I have to second MaryDean about diet - our son has some challenging behaviours and we put him on the Elimination Diet (Sue Dengate is our guru!) and saw dramatic changes. We did this after a gf tried it with her son who had been diagnosed ADHD/ODD and after the diet had his diagnosis reversed.
Another behaviour program that is very good is 1-2-3 Magic.
If you search for Sue Dengate you will find her website which has many fact sheets. As for ADHD being neurological, nobody has proven that, whereas there are proven links between food and ADHD, RPAH has done a lot of research as have others. Even natural foods can set them off. There are a lot of additives in our food too - preservatives, colours and flavours - which have many harmful effects.
