Summary/Abstract: Relative to their peers, learning difficulties are more oen observable among children with aention deficit hyperactivity disorder – something which may oen cause a discrepancy between the “estimated” intelligence of the child and the results that they achieve at school. ere are reasons to think that ADHD may be co-occurring with other learning disorders, including specific difficulties with reading and writing typical of developmental dyslexia: this would be the case for 15 to 30 percent of people with ADHD. e aim of this article is to describe the relationship between the typical symptoms of ADHD and of developmental dyslexia in the areas of visual and auditory perception, as well as of motor disorders. Due to the frequent comorbidity of both disorders, they can be defined as combined disorders, which require complex diagnostic and therapeutic procedures.
