Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder by Geoff Kewley

This new edition has been redesigned to be more user-friendly. This book provides a practical guide to the process of dealing more effectively with ADHD, from initial recognition to effective management strategies via assessment and diagnosis. ADHD causes a wide range of difficulties often leading to school failure, expulsion and emotional, behavioral and social problems. The book will help teachers, parents, doctors and other professionals to understand ADHD and work together effectively to manage it, thereby offering the child a more positive future. The author gives an overview of the condition based on the broad internationally recognized approach to ADHD, which takes account of its biological as well as environmental elements. Case studies describe individuals who behave in different ways and sound, practical strategies are offered to both teachers and parents.

"The author emphaises the need to recognise the needs and differences in each child and to adopt a holistic approach to support; I wholeheartedly agreeI found the book very easy to read and anticipate it will now be a most useful reference that I will dip into regularly." Jill McMinn, Advisory Teacher Speech and Language Impairment, Wrexham CBC "Geoff Kewley presents a whistle-stop tour of ADHD; he outlines classroom strategies and other interventions and sends a salutary warning to society in general of the consequences of failing to diagnose and treat this 'hidden disability'" Wendly Fidler, British Journal of Special Education, Vol. 33., No 3., September 2006
