This book is not for everyone. Anyone with a child with ADHD or a teacher working with kids with ADHD should read this. It was so helpful to learn the needs, skills, tests, process and have case examples. I learned a lot and sharped my thinking about my child. It reads like a textbook, but had so much information. It covers kids from elementary to high school.

One of the most helpful guides for teachers who aren’t specifically trained in learning differences that I’ve found in my 20 years. I found myself thinking a lot about interactions with students, parents, and administrators over the years. This has advice and suggestions that I will put into play, and it focuses on teamwork. Whereas other books I felt like it was structured to make the parents adversaries of the teachers.

this book was a little bit repetitive. i read it for an educational theory and practice class to get my teaching certification.

a lot of the information was not relevant to me as i'm looking at it purely from an educator's perspective, but is relevant to parents of children with ADHD.

This was OK. It's pretty thorough, and probably would be great for a new teacher, but not for a veteran.

Comprehensive information for parents and teachers of students with ADHD. Would be great for a new teacher, a lot of this was review for me though.
