From the Publisher
A Review:

"This Quick Reference Guide for Teachers and Parents is one of the most useful books ever published to help you to help your teenager who has ADD or ADHD. The book's many facts and creative ideas are presented in an easy to read format and Ms. Zeigler writes directly and succinctly. The book also contains numerous diagrams and tables.

The main portion of this 352 page book consists of 75 different short chapters, each called a 'Summary.' These summaries range from a description of the neurological basis of ADD (attention deficit disorder) and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) to accommodations and strategies for helping your teen. The first section of these summaries covers the basic information needed to understand ADD and ADHD. Other sections include academic and learning issues, organizational skills, pertinent federal laws, useful medication, and classroom management.

There are summary tables that compare the behavior of ADD and ADHD students to other students. There is also a summary of the differing tendencies in behavior of boys and girls. In addition, Ms. Zeigler devotes a large portion of the book to teaching strategies in learning mathematics, improving memory, preparing written assignments, and combating disorganization.

The 75 summaries are followed by two appendices:

One contains a set of forms that can be used to improve studying, outlining essays, planning weekly projects, and similar tools. The second appendix helps the parent or teacher with such tasks as developing IEP's or assessing student behaviors.

This is the ideal book to read cover to cover, or for a busy parent or an overworked teacher to use as a bedside reference to help their teenager make the best use of his talents. If you want to help your teenager lead the fulfilling life he deserves, buy and use this book." --Jon Meyerson, LCSW-C, family therapist, writing in the newsletter of the Learning Disabilities Association of Montgomery County, Maryland

 

I'm 59 years old and have recently been diagnosed with ADD. I'm going back to college and requesting Section 504 accommodations. This book is so helpful. It has so much information and just plain great advice. Any one who has ADD and wants to know more about how they learn and what can help them learn more easily will benefit from this book.

5 out of 5 stars Book arranged very helpfully, December 6, 2002

  Reviewer: A reader from southern Indiana

The author arranges content in a fashion that makes it quick/easy to find what you are looking for. Often we who deal with ADD teens are looking for material because the latest crisis has us pulling out our hair. This book is arranged so you can quickly find your dilemma addressed clearly. The book is reassuring to parents and teachers as one immediately recognized one's child described in detail. We are not the only one and it will be ok!! High school is NOT the way the rest of the work world operates, they WILL find their niche in life. The best part is the strategy page that accompanies each area of difficulty i.e., strategies for dealing with forgetfulness, for their total lack of time sense (tardy, poor long term planning, etc). The second best part is the section on neurotransmitters, MRI scan results and genes linked to ADD. In other words, ADD is real and our children are not lazy or character flawed. They are trying to cope as best they can but have one hand tied behind their back. The book helps us help them, and teach them to help themselves.

I am mental health counselor who specializes in treating children and adults with learning and attentional differences. In short, I find this book excellent. In fact, I would say for practical advise for teachers and parents to help children with attentional disabilities be successful, it is the best book I have seen. In addition, it is well organized and easy to find specific strategies to help with any difficulty. You will not regret adding it to you library.
