What is the best method for treating ADHD + intellectual disability in children?

Patient's question:

Boy, 8 years old, in first grade, poor language expression ability, unable to communicate normally with others or express things, cannot play normally with children, easily cries, and has unstable emotions. Struggles with learning, unable to read or write normally in class, scribbles on test papers sent by the teacher, and has difficulties with drawing and coloring. Memorizing texts and singing are okay, but logical thinking ability is poor, and homework must be accompanied by parents, with each question being pointed out. Needs a break after doing homework for 20 minutes to drink water or use the restroom. Has been taking traditional Chinese medicine and children's intelligence syrup at Jiangsu Provincial Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine for half a year, feeling a bit better in temperament, but little progress in other areas. An electroencephalogram was normal, blood lead levels were normal, and there is slightly low zinc. Currently starting to take Focalin.

Doctor's answer:

What is the IQ score? What specific method was used for the test? Based on your description of your child's condition, it is not a simple issue of intelligence but rather more prominent behavioral problems. Therefore, medication for ADHD cannot solve everything. It is recommended to visit Nanjing Brain Hospital for consultation.
