this is a useful workbook... work such as this would be useful for
many children who, although they do not have the ADHD label, do
experience problems with many of the areas dealt with in the
workbook.
*Nasen Special*
The topics covered demosntrate that the authors have a secure
knowledge of the problems those with ADHD experience. Chapters deal
with self-esteem, attention and concentration, keeping cool and
calm, organisation, friendships and managing homework... I think it
is also true to say that work such as this would be useful for many
children who, although without the ADHD label, do experience
problems with many of the areas dealt with in the workbook.
*Emotional and Behavioural Difficulties Journal*
The workbook is a tool that can be used to effectively develop and
deliver an individualised package of care. This is achieved through
the clever use of chapters which target key areas in the young
person's development such as self-esteem, attention, organization,
stayign calm and friendships. The authors have used an informative
and tool-based approach, which provides the user with a vast array
of tools and frameworks that assist the professional and young
person in identifying areas for development.
*British Journal of School Nursing*
Helping Kids and Teens with ADHD in School: A Workbook for
Classroom Support and Managing Transitions should be in every
educator's library: it provides chapters that focus on different
key issues affecting children with ADHD around the time of school
transition from organization to friendships, and it provides tested
strategies and tips in a photocopiable workbook format designed to
help adults work collaboratively with youngsters. A 'must' for any
serious educator's library.
*The Midwest Book Review*
Highly recommended for anyone working with ADHD kids.
