Single Mom of 8-yr-old ADHD Son

In the last 4 years I have found out my son has ADHD, Speech/Language impaired, Processing Disorder and Mental Retardation. In the last month I have been told about the Mental Retardation and Processing disorder. I'm back to square one and don't know how and what to do to help my son better. I have 2 other children that seem to be OK and no problems like these. I try my hardest to do things with all of them but my 8 yr seem to get most of it. Does anyone have any ideas on how to help my son more?

Help from another mom

My son struggled for years. Here is my story in these articles. I have found success with changing his diet. Its not as hard as it seems and it made a major difference. http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/955233/conquering_adhd_setting_a_boy_free.html?cat=5 http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/981364/adhd_changing_a_childs_diet_will_improve.html?cat=5

ADHD Help

Hello there:

Wow. You are certainly shouldering more than your fair load. I'm sorry to hear that your son is facing so many challenges, but know that you've come to the right place for help...

Have you looked into school accommodations for him? Here are ADDitude's best articles about IEPs, 504s, academic evaluations, etc.

What about ADHD treatment? Here is some helpful information about medication for children and alternative ADHD treatments.

Finally, here is a great article about balancing a parent's time and attention between an ADHD child and his/her siblings.

I hope this helps!
