“…Our study extends several aspects of the existing, but very limited data on the QoL of children with an RD (Karande et al, 2009; Karande and Bhosrekar, 2009; Rotsika et al, 2011; Karande and Venkataraman, 2012, 2013; Ginieri-Coccossis et al, 2013). …”

“…There are only limited and controversial data on the impact of comorbidity on the QoL of children with RD (Karande and Bhosrekar, 2009; Karande and Venkataraman, 2013). Karande and Bhosrekar (2009) reported that parent-rated QoL of children with SpLD and comorbid ADHD was significantly poorer than for children with SpLD but without comorbid ADHD.…”

“…Karande and Bhosrekar (2009) reported that parent-rated QoL of children with SpLD and comorbid ADHD was significantly poorer than for children with SpLD but without comorbid ADHD. In contrast Karande and Venkataraman (2013) found that children with SpLD and comorbid ADHD perceive their physical and psychosocial functioning better than children with SpLD but without comorbid ADHD.…”

Purpose: The aim of this study is to investigate self- and parent-rated quality of life (QoL) in children with a reading disability (RD) and the impact of comorbid psychopathology, with special focus on age and gender differences.Methods: Using the Dyslexia Differential Diagnosis Maastricht-Hungarian standard test, 127 children (aged < 18) were included in the RD group and 81 in the control group. To measure comorbid psychopathology, the Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ) was administered. To evaluate the children's QoL self- and parent-rated versions of the Measure of Quality of Life for Children and Adolescents (ILK) were used. Group differences in QoL and psychopathology were assessed using Mann-Whitney U-tests. Moderated mediational models were tested in which comorbid psychopathology mediated the relationship between group membership and self- and parent-rated QoL, which was dependent on gender. Child's age and parents' level of education were included as covariates.Results: The RD group showed lower QoL than the controls in several domains, according to the parent-report, while no differences between the two groups were found, according to self-report. In boys, results revealed conditional and indirect effects of group membership on self- and parent-rated QoL through comorbid psychopathology (−0.046, BCa 95% CI: −0.135 to 0.043 and 0.064, BCa 95% CI: 0.024–0.111, respectively) as well as a conditional direct effect of group membership on parent-reported (−0.098, BCa 95% CI: 0.012–0.184), but not self-rated, QoL. No relationship was found for girls.Conclusions: This study highlights the importance of measuring QoL and comorbid psychopathology in children with RDs from more sources and accounting for gender and age differences.

“…Further detailed analysis of our results confirmed that the HRQoL of children with newly diagnosed SpLD and co-occurring ADHD (SpLD/ADHD) was significantly poorer than the HRQoL of "SpLD only" children (Karande and Bhosrekar 2009). Our data clearly showed that "SpLD/ADHD" children more often exhibit aggressive, immature, and delinquent behavior; they are more dissatisfied with their abilities, family and peer relationships, and their overall life; and their problems have a significant impact on their parent's emotional health and personal time.…”

“…The children with SpLD/ ADHD need special care as they and their parents have far more problems in their everyday life than children with SpLD only (Karande and Bhosrekar 2009). To improve QoL of children with SpLD/ADHD, it is important to treat co-occurring ADHD effectively (by behavioral therapy and if necessary with medications) to improve the psychosocial health of such children.…”

Specific learning disability (SpLD) and attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are the most common neurodevelopmental disorders in children which impair their academic and social functioning. Almost 20% of children with SpLD have co-occurring ADHD and vice versa. Both SpLD and ADHD significantly affect the quality of life (QoL), especially the psychosocial domains, of an afflicted child's life. Both disorders also impact the QoL of parents and siblings, causing disturbances to family functioning. SpLD even with optimum management often is a lifelong disorder. ADHD too may persist into adulthood causing disruptions to both professional and personal life. This chapter describes the QoL of Indian children with SpLD or ADHD, the factors which affect their QoL and steps that need to be taken to improve their QoL.
