Summary: A "must have" for career counseling!
Review: As a career counselor, I applaud Dr. Nadeau for giving us a clear, easy to read handbook for understanding how workplace issues are affected by ADD. Dr. Nadeau uses a conversational voice to put into perspective those important details that comprise a good match between a job and the job seeker. She first gives us a complete overview of the relevant issues, and then supplies us with such specifics as "taking charge of your ADD: social skills; an ADD-friendly work environment, and the current legalities of ADD and the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is a complete handbook, and one I advise my clients to use!

Summary: Interesting but of limited application to most adults
Review: I found this book interesting but it came up short in application to a wide population of people who have not been in therapy. A lot of the content seems to relate to the author's own experience (and she claims to have ADD herself) and does not cover a broad research-based area or cover the issues in depth.

Summary: ADD in the Workplace ADDS a lot of info for people with ADD
Review: In the Annotated Bibliography of "Learning A Living" A Guide to Planning Your Career and Finding a Job for People with Learning Disabilities, Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia, I wrote:A comprehensive book, explaining the positives and negatives of ADD in the workplace. The book is written for people who are already working and does not include job hunting informaiton. Personal coping skills and accommodations for employers are described. The book covers possibilities for self-employment, telecommuting, an other ways of "customizing" your own job. Two combinations are covered in separate chapters: women with ADD and people with ADD who also have learning disabilities." I would like to add a few other points: 1. The book is beautifully laid out in an "ADD-friendly" manner that makes it easy to read. 2. The author speaks in a respectful tone to the reader. 3. She is very positive about ADD. If you have ADD, this book will add to your repertoire of skills in handling work issues.

Summary: VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR ANYONE WHO HAS ADD
Review: Kathleen Nadeau's book ADD IN THE WORKPLACE addresses those issues and problems which arise at work. It gives reliable information, and good suggestions. It not only helps the ADD adult understand and improve his or her work experiences but also gives them a better understanding of ADD and its effects on their lives. It is an easy to read, 'user friendly' book which I recommend to all my adult and college aged clients who are either in the workplace or wanting to get there. Thanks Kathleen for writing a great book!
