The Add & ADHD Answer Book: Professional Answers to 275 of the Top Questions Parents Ask

I have worked with children for over twenty years as well as raised three of my own. It's about time someone makes some sense on Attention Deficit Syndrome.

Arm yourself with Dr. Ashley's book before you take the next step.

Fact of the matter is, there is no cure for ADD or ADHD and this books tells you like it is, which is basically that we as parents have to get down to learning the appropriate ways to help our children and quit looking for the easy solution in a pill, a brain machine or an herbal remedy. This book has given many different ways that I can help my child and I wished I'd had it years ago.

Much of what is in this book is what we did; I picked it up and I learned a few new things. I'm careful not to loan it too often because it seems that everyone is now asking for it. And I don't want to lose it. Hands down, I would recommend this title to anyone who needs quick information about what's going on, who to see and what to do." Pat

As a mother of an ADD teen, I wish this book was published when my daughter was 5. The questions and answers are on point, and easily understood.

I will suggest this mandatory reading at my next PTA meeting.

This is one of the best books on ADD and ADHD that I have read. As a professional in the field, I will be recommending this book to the families I work with. It addresses all the questions that come up in the course of treatment. Packed with the latest research yet easy to read.
