Learning To Slow Down & Pay Attention: A Book for Kids About Adhd 16 reviews
Kathleen G. Nadeau, Ellen B. Dixon, ...
Magination Press, 2004
Not just for ADHD - for ANY kid with focusing and organizational issues
My 10 yo has mild autism, and he has major organizational and focusing issues. This book explains in very clear terms the challenges that face some kids, and steps that can be taken to minimize those challenges.
I love the checklist in part 1, because it highlighted some things even for me that I didn't realize my son needed help with. It helped give my son the language to discuss exactly ...

The Gift of Dyslexia82 reviews
Ronald D. Davis, Eldon M. Braun
Perigee Trade, 1997
This Book Was God's Gift to Us...!
My now 12 yo son was discovered to have dyslexia, just 2 years ago (after years of frustration in trying numerous "how to read" approaches, to no avail). He was homeschooled from the beginning, and though I'd successfully taught his older siblings to read, this kid stumped me... every attempt to teach him (no matter what methodology was used), resulted in both of us dissolving into tears of ...

Excellent resource to help children/early teens
My daughter has Tourette's, which has both an OCD component and an anxiety/worry component to the disorder (as well as other aspects). We first purchased from this author the book on Worry and used it during her sessions aloud with her psychologist. It was WONDERFUL and really helped her UNDERSTAND the worry bully, which is so important once kids reach an age of concrete understanding. But ...

Excellent Resource for the LD
I am a preservice teacher and am studying special education. I saw this book on Amazon and was intrigued by the low price. I was so surprised when I received it. It is a wonderful resource for anyone who works with students with LD. It covers the whole gambit from identification, to characteristics, to strategies. It really is a complete handbook and for the price you can't find a better ...

Edward Bloor
Harcourt Paperbacks, 2006
Excellent book - especially for middle school boys
I'm a 46 year-old Mom and I bought this book because of the great reviews, but I didn't know which son to give it to. My 4th grader falls into the age-range mentioned here at amazon, but based on the plot synopses here I felt it was more a book my 7th grader would like.
So I read it myself first. I LOVED it. What a great, moving, inspiring, different book. As stay-with-you as Hoot, or ...

Cory Stories: A Kid's Book About Living With Adhd7 reviews
Jeanne Kraus
Magination Press, 2004
Cory is easy to identify with...
My 8-year-old son who has ADD (without hyperactivity) latched onto this book immediately upon the first reading and has wanted me to re-read it to him several times. I believe he sees a real connection between things in his own life and things in 'Cory's' life in the book. Cory is a sweet, but very hyperactive boy, who has the same kind of issues as a lot of ADHD kids.
The book is very ...

Great workbook for my patients.
I would recommend this workbook to parents or practitioners who work with Asperger's and/or learning disabled teens. It's interesting to them as they do want to improve their social lives. It has over 30 short "lessons" that you can give as therapeutic "homework" or parents can help their teen complete over the summer. Both patients I have used this workbook with so far have actually enjoyed ...

My Social Stories Book 6 reviews

Presicion through simplicity
As an individual unfamiliar with the nuances of AS, I found "My Social Stories Book" particularly effective in identifying, conveying and demystifying what is mundane for most people, but what can be overwhelming for those with AS. Sean McAndrew's brilliant translation of the text via child-friendly illustrations relevant to their respective scenarios are what make a publication like this one ...

Fantastic!
This is a fantastic book, a treasure of short Buddhist tales with the deepest insights. Sometimes, when I don't have the time or the energy to read long discourses on spirituality I just grab this book, open it at random and read a couple of stories. It's and instant spiritual pick-me-up. Ajahn Brahm tells these stories with such a skill that you feel them come alive right before your eyes. I ...

GREAT BOOK
Great material, helpful information. It is a somewhat heavy read, but that is to be expected with the material it is covering. My only complaint would be that the paper the pages are printed on is thin and prone to getting bent etc.
