Summary: This book is a must for all educators!
Comment: This book offers practical exercises that will change the way
educators look at ADD as well as how they work with their
students. The suggestions and exercises in the book were helpful, not
only to my ADD students but to all my students. It offers a healing
peaceful way to relate to and assist students in the classroom. Wish I
had read it years ago. The class met each new exercise with a real
sense of adventure and discovery, taking the the exercises home to
share with their parents. Soon parents were involved and asking
questions. It was wonderful! ...

Summary: An extraordinary view of NLP applied to ADHD
Comment: This remarkable book not only offers one of the most cogent insights into ADHD (see the earlier long review a few back), and does address "attention" at length (in fact, it's all about how we attend, and to what, and in what ways), but it's also one of the best introductions to the use of NLP as a way of healing from the damage of growing up a Hunter in a Farmer's world.
Filled with practical, real-world exercises and techniques, Healing ADD (this is the first book with that title) really is about healing - coming to terms with what ADHD means in this world, learning new ways to function and position yourself in the world, and recovering from the traumas that virtually every person with ADHD who was subjected to public school carries.
This is a powerful book, with specific tools and techniques, an extensive discussion of how the ADHD attentional mechanism is different and unique for ADHD people, and one of the best introductions to NeuroLinguistic Programming (NLP) available, ADHD-context or not. Highly recommended, whether you've read the author's other books or not!

Summary: Thought provoking
Comment: I agree with most of the other reviewers here. It is a thought provoking book which turns most of what we think we understand about ADD on its head. I highly recommend reading both this book and 'ADD:A Different Perception' to give a much more balanced view of what ADD is (and is not). People looking for rules, charts, discipline and restrictions will not find them here. Instead we have a wholistic approach to mending the damage done to ourselves and our kids by a school system and society that wants to produce a whole lot of round pegs for all the round holes out there and who don't approve of people who are different. Here we can rediscover the joy of having an intelligent, happy, affectionate and energetic child without the damaging labels applied by others. Great book!
