Great book for ADD teens and their families

This book takes a very down to earth look at life as and with an ADD teen. It starts with an easy diagnostic test to see if your child is likely to be ADD in case you're just wondering about it - which you are since you're reading this. The book is written in a way that might even be engaging enough for your teen to actually read! At the very least, if you read it (it takes about 45 minutes to read cover to cover), you'll be less frustrated by the challenges of guiding your child... which is worth every penny this book will cost you.

Teachers! Take note!

For its format alone, this is a must-buy for teachers and the administrators who work with them! As a middle school AP, I've visited far too many classrooms where teachers try to keep students' attention nailed to dreary handwritten overheads in black marker no less. Yawn. Every page of this book demonstrates what good overheads should look like (minus the color I'd like to see)while the text explains WHY this is imperative for ADHD students. GET IT! I love it. I ordered two more for my school.

very helpful for me as a high schooler with ADD

I recently read Help for ADD at High School by Kathleen Nadeau. There were many pieces of advice that were new to me and other things that my parents and tutors had taught me before. The advice that I had heard before, I have used during my years in high school. These simple tips are how I survived and passed every single one of my classes. I could tell that when Dr. Nadeau wrote this book, she understood the people who would be reading it. Usually when I read information books, I get bored and distracted easily. This probably has alot to do with my ADD. Dr. Nadeau remembered that the reader of this book, like myself, probably has ADD. In writing the book, she made a special effort to make sure I didn't loose interest. The content of the book helps students to understand their obstacles and teaches them how to overcome them. I would recomend this book to any high schooler who has ADD, it will truly help you through your difficulties.

Very informative and insightful for teens with ADD

This book was very helpful to both me and my teen. The information is presented in a very clear, teen-friendly and organized manner that's easy to read. It made me aware of what issues I should be discussing with my teen with ADD and gave me suggestions I can make that are helpful. This book also gave my teen insight into typical struggles and solutions that he's dealing with as a result of living with ADD. From basic information about how to know if you have ADD to social and school issues, this book covers all areas of concern in a user-friendly, straightforward and practical manner.

The most "user friendly" ADD book for high school students

As a school psychologist, I am always searching for excellent materials to share with students, parents and teachers. Help4ADD@High School addresses this important need. The font is easy to read and the format is organized and clear so that students with learning and attentional problems are engaged immediately. Issues relating to study skills, homework, social problems and medication are discussed so that students understand how to self advocate and make intelligent choices for the future. I strongly recommend this book for students, teachers, psychologists, educational therapists, administrators, and parents.
