The following case is presented to demonstrate the difficulties associated with treatment of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) when it is comorbid with a learning disability (LD). These two disorders exist simultaneously in about 30% of those diagnosed with ADHD. It is often difficult to separate the effects of one condition from those of the other. Researchers and clinicians often struggle with questions concerning the origin of inattentive symptoms. A child with LD may have trouble attending if placed in a classroom setting not designed to deal with issues related to LD, while a child with attention deficit may not be progressing as well as expected because of problems maintaining attention. This case highlights the need for a multi-faceted approach to the treatment of ADHD, as well as, the need for continued evaluation of the effectiveness of the treatment plan instituted.
