Hi, thanks for asking.
I can understand your concerns.
In my opinion you should start medications for his ADHD so that he has adequate seating behaviour in the class. consult a developmental and behavioural paediatrician regarding this. Also I suggest sensory integration therapy for him for his hyperactivity.
I would not favour special school for him as emphasis is now on inclusive education. Even after this if he can not learn in a routine class then you can take special education for him along with the normal schooling.
I hope I have helped you.
Thank you.
