Q

Is ADHD more of a specific learning disability or an emotional or behavioral disorder? Justify your answer with facts about it’s incidence rate and academic, social and cognitive characteristics

A

ADHD is bidirectional, both a specific learning disability and an emotional/behavioral disorder. the uninhibited cognitive processing characteristic of ADHD is believed to be a form of limited executive functioning, which can contribute to emotional and behavioral disorders and vice versa
