Abstract

The brain changes and adapts during the dynamic process of learning in order to gather, arrange, and remember information. The foundations of intellectual development and lifelong learning developing cognitive abilities, problem-solving, and adjusting to new challenges all depend on this capacity for thinking. newlineNevertheless, differences in brain connection and structure can impede this process for some people, frequently resulting in learning impairments (LDs). Learning is sometimes difficult for children with Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), in particular, because of deficits in executive functioning, impulse control, and attention span. These difficulties may affect their capacity to control their conduct, process information, and maintain concentration in class. newlineBetween 5% and 10% of children worldwide suffer with ADHD, one of the most common neurodevelopmental diseases in children. If treatment is delayed, symptoms can last into adulthood and are commonly accompanied by other behavioral or cognitive issues. Interestingly, learning problems are diagnosed in between 30-50 % of children with ADHD. Inattentiveness, impulsivity, and hyperactivity are common symptoms that can interfere with learning and make it difficult to remember information, follow directions, and finish activities quickly. newlineSince the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2019, concerns regarding learning challenges have intensified, especially in children. Increased screen time, reduced social interactions, and the evolving structure of family life including rising work pressures and limited parental supervision have all contributed to imbalances in children s mental well-being. These disruptions have been linked to declines in concentration, time management, and academic engagement, creating conditions that may further predispose children to learning difficulties. newlineApproximately 10 15% of school-aged children in India are estimated to have learning difficulties, which affect 5 15% of children and adolescents worldwide.
