Is AD/HD a Learning Disability?
| September 27, 2007 | Posted by Brenda under ADD |
No, AD/HD is not considered a learning disability. It is considered a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act, but not specifically learning based. This is because Attention Deficit Disorder affects far more of a person’s life than their ability to learn.
AD/HD is almost always accompanied by what are known as co-morbidities. A co-morbidity is a secondary disability that occurs along with the primary disability. Typical co-morbidities for AD/HD can include learning disabilities.
