However, problems with attention can make significant contribution to other learning difficulties, so if your child's problems with numbers is associated with attention problems (which is likely - sequencing is closely linked to attention, and arithmetic requires maintaining focus through a series of operations) then it is probable that the medication would help, at least to some degree. That said, i would not personally recommend meds as a first course of action. ADHD medication helps people pay attention.
