Deborah, with all due respect. I don't think you've checked out all the literature. ADHD is NOT wholly chemical. It has sensory/motor imbalances, nutritional, food sensitivities, behavioral and other issues which can exist concurrently with the lack of dopamine or norepinephrine (which is what I assume you meant by "wholly chemical".

There aren't a lot of books on the topic, but one is Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy with ADHD Children: Child, Family, and School Interventions.
Here's another book that looks more parent-friendly:
