ADHD commonly occurs with a reading disability (RD); inattention has been linked with poorer reading measures in ADHD. However, the neural basis of the association has yet to be investigated. Age interactions and main effects of diagnosis were modeled for functional activations in ADHD+RD, ADHD-RD, and controls during a sustained attention fMRI task. Results suggest that developmental patterns may be similar in ADHD subgroups compared to controls, but the degree of hypoactivation in attention-related areas is significantly worse in ADHD+RD.
