NOt really the only thing I can honestly think of is to pick up any and all homework he misses. And to sit him down and say this is what you are
doing now because you missed it. Take away all things he would rather
do untill all the homework is done.

Even going to bed. I would also take the option of going to the psychiatrist
out of his hands. Tell him its just like going to the doctor. When your sick
you have to go. So if he can't make himself get up and get going then the
appointment is made, and he has to go. Have a standing appointment
say every Wednesday at a certain time. Make sure someone can be off to
take him. And if he goes to school say 4 of the 5 days, let him out of the
appointment for the first month. Then in the 2nd month tell him, he has
to go to school 5 days of the month for 2 weeks and he can miss one period
the other two weeks if he has a good reason, and gets his homework caught
up with no problems. THen he can miss this one appointment. But the next
month its still all month all 5 days no exceptions or something like this.

YOu have to show him that you are boss not him. also research the meds
that are available for him. THen go in with ideas which one you would
like them to try. Period, have them let you have a say.

My email is dmom3005@yahoo.com, if you need more help.
