There is a HUGE forum on OSA and SDB here, as well as on the other sleep sites. Although most are adults, their advice and suggestions might be most helpful, and they may know of children's support for this problem as well.

One thing that may also help; post on the SDB - CPAP forum and ask that a couple ppl reply with some advice or comments for your son and then let him read them. I did this for my son who was confused and upset with his sleep events; it went a long way to reassure him he was not alone, to help him understand and to encourage his compliance with therapy (compliance is hardest with teens). It may help him feel like part of the group, instead of just different from his peers.
