149 | The Link Between Dyslexia and ADHD: What Every Parent Should Know
One of the things that I learned early on our dyslexia journey is that dyslexia often co-occurs with other difficulties. In other words, most of the time, dyslexia is not the only struggle for dyslexics. I call these co-occurrences, dyslexic sisters. Sisters may include speech, anxiety disorders, developmental language disorders, and attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The research estimates that 30% of people with dyslexia are also AD/HD. Both children with dyslexia and AD/HD may be underachieving in school, even though they are often bright and motivated. The goal is to meet their potential. Children with these disorders must be carefully evaluated because treatment for one disorder is different from that for the other. Inaccurate diagnosis can lead to inappropriate intervention and a delay in timely, effective intervention. Early intervention is key for both dyslexia and AD/HD.You Got This!Understanding Your Child's Dyslexia Workshop - Spotify / Apple Podcasts / YouTubeSign up for the DML Weekly NewsletterAll things dyslexia and parenting --> www.dyslexiamomlife.comFree Dyslexia Mom Life Podcast Community --> www.facebook.com/groups/dyslexiamomlifeSupport the show
