Executive functions in learning disorders

TL;DRAbstract

Growing evidence supports the involvement of EF in academic performance and, consequently, EdF in learning disorders (commonly known as learning disabilities or LD). Often, the first indicator of LD is low academic achievement in areas of reading, math, or writing. The terminology used to describe different LD conditions varies by field and includes dyslexia and reading disorder/disability, dyscalculia and mathematics disorder/disability, and disorder of written expression/writing disability. Comorbidity among these learning disorders is common, as is the co-occurrence of LD with ADHD.
