Abstract

In this study, the associations among academic intrinsic motivation, the variables of learning strategy, and emotional and social characteristics of 89 students (2nd -5th) with Specific Learning Disabilities (SLD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and typical comparison (ND) were examined. The significant findings of this study documented the importance of academic intrinsic motivation that positively correlates with note taking and listening skills and is negatively associated with task anxiety. In addition, students with ADHD without learning difficulties were found to have low intrapersonal emotional scale. These findings can further guide effective interventional strategies for general educators of students with SLD and ADHD.
