Synopsis

ADHD: A Survival Guide for Parents and Teachers fills an important need expressed by parents and caretakers of ADHD children who have asked for clear, practical, and easily understood strategies to deal with ADHD children. The books "survival guide" format meets this important need.

The book’s format is designed so the reader can read either from cover to cover and/or read individual sections that are of special interest and deal with a particular need. A "Review and Tips" section is provided at the end of individual sections for a review of important suggestions and themes. The "Review and Tips" format provides the reader with two options: either to review highlighted material and tips immediately after reading a section, or to return to it at a later date.

The book not only covers ADHD problem behaviors in great depth, but it does so in a friendly and supportive style that is easy for readers to use and understand. Rather than a textbook, the book’s style serves as a resource readers can easily use and repeatedly refer to. Parents, teachers, and caretakers of ADHD children will appreciate the sympathetic approach and expert discussion by authors who have worked extensively with ADHD children and their families in a broad range of settings: medical, clinical, and educational. Because the book deals with a childhood disorder that is widely recognized by professionals and growing in recognition among lay people, its ideas and suggestions can be a resource for parents and teachers for years to come.

The book includes a forward, introduction, table of contents, ten chapters, references, exhibits, and recommended readings for parents and children.
