Pediatrician,  's  Response
is your son on any treatment for adhd ?
I think he should be , because ADHD largely affects school performance and academic achievements , I recommend one of the psycostimulants such as vyvans, starts with the 20 MG just before class starts, it will wean off in the first week quickly then adjusting the dose according to the results .
and follow up with the pediatrician to adjust the dose is mandatory .
psychotherapy and behavioral therapy is highly recommended at this stage , so your son doesn't feel left out in school .
