Saving Rebecca: A Mother's Journey and Triumph into the Unexpected World of ADHD and Disability

By Shirl Crimmins Smith

Are you searching for a book with a parent's perspective regarding ADHD and Disability? Then this narrative is a great place to begin.

Saving Rebecca: A Mother's Journey and Triumph into the Unexpected World of ADHD and Disability is the story of a mother whose faith and tenacity compelled her to become self-educated regarding ADHD and Minimal Brain Disorder. It was from the trenches of fighting a daily battle of chaotic and hostile behavior, from her then four-year-old child, that compelled Shirl Crimmins Smith to develop techniques that enriched the health and education of her daughter Rebecca.

Shirl had depleted her arsenal of parenting tricks with her obstinate and aggressive daughter and headed to the library in pursuit of answers. She needed clarification and strategies for dealing with the ADHD symptoms; however, what she discovered was that trying to decipher the multidimensional and complexing disorder was like falling into a deep rabbit hole. To achieve a better understanding of the perplexing disorder entailed reading over 110 books and viewing several televised programs. Throughout the immense journey, she was persistent in her objective of finding a safe and effective method to manage the behaviors of ADHD.

Smith discovered Dr. Ben F. Feingold's book, Why Your Child Is Hyperactive and applied the all-natural diet and behavioral strategies that achieved extraordinary improvements regarding Rebecca's erratic behaviors. Shirl attributes her triumph with Rebecca to the use of natural foods, working with School Psychologists, Speech and Language Specialists, Social Workers, and Special Education Teachers.

In Saving Rebecca, her story is so much more than solely raising an ADHD and Special Needs child. It is an honest journey of a devoted wife and mother who utilized the controversies in her journey to develop life skills of perseverance, knowledge, and, therefore, success.
