Research in Specific Learning Disabilities and Comorbidities (ITEAC) - ITEAC

Reference of the Group:

GIUV2018-431

 
Description of research activity:
The ITEAC research group, which started in 2009, focuses mainly on the two most frequent neurodevelopmental disorders: Specific Learning Disorders (dyslexia, dysorthography, difficulties in comprehension and written expression, difficulties in calculus and in solving mathematical problems) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). Both disorders have a prevalence of around 5-6%, with high persistence in adolescence and adulthood, causing negative consequences in personal, social, academic or occupational functioning (APA, 2014), reasons that justify our interest in their study. Under these parameters, different lines of research are articulated, dedicated to the study of specific learning disorders throughout life, analysis of the impact of specific disorders and comorbidities on the personal, social, family and occupational levels, as well as the analysis of prevention and intervention programmes for specific learning disorders. In addition, the group is occasionally interested in other topics such as prevention and intervention in violence and bullying, the impact of other neurodevelopmental disorders in the family context, the analysis of affective variables in...The ITEAC research group, which started in 2009, focuses mainly on the two most frequent neurodevelopmental disorders: Specific Learning Disorders (dyslexia, dysorthography, difficulties in comprehension and written expression, difficulties in calculus and in solving mathematical problems) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
