I'm not discounting the meds at all but if a different learning style can help and reduce the dosage then I'm all for it.
The dosage he's on now is severely affecting his appetite and he's lost about 30 pounds in the last year. Which is a lot for an 8 year old who wasn't that big to start...
I'm kind of attached to the little guy and want to keep him around for a while...
