This review is from: AD/HD & Driving: A Guide for Parents of Teens with AD/HD (Paperback)

This hard to find book is a Gem! It was published by a small publisher with grants from Eli Lilly and State Farm Insurance...CHADD backed up the effort. There is lots and lots of very useful information.

The chapters include: An Overview of Teen Driving Statistics and Research on Teen Drivers with AD/HD, Behavioral Characteristics and Coexisting Disorders, General Tips for Parenting Teens with Difficult Behaviors, 20 Steps for Parents to promote Safe Driving Behaviors in Teens with AD/HD, Handling Poor Driving Behaviors. The chapter on 20 steps for parents is awesome. Examples of other useful information include: A Driving Observation Form, A Learner's Permit Driving Contract, A Comprehensive Vehicle Safety Checklist, A Driving Skills Checklist, A Driver's License Contract. The book also addresses subjects such as reasonable parent expectations, drug and alcohol use, and characteristics associated with learning disabilities.

The information on medications is outdated. I suspect the medication information is why the book is no longer in print. Every seller who makes this book available is giving you and your ADD/ADHD teen a gift :)

As a Driver Rehab Specialist, I used this book a lot, especially when completing a family instruct with parents. The information provided was useful for professional and non-professional users. The contract idea is something that I used frequently.
