Concise, Can-do Guide for the Perplexed

I've read much on ADHD, but if I were only reading one book, I would pick this book. Straight forward, well organized, empathetic, thorough, and realistic, this guide provides a road map to success. Additionally, the medication and legal issues sections will serve as handy and quick references. Quinn has provided the ADD student and parent with an outstanding guide book.

useful and well presented

I learned alot form this quick read. I am the mother of a 16 year old girl recently diagnosed with ADD. I learned that much of my frustration with my daughter is really frustration with her ADD. Good info on coping strategies and resources, and an especially nice chapter about ADD as it manifests for girls, as opposed to boys. My daughter also enjoyed reading it and it helped to improve her self esteem, reinforcing that much of the frustration she has faced was the result of her ADD, and there are ways to work with this so she can enjoy more success in her life. This book was recommended by the psychologist we worked with.

Great book!

this book is great! It's like it was written special for me! now if i could only sit and actually read it ...............

VERY HELPFUL RESOURCE for STUDENTS!

Patricia Quinn, MD has put together a helpful, concise, easy-to-read book that addresses the problems which may develop for students in high school and college. Each chapter is written by a different specialist who offers information on their specific topic. I recommend this book to all my ADD teenaged clients whether or not they want to go on to college. It is an extremely helpful resource.

Very helpful for student and parent

This book helped identify gifted students with ADD who were not doing well in college. The checklist included was helpful for the student in his consultation with the physician who was treating his ADD. The physician liked the checklist so much that he asked to copy it for his files!
