Cognitive Characteristics
Research is thin in terms of cognitive characteristics in children with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. I contacted a Special Education Teacher from a high school in Medicine Hat, Alberta and she informed me that students with O. D. D. do not have any specific cognitive disabilities because children who are low functioning and children who are gifted can be affected by O. D. D. This section is muddy water in terms of available resources and the DSM IV does not list any cognitive characteristics either.
