I wonder if I might make an addition to your list? I've had experience with most of the items on your list, and I think all of those are good choices. However, in my experience, they seem to work better if you also do some kind of physical movement, such as QiGong or yoga.
However, your specific challenge--ADD--might be especially to the kind of energy work Donna Eden teaches. She has a book and several videos available (I think some are on DVD as well) at www.inndersource.net. Some of this is also available on amazon. There are some lively conversations with lots of helpful hints on the Yahoo group, Creative Energies.
The past two years have been truly challenging for me, but I've made progress using a combination of Spring Forest QiGong, Donna Eden's work, Luanne Oakes' sound healing programs, and some of the Learning Strategies materials.
Sometimes it's finding the right combination of techniques that "does the trick" rather than looking for just one technique. So perhaps you might find that your intuition will lead you to the techniques that will help the most--if it's more than one, give it some consideration.
