Depends on issues: Learning disabilities are seen in some kids with add or adhd (30-40%) & in that context medications for the add may ease tthe work for the ld. The LD itself is more of a faulty wiring issue where the brain has perticular trouble in a specific area like math. There are no LD pills, herbs etc that i know of. Most therapy works at using multiple modalities to bypass any weak areas to gain skills.
