Hi. Yhanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
Yes, Attentrol is the right treatment of ADHD. You have not mentioned the dose at which he was taking Attentrol. If there is scope of increasing the dose you can ask your treating doctor to increase it.
Along with medications you may get Cognitive behavioural therapy for him to improve his organizational skills and confidence.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank You.
