About this title

Synopsis

'This is a brilliant book, which can be used with individual children or with groups as part of a social skills or self-awareness programme. Highly recommended for use by professionals and parents who want to help the child raise their self-esteem and confidence and fulfil their own potential enabling them to grow into confident and successful adults.'

Caroline Hensby, www.adders.org


'I just wanted to let you know that your book is the best book I have EVER read about ADHD. It explains it clearly and succinctly. I have read at least twenty different books by different authorities on ADHD...I have surfed the net for nine years and gathered bucket loads of information. But I have never seen all the information you need in one book until I read yours.'
Sue Z, Parent



'I have been using your book with an ADHD boy and his self-esteem has just rocketed. He feels so much better about himself. I love the style of the book, the way it actually talks to him.'

The original edition was winner of the Books for Learning and Teaching Award 2002, presented by the Educational Publishers Council (EPC) and the National Association for Special Educational Needs (NASEN) with support from The Times Educational Supplement.
A collection of practical suggestions and photocopiable materials to use with pupils who have ADHD or demonstrate ADHD-type behaviour. This book is meant to demystify ADHD and to enable all those who use it to understand a little bit more about this complex personality type. The first edition focused on work to do with the individual child to help the child get to know their own personality and mind and, in doing so, become more able to control their own feelings, thoughts and actions. This second edition is enhanced by a brand new chapter on the theory, medication and alternative therapies for ADHD, useful for anyone wanting to know more about the condition; and by another on what the teacher can do, including case studies, an Individual Education Plan (IEP) writing guide and reflective questions for the teacher about the child and teaching strategies.
