When it comes to the use of Strattera there has been some review given into the use of it on healthy children with dyslexia in particular. This one study in particular looked at all of the effects that the drug has through a range of different tests. Some of the particular tests included phonological tests as well as some reading tests also.

This is a great article that highlights many struggles teens are having.

When it comes to the analysis of the paper that was written by Dr. Sally Shaywitz the paper itself has shown that thirty four percent of dyslexic students dropped out of the study. Of the students that dropped out of the study most of the side effects that were reported included nausea, fatigue, upper abdominal pain, decreased appetite, somnolence, as well as aggression.

Key takeaways

  1. Eli Lilly and Yale did a study to see the effects of Strattera on otherwise healthy children diagnosed with Dyslexia.
  2. Key points of the study and the drug tested are outlined.
  3. Conclusion of the study finds that Strattera has no effect upon improving reading disorders.

Get your free personalized learning roadmap

You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.

  • Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
  • Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
  • You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
  • Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly

Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.

Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.

Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.

A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
