Dyslexia and ADHD

My son appears "bored" and get into trouble
especially in classes with book work.
Can this be a symptom of Dyslexia?

Attention issues and Dyslexia are often
present in the same person

The key is to identify both challenges
because:

- Students with Dyslexia often learn
best when they see and experience
information

- Students with Dyslexia will often
be bored by traditional methods
and will do far better with
engaging methods -- they get into
trouble partially because they
are frustrated

- ADHD may well exist and the
combination makes challenges
the student, the parent and
the teacher

- Accommodations at school are
easier to get with ADHD then
with Dyslexia

- There are now natural and
effective ways to address
attention issues with less
or no medication -- we use
the Interactive Metronome (R),
Brain Gym (R) and Biofeedback

Results are best when both the
Dyslexia and the ADHD are
addressed

Note, the same students often
have vision issues -- skipping
words or lines when reading,
difficulty copying off the board
and/or reversals

Again, it is best to identify
and address all the key issues
