2.0 out of 5 stars
it was published in 1993!,
This review is from: Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disabilities: Reality, Myths, and Controversial Treatments (Paperback)
This might've been a very helpful book 12 years ago, but a lot has happened since. Heaps of researches have made their debuts since then that seriously outdates this book... by 12 years.
For example, the author's list of ADD symptoms only covers the hyperactivity element and neglects the symptoms of a child with inattentive type ADD (without hyperactivity). An inattentive type wouldn't necessarily have a hard time sitting down. Contrary to many of the items on the list, a child with inattentive type ADD would more likely be day-dreaming (similar to being hyperactive in one's own mind.. as I'd like to think of it). Try to stay away from this one.. (unless if you're writing a paper or something and need to comepare differences/similarities between what we USED think and what we know/think NOW.)

This book put things in perspective for me.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disabilities: Reality, Myths, and Controversial Treatments (Paperback)
I was so confused when my child was first diagnosed with Learning Disorders. This book helped me to break things down and understand the components of my child's disorders. It is an excellent guide to understanding Learning Disorders and how to reach out for additional assistance - suggestions and ideas.

Excellent guide to understanding ADD/Learning Disabilities,
By StoneTE@worldnet.att.net (Kenai, Alaska) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Attention Deficit Disorder and Learning Disabilities: Reality, Myths, and Controversial Treatments (Paperback)
This is an easy-to-understand book on all aspects of understanding, diagnosing and treating those with ADD and other learning disabilities. I am going to order three copies of this book to pass out to our local schools with instructions that all teachers read it. If our teachers knew more about these disorders I'm sure my son would have received help BEFORE he was 16 years old and my questions to them would not have been so easily dismissed.
