This book is a wonderful resource for parents, students and educators wanting to learn more about hidden disabilities. Each of my three children was mislabeled as having ADHD. As I discovered by doing my own research, not one of my children had ADHD. Along with sharing my children's personal history, my book provides additional insight from my experience as an educator working with students having various disabilities, some having ADHD and others with a different disorder. In addition to offering information about the proper procedures in determining a disability, my book provides information about individual educational plans, descriptions of successful adaptations to use with ALL students, an educator's guide for improving classroom climate and a hand-out for college students requesting accommodations.

A game-changing resource for parents caught in the labyrinth of the promoted treatments heralding help for troubled children and their families, this book provides readers invaluable guidance in seeking accurate diagnosis and scientifically verified treatment options. Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) in children is real and can be severely disabling. However, most causes of children's attention problems are unrelated to ADHD and are not resolvable by drugging the child. Treating symptoms is simply not adequate; a completely different approach to the diagnoses and treatment of attention problems in children is necessary. This book identifies the many neurological patterns associated with children's attention challenges, explains the many psychological and physical factors that can affect attention, and describes how to determine if your child needs not medication but other approaches—such as psychological guidance, diet changes, or simply time to develop past childhood—to solve the problem. Paul G. Swingle, PhD, RPsych, provides millions of parents who are desperate for scientifically sound information about how to help their children with conditions that are negatively impacting their learning, development, and happiness with a resource that is precise, definitive, and easy to read. Illustrated with examples from across his 30 years of practice, Swingle's book informs readers about the many factors that can affect children's attention and can often be treated with drugless approaches and therapy for success. Parents will understand how intolerance of what constitutes normal children's behavior and the failure to recognize the emotional challenges that many children have in our culture today constitute causative factors in the misdiagnosis of attention deficit disorders.

People who love or work with someone with ADD often feel conflicted: they want to help, but they don’t want to enable. They value the person’s creativity, but they are exhausted. Stephen Arterburn and Timothy Smith address ten myths about ADD, the pros and cons of medication, foods that help to minimize ADD, twelve strengths of people with ADD, new studies on how to calm the mind, showing empathy even when it’s hard, and more. This fresh look at ADD—not as a malady but as a unique way of thinking—shows readers that ADD doesn’t have to ruin their relationships. In fact, it can make them stronger.

From the author of the highly successful Maybe You Know My Kid comes a desperately needed follow-up–the first comprehensive guide for dealing with the unique challenges of raising an adolescent with ADHD. Adolescence is a tumultuous turning point for everyone, but for teens with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, it can be especially challenging, and for some of their parents, downright terrifying. Predictably, stress ensues over inconsistent or poor school performance and over inevitable decisions regarding higher education and life after high school. Adolescents with ADHD get more traffic tickets, have higher school-expulsion and drop-out rates, and are more likely to experiment with alcohol and drugs. Maybe You Know My Teen brims with management strategies for parents new to ADHD as well as those who have coped with it throughout their child’s life. Explaining the roots of the disorder clearly and extensively, while discussing situations most likely to cause symptoms to manifest themselves, ADHD authority Mary Fowler presents step-by-step advice, along with in-depth personal stories and first-person advice from leading experts in the field. This is the one-of-a-kind lifesaver thousands have been awaiting.

Developed by four professors who also happen to be ADHD experts, this interactive and customizable workbook provides coaching to students with ADHD to make skills like managing time, motivating and organizing oneself, and "adulting" a workable part of everyday college life. Other books for college students with ADHD only describe personal experiences or just give advice, but this workbook promotes learning through interactive exercises and behavioral practice. It will allow you to address issues most relevant to your needs at whatever pace feels right. Modules are designed to be engaging, digestible, and activity-oriented. With practice, you will come away with improved skills that will help you to succeed in college, and to live your best life. This workbook can be used on its own; however, an accompanying Thriving in College guide for therapists uses an approach that mirrors what you will be learning and doing. If you have this workbook and are getting support from a therapist, encourage them to use the therapist guide along with you! Parents can also benefit from information in this workbook, to help their college students along the way and to understand ADHD and how it impacts the college years.
