ADHD and Dyslexia: Is there a Link?

As someone who meets a lot of children with ADHD and a lot of children with dyslexia, I began to notice that a lot of my “ADHD” students have struggles that mimic those of my students with “dyslexia”, and those with “dyslexia” often seemed to exhibit ADHD characteristics, and sometimes children were diagnosed with both.
I was often told all the reasons that dyslexia might cause inattention and all the reasons why ADHD might cause reading struggles, but it wasn’t enough to explain what I was seeing, so I started digging.
If you are a little bit of a research nerd, you’ll find this episode especially fascinating!
Brain scans reveal a link between ADHD and Dyslexia. Parents of children with dyslexia or with ADHD should understand that there is scientific evidence to watch carefully for the other “disability” if there child has either ADHD or Dyslexia. And, a differently wired brain does not actually need to be seen as a disability.
