Teenagers with ADD and ADHD: A guide for parents and professionals

The newly updated and expanded guide to raising a teenager with an attention deficit disorder is more comprehensive than ever. Thousands more parents can rely on Dendy's compassionately presented expertise based on the latest research and her more than 40 years of experience as a parent, teacher, school psychologist, and mental health counselor. Her book looks at key areas that make adolescence -- an already challenging time of life ? potentially more difficult for kids with ADD or ADHD: academics, dating, driving, socializing, and greater independence. TEENAGERS WITH ADD and ADHD give parents insight on everything from understanding the diagnosis to treatment options, and from behavioral and academic issues, to parent involvement and self-advocacy.
