Later this week, I'll be taking my seven year old in to begin testing for ADHD.

Reading this thread has been very interesting - there's so many 'when I was a kid' that sounds like my son. Because he's so young, it will probably be a long road in terms of diagnosis and then decision on what do for treatment.

In the meantime, is there any suggestions for things that I can do to help him on the behavioral end? Was there anything that your parents did that was helpful - routines, structures, techniques, etc? If you had a peaceful workspace at home to help you concentrate, did you find that the contrast made it harder to concentrate at school? Really, any advice would be helpful. The internet has been a good source for information about symptoms and general advice, but a lot of it relates to older children or teenagers.
