Summary: Hope and a New Therapy for A.D.D.
Comment: This is the first book I have read to offer me hope that my child might be healed from his ADD symptoms. Rather than focus on the reasons for the syndrome, this book takes a "what do we do about it now" approach. I particularly found the chapter on Neurofeedback a godsend. With Neurofeedback, a brain scan is taken during the initial diagnosis. This scan reveals to the practitioner whether they are dealing with ADD or something more complex like ADD with depression or a predisposition to addictive behaviours. Then a program is designed for the child where they play computer games which are designed to correct their malfunctioning brain waves. These games are fun. Your child may make a fish go through a maze or play basketball; however these games are played utilizing brain waves only. Brains are literally retrained to stimulate those portions which have operated in a deficit previously. I call this therapy simple truth. Neurofeedback has also been called bloodless brain surgery because the positive changes are permanent. Many ADD children are very bright but their IQs suffer as well as their self-esteem when they are untreated. Neurofeedback seems to increase IQ once again. My son is very excited about his upcoming treatments in March. Firstly he gets to play cool computer games, he'll learn how to hyperfocus and his IQ will probably return to where it began. As he said to me recently,"Mom were you going to wait until I had Homer Simpson's IQ before you sent me for Neurofeedback?" All I could answer was "Darling I'm sorry, I didn't know it existed." Thankyou William Sears and Linda Thompson for writing this book. I would encourage those parents, teachers and physicians who want to change lives to buy this book. Neurofeedback has been available for years but it is relatively unheard of in Canada.

Summary: Neurotherapy works
Comment: I didn't find this book until my son was a junior in high school. He was not a behavior problem and his IQ was above average but he just had trouble with listening and focusing. He was nearly failing all his classes at the time and was very upset because he truly wanted to do well. I reviewed the neurotherapy section of the book and decided to give it a try. He did the sessions over the summer and it made all the difference in school. He had good grades his senior year and now has a full academic scholarship in college. He is happy and proud of himself. This book helped me understand him better and gave me options. This book helped me help him. I highly recommend it.

Summary: The A.D.D Book--AWESOME!!
Comment: This book is the best book I have read about ADD/ADHD. I have purchased several books, and checked many out from the library. Each book seems to be "missing something". Well, this book covers it ALL! It contains information on what ADD is and what it isn't, strategies for improving behavior, how to deal with certain situations ie: telling lies, breaking things, etc. Also, there's information on "setting up for school success", neurofeedback, medication, diet and "understanding ADD laws". This book has information on these subjects, plus everything in-between! It's a very well written book that's easy to understand and is hard to put down! This book is interesting from page 1 through page 293! I recommend this book to anyone who has/knows a child with ADD/ADHD!!
