| Popis: | Objectives:In this study, it was aimed to investigate the effect of the specific learning disability (SLD) of children with and without the comorbidity of the SLD on the social skills in the attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD).Materials and Methods:Thirty children between the ages of 7 and 10 years, who were only monitored with the diagnosis of ADHD and 30 children with comorbidity of the SLD, (ADHD + SLD) were included in the study. ADHD symptoms of these children were controlled by the medical treatment. The researcher administered the Turkish Version of the Affective Disorders for School-age Children and Schizophrenia Interview Schedule-Now and Lifelong Version to the children and the diagnosis was made by clinical interview according to DSM-5. SLD battery was also performed to children who were suspected to have the diagnosis of SLD. “Socio-demographic Form” and “Social Skills Assessment scale (SSAS)” were given to the parents of all children included in the study.Results:Total mean score level of social skills was 216.96±52.83 in the ADHD + SLD group while it was found as 217±25.59 in the ADHD group, and statistically significant difference was not found in total and subscale scores between two groups (p>0.05). When all the patients (ADHD and ADHD + SLD) were assessed, total mean score of social skills was statistically found to be significantly higher in terms of to being female, having higher mother education, and making social activity.Conclusion:In our study, there was no statistically significant difference between ADHD and ADHD+SLD groups regarding total mean score and subscale scores of social skills. This may be related to the educational and medical treatment of the patients, or it is likely that SLD comorbidity does not cause additional difficulties in terms of social skills. |
