If a parent is diagnosed with ADHD or Learning Disorders such as dyslexia, it is very likely that their child will have one as well. Understanding the family history of children struggling with learning or attention is vital for their health provider to make a proper diagnosis and identify the signs as early as possible. The CDC encourages parents to ask family members if anyone has a learning disability before their child sees a doctor (this includes aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents) because LDs are highly heritable. Dyslexia is a central focus since it makes up 70% of all LDs.
