Will Risperidone And Intuniv Suffice To Treat Tourette's Syndrome, ADHD And Obsessive Compulsive Disorder?

My 11 year old grandson has been diagnosed with Tourette's, ADHD, obsessive/compulsive disorder, and Asperger's. My son is a single dad raising him and his 15 year old brother. His only insurance is Medicaid. We are having a difficult time finding a psychologist for him that will take Medicaid. My son is at his wits end, and is dreading the middle school years. The child is on risperdone and intuvin prescribed by a neurologist. Do you have any suggestions?
