Great tool to help us raise our children

The ADHD book of list is a great guide to discovering the facts about ADHD and what can be done to work with a child who has been diagnosed with it and help him or her to be successful in life. It is appropriate for parents, counselors, educators and an community member who comes in contact with children and adults with this disorder.

this book is HUGE!

I didn't expect this book to be so huge...in size and also in the amount of info. i just received this book today and have skimmed over most of the info in it. i have already found several pages that i will photocopy and give to my child's teacher. the way that the information is presented is easy to follow, easy to locate, and easy to understand. well worth the money and time spent reading it from cover to cover.

Recommended by Psychologist

If you buy only one book on ADD, make it this one.It is huge, comprehensive, terrifically well organized and uniquely easy to use. Because it is presented in list form, you can turn to the topic you need and get more information in two or three pages than most books contain in a 25 page chapter that takes you much, much longer to read.And if you are a parent of a child or teen with ADD, you simply do not have extra time. You will get what you need here and get it fast.There are even sample forms (goals sheets, behavioral records, and charts) that are easy to copy and use.This book will make your life easier!

Great buy!

Without a doubt, this is the most comprehensive and easy-to-read book on AD/HD I have ever read. This book would be an excellent reference for any classroom with AD/HD students. The list format makes finding what you're looking for a pleasant experience. Plus, I've been able to incorporate many of the strategies presented in this book, and I'm extremely pleased with the results.

Teacher Friendly

The text of this extensive book is easy to read, and will be an asset to any elementary teacher with ADHD students in their classroom. I like the way the lists are categorized, so it isn't necessary to read whole chapters to find out what you are looking for. It's great!
