I would talk to the doctor about changing meds. One of my kids has ADHD, and we have tried several meds until we found one that really helped her. Additionally, she is in a 504 plan at her school. The teacher helps her by cutting the workload into "manageable" pieces, so it is less overwhelming for her. Since when is he on Strattera? Have you noticed ANY change in his behavior/concentration? Have they checked his blood regularly?

Fish oil supplements with omega 3s are amazing. They make a gummy version for kids available at walmart. As for homework, try having him work on it for short time periods. Whatever he can handle, maybe 10 minutes at a time. You can gradually increase it by a minute or two each week.
