Customer Reviews

Very pleased with product and service :-)

The book arrived quickly and has the information I needed explained in vocabulary I am able to easily comprehend.

Fantastic Source for Parents and Teachers of ADHD

this guide was recommended by my child's psychologist as a tool to deal with ADHD and executive function deficit. It has been tremendously helpful. As a matter of fact I got his school's psychologist and Special Ed Coordinator to purchase copies for all teachers.

Executive Skills

It is very difficult to find information on Exective Skills which is easy enough for the average reader. This book is such a book - not a textbook and designed for school personnel in addition to parents. It is not extremely clinical which makes it easy to follow.

Had to have it

I perused this book through interlibrary loan and had to have my own copy. Executive skills are reviewed and handy, handy procedures are given along with various forms intended to help the student, teacher, and parent stay organized and in tune with the student's performance. My copy is currently in my classroom and I intend to use it. This book is appropriate for any student, not just those with attention or organization difficulties.

Valuable Information for teaching Organizational Skills

This book gives detailed information that could help students develop "self-talk" cues to remain focused with homework assignments, daily organizational task and long term projects. The term Executive Function works. The forms at the end of the book are helpfull and can be rearranged for individual student use. A good overview of what can help students who have "ADD" or "ADHD".
