9781571290373: Rethinking Attention Deficit Disorders

Synopsis

A book for teachers, parents, and practitioners views attention deficit disorders (ADDs) from a systems perspective that sees attention as a complex, self-organizing system that is nonlinear and recursive in its functioning, and ADDs as cognitive disorders based in neurological function that affect all forms of thought. The authors describe methods of intervention that complement the individual's own efforts at self-regulation, and offer practical suggestions for supporting the ADD child in school.
