The Survival Guide for Kids with ADHD is one of a kind. As a Child and Family Therapist, I use it frequently. It’s hard to find resources that speak the language of both kids and parents, but this one does it great.
I first bought The Survival Guide for Kids with ADHD for my own son, then I used it in my School Counseling practice. I have had students do the questionnaire in the book, and have gone through parts of the book relevant to the particular student with whom I am working. It is a book that is currently front and center in my “borrow a book” display in my office.
