Impact of co-morbid attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder on self-perceived health-related quality-of-life of children with specific learning disability.

CONCLUSIONS: "SpLD/ADHD" children perceive their physical functioning to be significantly better. Also their perceptions of their psychosocial functioning are better. Contrary to parent-proxy reports, co-occurring "untreated" ADHD does not adversely impact the self-perceived HRQoL of children with "newly diagnosed" SpLD.
