In-depth analyses of four subgroups revealed that students with LD\u2009+\u2009ADHD reported lower academic, emotional, and institutional adjustments as well as reported lower satisfaction with life during RL than the control group members. ADHD was found to directly predict low satisfaction with life through the mediation of adjustment scores.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>In conclusion, it is recommended that support be provided to high-risk LD\/ADHD populations during a crisis.
