Hi! I was diagnosed ADD/ADHD when I was little. My mother refused to put me on meds and found a creative way to make me feel special and smart (I will always love my mother for that).
Some of the things that helped me learn a little better were:

1- When ever I read, I did it out loud, in that way I didn't only see the words I was reading but I was also listening to them. I also kept my finger touching the words as I read them ( feel, see and hear at the same time, it's called multi sensorial learning)

Using colorful markers and highlighters to add visuals to my notes in my notebooks and anything I had to study also helped.

Have you taken a test to determine if you are a visual, auditorial or tactile learner? That may help you too ....

THIS IS MY FEELING REGARDING ADD OR ADD/ADHD: It is not a learning disability, it is a learning difference. We can be as succesful as anybody else, if not more ....

peace
