As I have mentioned in previous posts, my husband and I chose medication to treat our son's ADHD.   I understand, however, that other parents may choose to pursue a different route for their child's treatment.  Below you will find a list of additional treatments available for treating ADHD.  Keep in mind that these treatments do not stand alone. The majority are most effective when combined with each other. 

Non-drug treatments available to treat ADHD:

• Exercise
• Diet & nutrition
• Vitamins
• Neurofeedback
• Biofeedback
• Fatty acid supplements
• Fish oil
• Nature
• Behavior therapy
• Modification
• The Feingold diet
• Meditation
• Alternative medicine
