stress management, identification of "triggers" of the symptoms.... From personal experience, I can tell you that the various forms of Dyslexia can mimick ADD/ADHD as well.
When a child with Dyslexia suffers "disorientation" they often exhibit lack of attentiveness...day dreaming.. pencil tapping, etc.
For more links you can check out my profile page for information on Dyslexia, as well as info on the possible link between Sleep Apnea and ADD behavior as well.

Giftedness can also mimick ADD. My son's second grade teacher (in a private Christian school) thought he might have ADD because he wasn't paying attention in class.
We had him tested at the public school. He had a higher than average attention span, and he is gifted.
He was bored stiff in 2nd grade. He still gets very bored with writing tasks. It's very hard to get him to sit still and finish any written homework.
