Help for Parents of ADHD or Dyslexic Children
Strangely, the first reaction of most parents when they discover their child has ADHD or dyslexia is relief. Their second reaction tends to be "Now what?" and this is where parents get confused and frustrated.
Teachers and fellow parents will have a mind boggaling array advice and suggestion about things to try. Often this information is vague or contradictory and comes in the form of "My neighbour's kid, he tired …".
Now help is at hand for confused parents.
The Myomancy Treatment Database is the definitive resource on ADHD and dyslexia treatments. Over ninety different treatments including everything from mainstream reading programs to the downright bizarre. Each treatment can be rated and commented on by parents who have tried it so that truly helpful treatments can be separated from the rip-offs.
The treatment database is the brain child of Chris Tregenza, author of the Myomancy blog. A dyslexic himself Chris struggled until by luck he found the right treatment. Now Chris spends his time writing about the science of behind learning difficulties and reviewing as many different treatments he can find.
