In regard to dyslexia, I'd think it's just a matter of finding an educator who can help train him to read the right way.
what he said...I was dyslexic and all it took was a caring teacher and some learning tests. I found out what ways I learned the best and changed my environment.

ADD can be helped just by changing the diet. Too much sugar is harmful for a child with ADD. Whatver you do, don't turn to drugs. Keep them active in sports
