Motivation, Motivation, Motivation!! You must find what motivates this child. Is it a food,a Tv show, a book, a toy? You need to pair yourself with his motivators and then slowly put demands on him. I have seen children with "no attention span" sit for hours for a Tv show or computer game. It's not that they have no attention span but that they are not motivated to do what you want them to do. Check in to info about behavioral strategies and control. It is often associated with children on the spectrum but good behavioral strategies work on all children. Hope this helps.
