Straterra not working

My son was helped by enrolling him in a good social skills group and by using a comprehensive behavioral modification program in addition to his medication (Adderall for a few months, then a change to Daytrana patches). My son "maxes out" on medication after several weeks, so we have to change to a different medication for a while, and then back again. He really likes the social skills group and has learned many new social skills that kids with ADHD lack. The behavior modification program is software-based and uses a point system to earn privileges. He has responded very well to this approach and is learning more self control, which has allowed him to have more social success at school.
