Detailed Explanation & Solution
Explanation
The correct option is (c).
- Dyslexia: It is a neurologically-based learning disability primarily associated with phonological processing deficits and abnormalities in the brain's Visual Word Form Area (VWFA) and Left Perisylvian Region.
- ADHD (Russell Barkley's Model): Russell Barkley's executive function model emphasizes deficits in 'Inhibitory Control' and 'Working Memory'.
- Inclusive Education Implication: When these conditions co-occur, they demand specialized multisensory instructional strategies (such as Orton-Gillingham methods) and comprehensive remedial teaching to foster literacy effectively.
