The best thing that you can do is to learn all you can about ADHD, so that you understand what is going on with him.
The book I recommend the most because it answers so many questions in an easy to find format is - "The ADD/ ADHD Answer book," by Susan Ashley. Its only about 10 bucks on amazon.
A site that has a tremendous amount of good parenting ideas is this one.

And by the way, the more that he understands how ADHD affects him, the better he will be able to cope with it. The same site has a great section on "schools and learning disabilities" which will be helpful for him.
Best wishes!
