Examining the Comorbidity of Language Impairment and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Open accessAbstract
In the companion papers this issue we presented the value of research on comorbidity, particularly in complex developmental disorders where the identification of etiology is challenging. As we will document below, Language Impairment (SLI) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have been shown to co-occur in a number of studies, and this phenomenon is commonplace in the experience of many clinicians. Given this, we must ask whether the overlap between SLI and ADHD can aid our understanding of these disorders, particularly with regard to the basis for comorbidity. As we review the literature, we will consider the models of comorbidity that were outlined in the Introduction to this issue. Finally, we present original data on SLI and ADHD from a population-based sample of children that have studied over the last two decades in the State of Iowa.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
