How about getting your son a "mentor" some therapy agencies have "mentor" programs. There is also big brothers, big sister programs. Im told my son has benefitted from having a mentor. The mentor takes him out to do things like baseball, football games, or just out hanging out at movies parks and so on. Being an only child on my end of things and his father out of the picture and I don't introduce my son to my dates he had no male role model worth "looking up to" and so on. Once my son had a mentor some of his behaviors started changing for the better.

Another thing to consider - accademic testing. when my son was in kindergarten and his behavior was out of whack they did accademic testing to see where he was grade material wise. It turned out that some of his behavior problems were from his being bored. He was a kindergartener being taught kindergarten skills when he was functioning at a second grade level. So they started layloring his work to his level and split his day between attending to different grade - one in the morning and the other in the afternoon. Since his behavior problem escalated in afternoons that was when he was in the easier classroom. He improved so much that he recieved a award at the end of the school year.
