Beskrivning

This practical guide gives you useful advice on: recognising ADHD and monitoring the medication; understanding the significance and implications of ADHD; successfully supporting children with ADHD; developing effective management strategies; and maximising the positive elements of ADHD. ADHD is too often seen only as a disability; however this book demonstrates the importance of recognising and developing the abilities of all children with ADHD. Each chapter ends with a quiz so you can test your knowledge. The book also contains case studies for you to reflect on and learn from.
