Subject: Re: [xmca] ADHD and CHAT
I would love to see Wanda's paper, Steve.
It has been some years since I last worked systematically on the issue of
ADHD.
Ana, you might find relevant :
Cole, M., & Traupmann, K. (1981). Comparative cognitive research: Learning
from a
learning disabled child. In W. A. Collins (Ed.), Minnesota Symposium on
Child
Development (Vol. 14). Hillsdale, NJ: Erlbaum.
If you cannot get ahold of it, I can send a copy.
The example here could not more clearly show that lack of executive function
is irrelevant
to this particular child's case.
The paper at http://lchc.ucsd.edu/Pubs/NEWTECHN.pdf is about children having
difficulty acquiring fluent reading
and among them is a child for whom the difficulties might well be related to
executive functioning, but not ADHD.
Overall the categories of dis -- ability are an enormous impediment to
understanding.
