: http://www.angelfire.com/biz/addsyndrome/index.htmlI am temporarily able to read when I’m awake.It makes sense that treating a medical condition would improve one’s ability to learn. It’s very tricky figuring out when taking meds is a good idea.Our ability to learn is not static, despite our longing to measure it and treat it that way.
Re: Temporary reading improvements
My own experience with my son is that his receptiveness to learning and ability to learn is transiently better during the times when the last dose of Ritalin is still in effect. The improvements in his ability to read from these times of effective learning are permanent. So I would call this transiently improved learning ability with permanently improved reading.
:I read a study where students whose ADHD was treated scored higher on both IQ testing and Woodckcock Johnson Achievement testing. ‘Twould be lovely if the detractors would take notice of what a difference meds can make in the life of the SEVERELY ADHD youngster (I do not refer to mild cases, or to children who are simply difficult to manage, but to children who are so inattentive/distractible/impulsive that they learn little).
