The English sentence is correct, but a little bit hard to read because of the em-dashes.

✅ They draw on the same mental resources—using language, parsing meaning—demanded by schoolwork.
= They draw on the same mental resources demanded by schoolwork (such as using language and parsing meaning).
= They draw on the same mental resources (that are) demanded by schoolwork (such as... ).

You can also write the sentence using "as". The meaning is very close.

✅ They draw on the same mental resources—using language, parsing meaning—as demanded by schoolwork.
= They draw on the same mental resources as (are) demanded by schoolwork (such as using language and parsing meaning).

I hope this answers your question.
