All About Attention Deficit Disorder should be given out in doctor's offices along with the diagnosis! It's an excellent and easy to read resource for parents, teachers, and caregivers of any child who has ADD/ADHD characteristics. This book also includes fantastic information for adults who maybe didn't have the "label" as a child but can recognize the symptoms in themselves or a parent who can see the symptoms in themselves now that their child has a label. I am a special education teacher, not a medical doctor, so I am not allowed to give out any medical or medication advice to parents in school based meetings. This is the information I would share at those meetings if I could. The straightforward information in clear to understand language with a sense of humor to go with it is a must read! I also highly recommend adding 1,2,3 Magic to your cart. It's the behavioral "instructional" manual that all children should have tied to their ankle when they come out of the womb. It's an especially helpful read with ADHD and other special needs children with a mental age of at least 2 years but it's a system that works with children of all ages.
Great First Step

This book isn't meant to replace a visit to your family physician, but to educate and inform parents so they can make the right decision. If your child has been diagnosed with ADD, this book will help you get a better handle on the disorder, help you understand what your child is going through, and help you help your doctor properly treat your child. If you suspect your child has ADD, but aren't ready to take your child to the doctor, this is a good first-step. Get All About Attention Deficit Disorder, read it, and if you feel your child meets the criteria for ADD, contact your family physician for an appointment.
A major contribution to ADD studies, discussions, and plans.

My husband and I both found Dr. Phelan's book to be a thorough discussion of ADD/ADHD from diagnosis to treatment. Dr. Phelan writes in simple English without complicated medical terms and with a sense of humor. This book is easily read in a short time.
