Authors Forgan (Florida Atlantic U.) and Richey, a school psychologist in Palm Beach County, both have sons with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADD/ADHD). In this guide, they advise parents to create a network of support among friends, families, and professionals, and to celebrate and cultivate their sons' unique abilities and talents. Featuring easy-to-read checklists, bullet points, and charts, the guide is organized chronologically from infancy and preschool through the transition from high school to college or work, with advice on diagnosis, dealing with teachers and schools, and disability laws. The guide also offers tips on explaining ADHD to children and recommends books for parents and sons. The authors review standard medication and non-standard treatment options such as diet, biofeedback, allergy testing, memory training, and counseling. The book includes worksheets for an action plan.
