Dr. Daly, Thank you for the excellent work you have done with cluttering; I have been applying your information since I heard you speak at my state association convention back in the early 80's when we first started to hear about cluttering. Along with Klaas, I questioned not seeing rapid rate in the top complaints on your questionnaire-it will be interesting to see if the data change with your re-wording (to exclude "intact articulation" along with rapid rate). In my experience of seeing clutterers, the presence of rapid rate is hallmark. What does current research indicate re: percentage of clutterers with diagnosed ADHD, and what are your current thoughts about relative strength re: mathematical vs. linguistic skills in clutterers? (it seems that alot of my cluttering clients have been quite bright with math but struggle with more language oriented tasks). Thanks!
