ADHD teenager and behavior

Submitted by an LD OnLine user on

My 13 year old son was declassified last year, was really struggling in 7th grade. Many behavior problems. Got him a 504 plan, back with reading specialist, grades improving along with behavior. Had increased morning dose of ritalin to 30, afternoon dose kept at 20. THis was only about 6-8 weeks ago. Marked improvement. Now hearing once again, that attention has become poor again and bouncing off the walls in school. Weather has been nice and I know they are in crunch time at school to prepare for end of year exams. Does anyone have any ideas for what has worked for their kids. Son is very athletic, but not playing anything now, baseball to start shortly. Any exercise programs that have worked? Weight training? Running? He just has so much energy.
