Dyslexia and ADHD: Understanding the Connection

Dyslexia and ADHD frequently co-occur — research suggests up to 30% of individuals with one may have the other.

Both affect how the brain processes information, but in different ways.

Dyslexia impacts reading and language processing.
ADHD affects attention, focus, and impulse control.

Together, they may lead to:

  • Difficulty sustaining attention while reading

  • Inconsistent school performance

  • Frustration or avoidance of reading tasks

Support strategies:

  • Short, focused reading sessions with breaks

  • Movement-based or multisensory learning

  • Consistent routines and visual reminders
