Abstract EN
Background: Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is often associated with language impairment (LI).
Additionally, it may be associated with abnormal electroencephalographic (EEG) findings.
Aim: To assess language abilities and EEG findings in children with ADHD presented with LI in comparison to children with specific Language Impairment (SLI).
Patients and methods: A comparative study was conducted on the different linguistic abilities and electroencephalographic findings of 30 Arabic speaking ADHD children with LI and 30 age and gender matched children with SLI.
Abnormal EEG findings were classified according to anatomical distribution.
Results: The group of ADHD children with LI had significant delay in the acquisition of first word and two word sentence utterance in comparison to the group of SLI children.
