I agree with Maurine. You really need a DAN and to do some baseline testing. Three staples of the DAN protocol include probiotics, anti-oxidants and omega 3's. The last two are great for focus, clarity, IQ and with-it factor. Some kids may not tolerate CLO (cold liver oil for omega 3's), but I know two kids who were able to tolerate CLO after several of ant-oxidants. Anti-oxidants improve blood flow to the brain.
