Review
This book is written specifically for teenagers with ADHD. Most teens with ADHD are not going to have the patience to read through a long textbook. This book is different. I have attempted to make this book as easy as possible to read. It is organized in a question and answer format. Instead of having to "read the entire book, you can just skip to the chapters and" questions that interest you. Many useful suggestions for coping with ADHD are included. --Book Description
From the Author
This book is proving to be a very useful resource for teens, teachers, and parents. I believe that the more you know about ADHD, the easier it will be to cope with the disorder. Many teenagers resist being treated for ADHD (and other disorders) because they do not understand what the disorder is and why medication and/or counseling may be helpful. Chapters on learning disabilities are included because these conditions are often seen in teenagers with ADHD.
The book is also available on audiotape. Excerpts are read by two teenagers.

Excellent---easy to read and understand,
By A Customer
This review is from: ADHD: A Teenager's Guide (Paperback)
I could have cried as I read the book---there in print was a perfect description of my child and the problems he's having in school. Every educator should be REQUIRED to read this text.
