    About this ebook

    A psychiatrist with expertise in ADHD offers clear information and easy to follow strategies to help your ADHD child thrive.
     
    This book is designed to help parents address their child’s Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) or Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) in 7 simple steps. Written in clear, jargon-free prose, it synthesizes scientific and clinical research in a way that makes it accessible to parents of young children and teens.
     
    Dr. Handelman begins by dispelling many of the myths that often make parents of children with ADHD feel shame or guilt. Leaving the stigma and ignorance behind, Attention Difference Disorder offers a strength-based approach to a condition that has generally been treated negatively.
     
    The 7 simple steps to succeeding with ADHD include: 1) Education about the condition, 2) Ensuring a proper diagnosis, 3) Parenting Strategies, 4) Educational Strategies, 5) Medication Treatments, 6) Alternative Treatments and 7) Treatment Integration.
