ADHD and communication disorders
View through CrossRef
ADHD and communication disorders are both common neurodevelopmental disorders that often co-occur. Comorbidity (i.e. co-occurrence or two or more disorders in a person) is potentially important for the theory, the underlying aetiology, treatment, and prevention of the disorders. This chapter first reviews the extent of co-occurrence between ADHD and various subtypes of communication disorders (language disorders, speech sound disorders, social pragmatic communication disorders), along with their clinical manifestation. Next, the extant evidence to support or refute various models of comorbidity (i.e. artifactual versus non-artifactual) is reviewed and critiqued. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the implications of co-occurring communication disorders and ADHD for the clinical assessment and management of ADHD.
