AB Children  with  epilepsy  are  at  risk  for  cognitive  disorders.  They  experience  more  academic  underachievement  and  frequently  suffer  from  impaired  attention.  These  problems  are  found  even  in  those  children  with  epilepsy  and  a  normal  intelligence.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  concentrate  on  school-age  children  with  epilepsy.  We  will  review  learning  disorders  (LD)  and  attention  deficit  hyperactivity  disorder  (ADHD).  Additional  information  on  mental  retardation  can  be  found  in  Chapters  27  and  28  and  more  information  on  cognitive  problems  in  Chapter  33.
