Objective
A percentage of children with learning difficulties (LD) in reading and calculating have behavioral problems (BP), too. Two LD groups - having (GA) and not-having (GB) behavioral problems according to their teachers - were studied.
Methods
Child Behavior Checklist (CBCL) was filled by the teachers of 236 LD children, 45 of them having BP complaints. Factor Analysis was employed to analyze CBCL data.
Results
Two Factors accounted for more than 70% of the total data variance on both GA (F1 and F2) and GB (F3 and F4 in Table 1) groups.

ATE - attention deficit; HIP - hyperactivity; OPO - opposition-defiant; SOC - sociability; ANX - anxiety; AFE -affective complaints; SHY - shyness; AGR - aggressiveness; SOM - somatic complaints.
According to the DSM-V and the above results, GA children have a CBLC profile compatible with Generalized Anxiety Disorder (GAD - F1) or Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Combined Type (F2), whereas GB students are either ADHD, Predominantly Hyperactive-Impulsive Type (F3) or ADHD, Predominantly Inattentive Type (F4).
Conclusion
The results indicate that teachers tend to consider either ADHD/Hyperactive-Impulsive (F3) or ADHD/Inattentive (F4) as not having BP and to consider misbehavior associated with GAD (F1) and ADHD/Combined (F2).
