The LD Child and the ADHD Child : Ways Parents and Professionals Can Help

Since the vast majority of those with an attention deficit disorder also have most of the characteristics associated with a learning disability -- and since almost all LD individuals have difficulty with concentration -- the suggestions in this book will usually apply to adults and children in both categories.

The object of this book is to help parents raise their LD and/or ADD children so that they can grow up to be okay -- so that they will be happy, well-adjusted, and successful adults despite the learning and behavior patterns that make them different. And for the LD and ADD adults who read this book, the object is to give you control. With knowledge and understanding, it is possible to take charge of your mental processing and direct your physical energy so that differences that have long been handicaps are converted to assets.
