This video opens up a controversial debate: whether or not medication is right for dyslexia and ADHD. According to Dr. Harold Levinson, understanding ADHD and dyslexia involves talking about how the brain is impaired during both of these disorders. The brain is not fully impaired, but rather the signals are scrambled, and this can be treated by different medications. The video notes that it is confusing why these new treatments are not being used, and that the scrambled signals should be treated.
If it’s possible for this medication to work, then parents, what do you think of the idea? Our focus is on teaching brain exercises to straighten out of some of the scrambled pathways this doctor talks about, but could there be room for a mixed treatment plan? Please note, we are absolutely not taking a side on this subject, but parents, please watch this video and chime in.

Key takeaways
- ADHD is a cluster of symptoms which include distractibility, impulsivity, hyperactivity.
- Dr. Levinson discovered that cerebellum and inner ear send signals all throughout the brain and the thinking brain interprets these signals.
- When you have problem in the inner ear you don't have just balance and coordination problems but you'll have sequencing problems. Signals coming to the sensory part of the brain has scrambled.
Is your child struggling in school?
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.
