Popis: Three groups of children with LDs (LDs; a total of 62 children) are considered in this study with respect to their specific cognitive and psychological features. In the first group of children, these difficulties are symptoms of the FMR1 gene dysfunction. The poor academic performance of children from the second group is associated with social interaction problems at a high intelligence level. The low academic performance of children from the third group results from unevenly developed verbal and nonverbal abilities. The importance of integrated neurophysiologic, neuropsychological, and clinical psychological examination for identifying the causes of difficulties at school has been demonstrated.
