More than four million school children in the United States have ADHD. For many of them, medication is an important part of their treatment. It shouldnt, however, be their only treatment.

"Doctors who treat children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder said structure in the classroom and at home is vital." Columbus, Ohio news station 10TV reported. "Doctors recommend also including organization, prompts to keep kids on task and even checklists so they can follow their routines."

According to the 10TV report, Dr. Daniel Coury also suggests having students complete homework as soon as they get home so that theyre not having to stay focused later at night when medication may be wearing off.
