Synopsis

Tigers, Too is the long awaited second book by the authors Marilyn P. Dornbush, Ph.D. and Sheryl K. Pruitt, M.Ed., ET/P. Their first book, Teaching the Tiger, which sold greater than forty thousand copies in the United States, was also translated into several languages including Japanese, Spanish, Icelandic, and Norwegian. There last book was a groundbreaking book about what to do when you have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD), Tourette syndrome (TS), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder(OCD). This new book, Tigers, Too, has additional Tigers to manage, Executive Dysfunction, Processing Speed Disorder, and memory deficits. Like the first book, this book is a practical, how-to reference guide that can be opened to a specific problem that a teacher, healthcare professional, or parent has a question about and there they can find simple, clear strategies that work. This book will be an important resource for those who are struggling to work with children, adolescents and young adults with ADHD, TS, and OCD that also have the associated disorders of Executive Dysfunction, Processing Speed Disorder and memory deficits.
Upon reading the manuscript, Richard Lavoie said:
This book belongs on every parent s bookshelf and in every teacher s lounge. The information contained in these pages will make a tremendous impact on your child...and you.
