Martin, BrittanyLee N.; Fuchs, Lynn S. – Learning Disabilities Research & Practice, 2022
The first purpose of this study was to examine the prevalence of risk for comorbid reading and mathematics disabilities (RMD) at start of first grade, when measured in a representative sample of 3,062 students with first-grade fluency measures (word reading; computation). The second purpose was to examine the utility of these measures for…

Costa, Lara-Jeane C.; Edwards, Crystal N.; Hooper, Stephen R. – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2016
This longitudinal study was conducted to determine (a) the rate of co-occurrence of reading disabilities (RDs) in a writing disability (WD) population of students followed from first grade to fourth grade and (b) the cognitive burden that is assumed by having a WD and a RD (WD + RD). The sample included 137 first-grade students from a single…

Willcutt, Erik G.; Petrill, Stephen A.; Wu, Sarah; Boada, Richard; DeFries, John C.; Olson, Richard K.; Pennington, Bruce F. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2013
Reading disability (RD) and math disability (MD) frequently co-occur, but the etiology of this comorbidity is not well understood. Groups with RD only (N = 241), MD only (N = 183), and RD + MD (N = 188) and a control group with neither disorder (N = 411) completed a battery of measures of internalizing and externalizing psychopathology, social and…

Peer reviewedBreier, Joshua I.; Fletcher, Jack M.; Foorman, Barbara R.; Klaas, Patricia; Gray, Lincoln C. – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2003
Tasks assessing perception of auditory temporal and nontemporal cues were administered to children with reading disorders (RD) with or without attention deficit hyperactivity disorder or with ADHD alone. The presence of RD was associated only with a deficit in detection of a tone onset time synchrony. The presence of ADHD was associated with a…

Peer reviewedWillcutt, Erik G.; Pennington, Bruce F. – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2000
A study involving 494 twins with a reading disability (RD) and 373 typical twins found that individuals with RD were more likely to meet criteria for attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and that the association between RD and ADHD was stronger for symptoms of inattention than for hyperactivity symptoms. (Contains extensive references.)…

Peer reviewedClarke, Adam R.; Barry, Robert J.; McCarthy, Rory; Selikowitz, Mark – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2002
A study investigated electroencephalographic (EEG) differences between children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder with reading disabilities (ADHD + RD) (n=20) or without (n=20), and 20 controls. Results indicate differences found in the ADHD + RD group represent an electrophysiological component associated with the reading disability…

Peer reviewedJavorsky, James – Annals of Dyslexia, 1995
This study examined the relationship between psychiatric and language disorders in 96 youth (mean age 13) in a private psychiatric hospital. Over 33% of subjects exhibited significant deficits in both phonology and syntax, qualifying for a language learning disability diagnosis, but only 44% of this group were receiving special education services…

Peer reviewedFuchs, Lynn S.; Fuchs, Douglas – Journal of Learning Disabilities, 2002
A study investigated the mathematical problem-solving abilities of 18 fourth-graders with mathematics disabilities (MD) with and without comorbid reading disabilities (RD). Results demonstrated large deficits for both groups. However, the differences between students with and without RD were mediated by the level of problem solving and by…

Peer reviewedFaykus, Suzanne P.; McCurdy, Barry L. – Education and Treatment of Children, 1998
The sensitivity of two curriculum-based measurement procedures, maze (a modified cloze procedure), and oral reading, were evaluated with six students with mental retardation and concomitant emotional/behavioral disorders. Although teacher acceptability of the two procedures was equal, ideographic comparisons revealed oral reading fluency to be a…

Kauffman, James M., Ed.; Hallahan, Daniel P., Ed. – Routledge, Taylor & Francis Group, 2011
Special education is now an established part of public education in the United States--by law and by custom. However, it is still widely misunderstood and continues to be dogged by controversies related to such things as categorization, grouping, assessment, placement, funding, instruction, and a variety of legal issues. The purpose of this…
