This review is from: Hyperactivity/Adhd . . . New Solutions (Paperback)

Being a person with ADD and having three children with the disorder, to one degree or another, this book is the most valuable source I have seen thus far. Our family has implemented the strategies in this book and the results have been astonishing, much better, and less dangerous, than the commonly used stimulant medications. For anybody that is interested I can be contacted at [e-mail].
