With the typical development of reading, language and cognition as a back-drop, this module explores neurodevelopmental disorders of cognitive function, focusing on learning and language disorders such as dyslexia, reading comprehension impairment, dyscalculia, and developmental language disorder, and ADHD, autism spectrum disorders and general learning disabilities. In addition, we will consider mental health and behavioural difficulties in childhood, as well as exploring the the overlap between different types of disorder.
