1]. The prevalence estimate of ADHD is as wide as 3%-10% for school age children [2] and it is identified as one of the most commonly diagnosed clinical conditions affecting the student population [3]. Two-thirds of children with ADHD have an additional coexisting disorder [4] and more than one-third have at least three comorbid conditions [5]. Estimates of the overlap between speech and language disorders and ADHD vary from as low as 8% to as high as 90%, depending on the source and type of sample [2]. I will discuss the possible and levels of association between ADHD and speech and language disorders. Also, I will describe the link between the ADHD diagnosis and speech and language disorders in children, supported by evidence from several studies.
