Health Update
Tips
(NAPS)--The entrepreneurial
team at Janssen Healthcare Inno-
vation (JHI), part of Janssen
Research & Development, LLC,
one of the Janssen Pharmaceuti-
cal Companies of Johnson & John-
son, recognizes that life can be
stressful, which can make it easy
to forget routine tasks such as
taking medications as prescribed.
However, medicationadher-
ence is a significant public health
concern. According to the World
Health Organization, 50 percent
of chronically ill patients do not
take their medications as pre-
scribed. A review published in
Annals of Internal Medicine in-
dicates that medication adherence
failures account for 10 percent of
hospitalizations each year. In
addition, medication-related hos-
pitalizations cost the economy
about $100 billion a year.
Do you know the most common
reason that people fail to take
their medications? 3~hey simply
forget.
Here are five simple steps to
stay on schedule:
1)Work with your schedule.
Think about your daily routine.
Do you thrive in the mornings or
are you more of a night owl? Con-
sult your schedule and take your
medications around the same time
every day. Unless your doctor
advises you to take your medica-
tions at specific times, work with
yo~r schedule to stay organized.
2)Condense your storage
space. If you store medications in
multiple locations, keeping track
of your regimen can be difficult.
As the adage goes, out of sight,
out of mind. Store your medica-
tions in an acce.~,sible area you
regularly frequent, such as your
bedroom or bathroom.
3)Download Janssen Heaith-
care Innovation's Care4 Today"
Mobile Health Manager. It's a
free app that helps patients stay
on track of their medication regi-
mens. The app sends scheduled
reminders to users when it's time
to take a pill, making it easy to
stay on schedule. A review of
research on electronic medication
reminders indicates that text mes-
sage reminders can significantly
help patients maintain their med-
ication regimens. The app can
especially aid those with chronic
illnesses requiring complex med-
ication regimens. Learn more at
www.care4today.comJmhm/.
4)Use pillboxes. If you have a
complicated medication regimen,
taking your pills as prescribed can
be intimidating or confusing. Con-

your medications. Pillboxes are a
low-cost yet effective way to keep
your pills separate from one
another while simultaneously
keeping them in one container, so
you don't have to scramble ,be-
tween multiple bottles. In addi-
tion, you can use Care4TodayTM Mo-
bile Health Manager to enhance
the pillbox by sending an auto-
matic reminder when it's time to
take a pill. There are several inex-
pensive available options, such as
these offerings from Ezy Dose and
Friendshipstore.
5)Ask a loved one or care-
giver to remind you. According to
research from the Pew Research
Center, four in 10 adults in the U.S.
are serving as caregivers for an
adult or child with significant
health issues, which indicates fami-
lies are increasingly involved in
their loved ones' health. Care4
Family~---a feature of the Care4
TodayTM Mobile Health Manager--is
a valuable tool for caregivers to
monitor their loved ones' schedules.
The feature provides a notification
when a family member misses a
dose, so caregivers can easily stay
in the loop. Caregivers can then
offer encouragement to their family
members to stay on track with
their medication schedules.
Although sticking to your med-
ication regimen can prove difficult,
implementing these simple
changes can positively impact your
medication adherence routine.

Could Your Child's Reading Struggles Be Dyslexia?
(NAPS)--It happens every
year: A parent is called by her
young child's teacher. "Your
daughter is not keeping up in
class and her reading is behind
that of her peers. She takes much
longer to do her work, and her
writing is sloppy. You need to
work with her more at home." "
The parent feels perplexed and
anxious because she has already
been working with her daughter
for hours each night. She tolls her
she must apply herself more and
stop goofing off. Later on, she
wonders if that was the right
thing to say.
As many as one in five children
are affected by dyslexia--the No. 1
reason for reading struggles. It's
also the most common learning
disability and accounts for many
school dropouts. How do you know
if your child has dyslexia? Read on.
What Challenge Does
Dyslexia Pose To Children?
Dyslexia is a brain-based lan-
guage disability. MRI brain scans
show that people who have dys-
lexia use a different part of their
brain when reading, which makes
processing print much harder.
You'll notice this difficulty not
only in their reading but also in
their spelling. Sometimes, people
with dyslexia will struggle with
processing spoken language as
well.
All these factors may affect a
child's self-esteem due to loss of
confidence. They may believe they
are not as smart as their peers.
That's ironic, because in actuality,
many kids with dyslexia are
bright and gifted--their learning
difference has nothing to do with
intelligence or IQ.
How Can I Have
My Child Tested?
You'll want to look for a rep-
utable child psychologist, edu-
cational psychologist or neuro-
psychologist who specifically
evaluates for dyslexia. The in-
depth evaluation will take several
hours and give you a detailed out-
line of your child's areas of
strengths and weaknesses. Most
also list recommendations on
reading methods and accommoda-
tions that may help your specific
child. Unfortunately, most public
schools do not specifically evalu-
ate for dyslexia, although they
will look for the broader category
of a "specific learning disability."
How Can Educators Help?
General and special education
Research shows that early identi-
fication and intervention is the
key to helping a child with dys-
lexla learn to read.
teachers are encouraged to learn
everything they can about dys=
lexia. Sign up for professional
development courses that discuss
evidence-based reading method-
ologies to help children who have
dyslexia, such as the Orton-
Gillingham method. The nonprofit
organization Learning Ally offers
a host of professional development
opportunities for teachers, both in
person as well as online. A teacher
grounded in kno~vledge about
dyslexia can be a hero and .a game
changer for a child who feels so
very different.
Is Anything Being Done
To Catch Dyslexia Early?
Research shows that early
identification and intervention is
the key to helping a child with
dyslexia learn to read. State by
state, laws are being passed na-
tionwide calling for early screen-
ing of children--since dyslexia can
be identified as early as age 5~/~.
Most laws support screening chil-
dren in kindergarten or 1st grade,
and then placing them in an
explicit, multisensory reading pro-
gram for phonemic awareness to
help those with dyslexia. There is
also a new bipartisan Dyslexia
Caucus in the U.S. Congress that
many families hope will be influ-
ential in the near future.
Even with such reading pro-
grams in place, it is important to
remember that dyslexia is a life-
long learning difference. It is not
outgrown and there is no "cure."
Proper interventions and accom-
modations are very important.
Where Can I Turn For Help?
Learning Ally is a national non-
profit that helps students in kinder-
garten through graduate school
who have print disabilities like
dyslexia. The organization offers
free parent consultations, webinars
and teacher support. Find out more
