Teaching Teens With Add and Adhd: A Quick Reference Guide for Teachers and Parentsby Chris A. Zeigler Dendy

29 of 29 people found the following review helpful: Written for teachers, but also great for parents, November 15, 2001 Reviewer:Carol Watkins "Psychiatrist" (Baltimore, MD United States) - This book is full of practical--real world tested--solutions for the school difficulties of adolescents with AD/HD. Ms. Ziegler Dendy has formatted the book so that it is clear, and accesible. The book is organized into sections so that a busy teacher or parent does not have to pour over the whole book in order to deal with a specific problem. You can immediately tell what chapter and which page will deal with each specific educational challenge. When she makes suggestions, she generally includes information on specific materials, such as organizers, notecards, that might be necessary to set up a particular strategy. I liked her section on written expression. She covers essays and even the production of poetry. I have recommended many of the techniques she covers. Her section on medication is better than what I see in many books about AD/HD. She highlights the importance of understanding how long a given medication actually lasts. Often students are blamed for irritable behavior that occurs during periods when the medication has actually worn off. I would recommend this book to both parents and educators. Although it is written for teens, it might also be helpful individuals dealing with some older elementary school students.
