Abstract	Children with learning disorders (LD) are at increased risk for a host of psychosocial problems, including Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) (e.g., Bouffard, Roy, & Vezeau, 2005; Elksnin & Elksnin, 2004; Greenham, 1999; Michaels & Lewandowski, 1990; Sideridis, Morgan, Botsas, Padeliadu & Fuchs, 2006; Weiner & Tardiff, 2004). While the co-morbidity between learning disorders and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorders (ADHD) has been well documented, the nature of the relationship between the disorders and the overlap of manifested symptoms have not been thoroughly examined (Zentall, 2005). This study examines parent and teacher ratings on the Behavior Assessment System for Children for 91 students with learning disorders referred for reading problems, both with and without Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Both parent and teacher ratings differed significantly from the mean for all children in the sample for Internalizing and Social Problems. Parent and teacher ratings suggested significantly more difficulties with Externalizing behaviors for children with both ADHD and LD compared to children with LD. Parent ratings suggested that the children with both LD and ADHD had more difficulties with hyperactivity than the children with LD only; teacher ratings suggested more difficulties with attention and learning for the children with both LD and ADHD.
