How do you help a child with add who won't take his medication and can't complete tasks?

Adhd Adherence: Hosenbocus et al 2009 found that when a child is receiving a long-acting medication for treatment of adhd, he may feel less stigmatized, is more likely to be adherent and achieve remission. A child in remission can benefit from other treatment modalities thus improving long-term prognosis. Medications such as Vyvanse (lisdexamfetamine) show promise due to the fact that is converted in the intestine with long life.
