Abstract: | Children may present with reading and/or attentional and/or affective (depressive) disorders in childhood. Although reading
problems are more readily identifiable, childhood attentional and affective disorders can be difficult to recognize and diagnose.
Here are discussed a number of complex and potentially confusing ways in which reading, attentional and affective disorders
may be related: a primary problem in one area may result in problems in another; one disorder may look like another; and/or
a child may simultaneously present two or all three primary disorders. Current clinical practice and recent and ongoing research
is presented to clarify the changing definitions and potential relationships of these three childhood disorders to aid the
process of differential diagnosis. |
