Summary: A MUST-HAVE Resource for Parents and Educators
Review: A must-have resource for parents and educators of children with ADHD.

I have been an educator for over ten years, and have been exposed to countless books and resources about ADHD. Most of them, I have found, either bore you with excessive neuropsychological jargon, shower you with unpractical strategies, or both. I have yet to read a book about ADHD that I would recommend to parents and colleagues. Until now, that is!

I was delighted to read "100 Questions & Answers About Your Child's Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder." Dr. Nass and Dr. Leventhal have penned an informative, well-written book that is both comprehensive and concise. The format is extremely reader-friendly, and makes it possible, with a straightforward table of contents and complete index, to return to the book for a quick reference. The authors left no stone unturned in their efforts to produce a thoroughly researched, carefully presented resource that is replete with current findings and practical (yes, practical!) strategies to help children with ADHD improve their academic performance. I was particularly impressed with the "Medication and ADHD" section; Dr. Nass and Dr. Leventhal provide more than enough information to help parents make informed decisions about ADHD medications.

I HIGHLY recommend this book! My grade: 100 percent for "100 Questions and Answers About Your Child's ADHD."

Summary: Ready Reference Guide to ADHD
Review: This book is excellent. Its format is vastly different from a thick textbook. Important points are highlighted. You can surf the index and read a Q and A. You can easily skip those Q&As that are not germane to your interests.The book is fact oriented with no longwinded technical discussions.One of the co-authors is a practicing neurologist which is not the norm for authors of such books (no offense to PhDs). I consider this book the most authoritative in ADHD literature. It's my best find this year. jw
