Are Attention- Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) Learning Disabilities?

No, they are behavioral disorders. 


An individual can have more than one learning or behavioral disability. In various studies as many as 50% of those diagnosed with a learning or reading difference have also been diagnosed with ADHD.


Although disabilities may co-occur, one is not the cause of the other.
