`A good book' Doctor

Product Description
Attention Deficit Disorder (A.D.D.) is now recognized as the most common cause of school under-achievement and behavior difficulties in schoolchildren. It affects 5-10% of children aged 5-18 years -- the same proportion as asthma. There is currently a rapid increase in the awareness of this condition among educators, child-care professionals and parents, and A.D.D. is receiving increased media attention.
In All About A.D.D. Mark Selikowitz notes changing attitudes towards the diagnosis and treatment of A.D.D. among the ranks of pediatricians. This recent focus on A.D.D. proves that there is a need for an up-to-date, comprehensive and practical guide covering the condition in a balanced and authoritative manner, and this book fills that need. It will help parents, educators and health professionals including doctors, psychologists and speech therapists understand and treat the disorder.
