As many as 75% of diagnosed children with ADHD meet criteria for some other psychiatric diagnosis. [39]
Not only is ADHD the most commonly encountered childhood-onset disorder in neurodevelopment, there is also a high comorbidity rate linking ADHD with other behavioral, emotional and learning problems and disabilities. [6] As a need to obtain a defined population sample due to a lack of funds, Wolraich developed the teacher VADRS.
