Learning Disorders

Recognize the Issue

MindWell describes learning disorders as falling into two major categories:

  1. Problems with academics (Learning Disabilities – LD)
  2. Problems with executive functioning or attention (Executive Functioning Disorder (EFD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder – (ADHD)

Individuals with EFD might have challenges with planning, organization, initiation, and monitoring themselves.

People with ADHD might show hyperactive/fidgety behaviors, inattention, distractibility, and/or impulsivity. These behaviors, present for years, can be seen at school, at home, and with peers.

Students with LD have a neurologically-based processing problem that interferes with the ability to master specific learning skills. Contact us today to schedule a consult to talk about executive functioning and ADHD.

Between 30 and 50 percent of individuals with LD will also have ADHD. The reverse is also true, between 30 and 50 percent of people with ADHD will also have LD. So, it is wise to look for both possibilities.
