Review

"It's all here. The questions that teachers, and parents as well, always ask are discussed in a straightforward and highly readable fashion." --The New Jersey Psychologist

"Meeting the ADD Challenge is a book that discusses attention deficit disorder and possible interventions in a way that any educator, parent, counselor, and administrator could understand. I would recommend that anyone finding themselves working with children or adults having ADD read this book. They will benefit from the insight, examples, and experiences that are included in this comprehensive and easy-to-read book." --Nona Jordan, Catalyst for Change

"The major strength of Meeting the ADD Challenge is that the choices of assessments and interventions are geared to the individual student. This is not a book with a menu of suggestions for working with all children with ADD, but rather a set of processes that the teacher should follow to determine the individual's needs and what interventions would best meet those needs." --Mark Kiselica, The School Counselor
