Clinical and psychoeducational profile of children with specific learning disability and co-occurring attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. (Indian J Med Sci. 2007) “Background: Almost 10% of school-going children have specific learning disability (SpLD) in the form of dyslexia, dysgraphia and/ or dyscalculia. Attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) occurs as a comorbidity in about 20% of these children. … Conclusion: Children with SpLD and co-occurring ADHD need to be identified at an early age to prevent poor school performance and behavioral problems.”

Sleep problems are associated with poor outcomes in remedial teaching programmes: A preliminary study. (J Paediatr Child Health. 2007) "Conclusions: This preliminary study suggests that children in remedial school programmes may have poor sleep compared with those in mainstream schools.

If sleep disturbances worsen daytime behaviour, then diagnosis and treatment of underlying sleep disorders could offer a novel therapeutic opportunity."
