This book is out of print. Being a teenager is tough enough—being a teenager with ADD can sometimes seem impossible! These students may suddenly find that their work at school is getting harder and the teachers more demanding. Even students who were diagnosed with ADD when they were younger may suddenly find themselves overwhelmed as they enter middle or high school. Adolescents and ADD is written for students diagnosed with ADD and their parents to better adjust to the new challenges facing them as they enter middle or high school. This practical book is filled with valuable advice from doctors and, most importantly, other students with ADD who have experienced the same fears, successes, and disappointments as the student just entering his or her teenage years.
"[The author] never loses sight of her audience. She defines ADD, explains diagnostic criteria, and discusses treatments in straightforward prose that is never patronizing. She uses a question-and-answer format throughout much of the book, anticipating virtually any questions readers might have."
She is also the editor of ADD and the College Student: A Guide for High School and College Students with Attention Deficit Disorder; co-author of Putting on the Brakes: Young People's Guide to Understanding Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder and The "Putting on the Brakes" Activity Book for Young People with ADHD; and co-editor of BRAKES: The Interactive Newsletter for Kids with ADD. |
