1. High dose DHA. In multi gram strength.
2. Mozart music believe it or not.
3. Meal frquency and type to control insulin responses and blood sugar.
4. Elimination of allergens.
5. Some cognitive and behavioral correction, because ADD sets up a negative behavioral pattern.

That's a myth. If a child truly has ADD, doing any of the above will not effectively control it. The problem is that there are other medical problems (as MysticCat81 pointed out) that have similar symptoms.
In my opinion, using anyone other than a specialist to diagnose ADD is irresponsible. Its just as bad to medicate a child who does not have ADD with that type of medication, as it is to let a true case of ADD go untreated.
