Summary: A Godsend!
Comment: I bought this book out of total desperation, and I laughed and cried my entire way through it. Dr. Silver explains what we have been living, and it is understandable, readable, and right on the money. There is no hocus-pocus, junk, or controversial ideas in this book, it is the right stuff to get you help for your child. If you can't get Dr. Silver in person, then this book is a good substitute. Through this book, I also discovered that I have had ADHD all of my life, and it was never diagnosed. It was like a lightbulb went on. When you finish this book, there will be no question if ADHD is the problem. Through this book, I am now working on getting help for my son and for myself. Thank You, Dr. Silver!

Summary: A good overview
Comment: As a mother whose child has just been diagnosed with learning disabilities and ADHD, I found this book very helpful. It provided a thorough overview of how these conditions are evaluated and treated, and valuable advice for getting assistance for your child from his/her school. I also appreciated the author's obvious compassion for children who are having difficulties in school, and his insistence that the child's emotional issues (either caused by, or causing, the symptoms of ADHD) not be overlooked. Finally, unlike a lot of books about ADHD and learning disabilities, this book was mostly substantive information with very little fluff and filler. I would recommend this book to any parent in my situation.

Rating: 3
Summary: Should be subtitled "Kids with ADHD"
Comment: I can see how this book could be very helpful to parents
of kids with ADHD. The sections on advocating for your
child are also bound to be useful to many parents. But
this book isn't much help to parents of non-ADHD kids.
