Editorial Reviews

Review

This is a marvelously written, easily read and richly informative book on understanding and managing the executive, organization, attention, and other deficits associated with ADHD/ADD in children and adolescents. The information provided here is refreshingly science-based and remarkably useful instead of just being recycled or wholly invented clinical folklore. The author has not only worked with legions of families having ADHD children, but has lived with the disorder in her own family as well and so knows well of what she preaches in these pages. Both parents and teachers will find here numerous recommendations for addressing the home and school problems often associated with this disorder. In short, if you have a child with ADHD, you need to read this book. --Russell A. Barkley, Ph.D.
Clinical Professor of Psychiatry, Medical University of South Carolina
Author of Taking Charge of ADHD

After reading Teaching Teens, you'll be empowered to create a climate in which your student can do well. This book should be in the backpack of every parent and teacher who is involved with children, teens, or young adults with ADHD. --ADDitude Magazine, Summer 2011

    LOVE THIS! No parent or teacher should be without this awesome reference! Extremely easy to reading, and has short sections with lots of bullet points. It has key elements, tips, lists, examples, and plenty of references to other websites and books for additional information. There are plenty of ideas and plans which the book openly points out the pros and cons for. There are charts and strategies parents and teachers can can use to find better solutions, as well as simplistic checklists, forms, and contracts parents can use at home. Any parent or teacher, who is at a loss on what to do to help their child (with or without ADD/ADHD issues), will have enough resources to walk into any meeting or conference with something new to suggest or try.

    I am only half way through reading this book and it has helped me immensely. The iceberg diagram helped my ADD child and me prepare for a 504 meeting at the school. It helped us come up with all of the problems she is experiencing with ADD and Executive Function Deficits so that we could point to the diagram and show how they all are related. Also the description of accommodations that can be made by the teachers is amazing. I am ordering extra copies of the book to give to the teachers so I can say to them, "Here is a book I think you need to read so you can provide the accommodations my daughter deserves."

    4.0 out of 5 stars If you have ADHD you will find all the cross references a pain
    Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    I have a teen with ADHD, and I also have ADHD. The book had some very useful information, BUT, also did a lot of cross referencing to other sections of the book - I would start to read one section, and by the time I finished reading, I might have looked at 5 or 6 sections, and not finished any of them. Once you get used to that, it is a good book. There are also several other ones that are just as useful as well. You do not need to buy the Parent version and the Teacher version of this book - I have both, and they have a lot of the same information in both. The parent version had a section on dealing with driving, curfews, etc. and theTeacher one has more on techniques for the classroom.

    This book is written by a teacher, and a mother, and she has combined her strengths and knowledge to write these informative, precise and useful "one-pagers" or "two-pagers" on a specific aspect of working with a student with executive functioning deficits. The short summaries are great to give to a principal or administrator to explain what the disorder is. Her advice is very practical, and she finds lots of ways of working within the general education environment to help these kids.

    The reason I didn’t give this book 5 stars was because of the huge medication push on almost every single page. Other than that, the book is absolutely amazing and really explains how these kiddos brains work and why they have the struggles they do. It then gives ideas on how to help address these issues.

    5.0 out of 5 stars great resource
    Reviewed in Canada on September 27, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    As a mom of a soon to be teen with ADHD, as well as wide spread family history of ADD/ ADHD, I find this a very clear and practically useful book. In the early grades and younger years, we were mainly managing his hyperactivity and impulsiveness and we had developed quite a few strategies that worked fairly well. However, we've found that grade 5 seems to be the beginning of a lot more homework, academic expectations, and general level of independence that are in the realm of executive function. This book outlines lots of specific struggles or issues that may be faced at this point as well as numerous explanations and strategies on how to address them. I was looking for something that, as a mother, might show me where the line is for helping my child with ADHD so I do not coddle him, but at the same time know what realistic deficits are and accommodations that are reasonable. I also realize that teachers have a lot on their plates with a whole class of students and may not be familiar with the specific struggles or types of help an ADD student may need. I want to be able to have solid research behind me to make suggestions for strategies without them thinking I'm just a parent making excuses for a lazy disorganized, fooling around kid in their class.
