To teach difficult child 1 to take pills we got the pill cases from a health food store and put colored flavored sugar in them.  (Like the kind you get in candy.)  He could then take them apart and put them on his tongue.  Then he'd swallow one, or if it didn't go down it wasn't a big deal.  We'd just try again telling him to put his chin down.  Eventually he got to where he could swallow 4 at a time and was showing off to anyone who would watch.  We still have the pill cases and put the Risperdal in them because he doesn't like the taste of the pills.
