A Bird's-Eye View of Life with ADD & ADHD (2003) was written expressly for teenagers and children by twelve teens and a young adult who are living with this challenging condition. This third edition, now entitled A Bird's-Eye View of Life with ADHD & Executive Function Deficits ...Ten Years Later provides a ten-year update on 11 teens that were featured in the original book. Today, their careers range from teacher, to a chef, bandleader, music major, artist, army reservist, assistant to a hospital ICU director, and college students. These young people offer the best kind of advice--advice based upon first-hand experience. But best of all, teens and their families are left with a sense of hope that they too will survive this sometimes, overwhelming disorder.Foreword from Dr. Tom Brown: "One of the major strengths of A Bird's-Eye View is that it shows the many differences among those with ADHD--differences in what they struggle with, in how they cope, and differences also in their impressive strengths and talents. "This new 10th anniversary edition of A Bird's Eye View adds not just more practical tips, but also a new, very important perspective, a view over time! Readers of this edition see updates on how these 11 "survivors" have grown, what they're doing now, and how much they have accomplished."In these pages Alex and his mother have provided a basis for hope, as well as a very practical and helpful reminder of how these 11, and all the rest of us, continue to be "a work in progress."
There’s lots of help out there for kids with ADHD, but getting it isn’t always easy. Where can you turn when you’ve mastered the basics and “doing everything right” isn’t enough--the insurer denies your claims, parent-teacher meetings get tense, or those motivating star charts no longer encourage good behavior? Dr. Peter Jensen has spent years generating ways to make the healthcare and education systems work--as the father of a son with ADHD and as a scientific expert and dedicated parent advocate. No one knows more about managing the complexities of the disorder and the daily hurdles it raises. Now Dr. Jensen pools his own experiences with those of over 80 other parents to help you troubleshoot the system without reinventing the wheel. From breaking through bureaucratic bottlenecks at school to advocating for your child’s healthcare needs, this straightforward, compassionate guide is exactly the resource you’ve been looking for.
Outside the Box: Rethinking ADD/ADHD in Children and Adults -- A Practical Guide identifies as-sumptions about ADD/ADHD that demand revaluation in light of recent research. Building upon a current, science-based foundation, the book describes in practical terms how ADHD can be recog-nized at various ages; how it differs from more typical brain development; how it can significantly impair those affected; and how it can safely, and in most cases effectively, be treated in children and adults. The book is based upon current scientific research but also on the experience and per-spective of the author, a clinician who has devoted more than 35 years to studying this disorder formally and countless hours to engaging with and providing treatment for a diversity of children, teenagers, and adults with ADHD and related problems. The book's audience is the wide variety of clinicians involved in assessing, treating, and/or monitoring the care of children and adults with this disorder (e.g., pediatricians, primary care physicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, and clinical social workers) and also educators, disability service providers, human resource specialists, and the adolescents and adults who seek more information about ADHD assessment and treatment for themselves or for family or friends. The book offers practical, accessible information that is grounded in the latest research: * The book is focused not primarily on details of academic arguments but on practical aspects of ADHD -- how it varies from one person to another, how it changes over the life span, how treatments need to be adjusted for different individuals, and how it sometimes gets worse and sometimes gets better. Emphasizing that ADHD is not a simple problem of failing to listen or staying focused on a task, the author examines research demonstrating that ADHD results from impairment of a complex syndrome of brain functions essential for self-management, the executive functions. * While DSM-5 is acknowledged as a valuable source of information about ADHD, this book draws upon a wider range of scientific research and perspectives not yet incorporated into DSM. * Although accessible to the general reader, the text includes citations to sources that can be used to obtain additional, more technical information. Utterly current and scientifically based, Outside the Box: Rethinking ADD/ADHD in Children and Adults -- A Practical Guide challenges old thinking and provides much-needed information and support to clinicians, educators, patients, and families. -- Provided by publisher.
