[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here - sorry if I wasn't clear - I don't think it's going to solve the speech issues more like make him available for therapy. Also was worried it would not be good to medicate a child with delays.[/quote] Delays and ADHD are two separate issues, but kids can clearly have both. I'd give it a try if the ADHD is bad enough. A language disorder is difficult enough for a child and then combined that with ADHD. Speech therapy gives them the tools to talk when they are ready (or understand/receptive language) but its not something that can be forced. Between 5-7, the language got much better for us but still huge lags (no adhd). I'm pretty anti medication but I would not want the ADHD to impact school. I would try it over the summer due to the side effects on a very low dose. Focus on the ADHD. The language and other delays when his brain is ready.[/quote]
