Research study on ADHD and dyslexia

DOES YOUR CHILD HAVE ADHD AND / OR A LEARNING DISABILITY IN READING (DYSLEXIA)?

Your child may be eligible to take part in a research study.
1. ADHD is a condition in which a child is easily distracted.
2. It is hard for the child to pay attention or wait for his or her turn.
3. It is tough for the child to sit without fidgeting and squirming, or jumping up to do something else.
4. Children with ADHD act first and think later.
5. Children with reading disabilities (dyslexia) have persistent problems with reading.

If this sounds like your child, take this opportunity to learn more about your child’s behavior and this study. A pharmaceutical company is studying an investigational medication that may help girls and boys who experience these symptoms. If your boy or girl is between the ages of 10 and 16 and has ADHD and / or a reading disability contact:
