About this item

Everyone struggles occasionally with sitting still, distractions, forgetting appointments, completing long-term projects, and losing schoolbooks, but these things can be particularly frequent and problematic for those with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) , a condition that affects an estimated 11 percent of school-aged people. This insightful book offers straightforward information about ADHD, as well as oppositional defiant disorder (ODD) , which affects many people with and without ADHD. Readers will learn about diagnosis procedures, treatment options, and empowering strategies to thrive at home, school, and beyond.
