5.0 out of 5 stars Recommended by Psychologist, February 7, 2004

By	Debra Moore, Ph.D. (Sacramento, CA United States) - See all my reviews

If you buy only one book on ADD, make it this one.

It is huge, comprehensive, terrifically well organized and uniquely easy to use. Because it is presented in list form, you can turn to the topic you need and get more information in two or three pages than most books contain in a 25 page chapter that takes you much, much longer to read.

And if you are a parent of a child or teen with ADD, you simply do not have extra time. You will get what you need here and get it fast.

There are even sample forms (goals sheets, behavioral records, and charts) that are easy to copy and use.

This book will make your life easier!

By	Sharon Brill (Los Angeles) - See all my reviews

Without a doubt, this is the most comprehensive and easy-to-read book on AD/HD I have ever read. This book would be an excellent reference for any classroom with AD/HD students. The list format makes finding what you're looking for a pleasant experience. Plus, I've been able to incorporate many of the strategies presented in this book, and I'm extremely pleased with the results.

By	F Greene (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews

The text of this extensive book is easy to read, and will be an asset to any elementary teacher with ADHD students in their classroom. I like the way the lists are categorized, so it isn't necessary to read whole chapters to find out what you are looking for. It's great!
