Detailed explanation-1: -In many cases, ADHD can affect speech and communication. People with ADHD have a higher risk of articulation disorders, problems with the fluency of speech, and the overall quality and tone of their speaking voice.
Detailed explanation-2: -Although ADHD is not considered a learning disability, research indicates that from 30-50 percent of children with ADHD also have a specific learning disability, and that the two conditions can interact to make learning extremely challenging.
Detailed explanation-3: -A delay in speech or language is one of the earliest signs we have for kids that do go on to get a diagnosis of ADHD later in childhood. In this 2012 study, researchers found that two-thirds of the elementary-aged kids with ADHD had a speech or language delay at 18 months.
Detailed explanation-4: -Overall, the study found that about 20 percent – or 900, 000 – of the 4.5 million children currently identified as having ADHD likely have been misdiagnosed.
