Review
"Captioned photos and diagrams illustrate each book and both volumes have source notes, a list of organizations and Web sites, and a bibliography that will be useful for report writers, debaters, and parents of children diagnosed with these disfunctions."

"These books provide the kind of information that a student may need either for an assigned research project or for personal enlightment and assistance. Highly Recommended"

-- School Library Journal (September 2001) (School Library Journal )
"Factful and useful books that approach their subjects as puzzlers for which great strides have been made in the last few decades in terms of diagnosis and treatment."
