摘要
Children with learning and attention disorders commonly present with symptoms of both types of disorders. in many children, this co-occurrence represents comorbid disorders that are separate but overlapping. Because of comorbidity, the presence of one disorder signals the need to evaluate for the other disorders. Evaluation and treatment approaches must address both disorders when present.
