Children with dyslexia experience more behavioral issues, as reported by parents and teachers. These problems, including attention difficulties, are not explained by background factors in this Norwegian study.

Area of Science:

  • Child Psychology
  • Developmental Neuroscience
  • Educational Psychology

Background:

  • Dyslexia is a common learning disorder affecting reading and spelling.
  • Behavioral problems are frequently observed in children with learning disabilities.
  • Understanding the link between dyslexia and behavior is crucial for early intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between dyslexia and behavior problems in pre-adolescent children.
  • To determine if social, developmental, or health factors mediate this relationship.

Main Methods:

  • A population sample of 10- to 12-year-old children in Bergen, Norway was screened for dyslexia.
  • Twenty-five dyslexic children and a matched control group were recruited.
  • Behavior problems were assessed using the Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL), Teacher Self Report (TRF), and Youth Self Report (YSR).

Main Results:

  • Dyslexic children exhibited significantly more behavior problems than controls on parent (CBCL) and teacher (TRF) reports.
  • Higher scores were observed in dyslexic children on Total Behavior Problem, Internalizing, Externalizing, and Attention Problem scales.
  • No significant differences in behavior problems were found using the Youth Self Report (YSR).

Conclusions:

  • Pre-adolescent children with dyslexia demonstrate a broad spectrum of behavior problems.
  • These behavioral issues are not attributable to social background, prenatal risks, birth weight, preschool language, or IQ.
  • Early identification and support for behavioral challenges in dyslexic children are warranted.
