No: Since dyslexia is not a disease, there is no "cure" for it. It is a developmental disorder that requires specific, generally phonics-based training, which will help you improve.

No: Consider dyslexia like you would a wiring problem in the brain.Their connections don't sort out the symbols of reading as well & putting their brain on "stimulant" meds just makes the nerves fire faster.If the wiring is wrong, the outcome is just the same.There are some dyslexics that have ADHD involving a different brain modulation issue.It might help them function better, just not the dyslexia
