The Impact of Dyslexia on ADHD

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one thing, but what about having ADHD and dyslexia? In this episode of Attention Talk Radio, co-hosts Jeff Copper and Kirsten Milliken interview Judith Stern, co-author of The Dyslexia Checklist: A Practical Reference for Parents and Teachers about the extra challenges facing those with ADHD and dyslexia.  They talk about how hard it is for those with dyslexia to read, especially when they get distracted and forget what they read.  Their conversation includes practical strategies to help these individuals, while Jeff Copper shares tips and compensatory strategies he has used to deal with his dyslexia and learning disabilities, like what to do when asked to read out loud without warning.  If you have ADHD, dyslexia, a learning disability individually, collectively, or in groups, you don’t want to miss this show.
