Dr. Taylor's revised 3rd edition of his pace-setting parent and teacher guide on ADHD was

 

released recently. It sets a new standard for parenting resources in this field. Since 1990, his book "Helping Your Hyperactive Child" was the most comprehensive general purpose guide. Under the title of "Helping Your ADD Child" and expanded to 400 pages, it retains its status as the most comprehensive, with 660 indexed topics, a 239-item glossary, and expanded discussion of dozens of topics glossed over or not covered at all in other parent-teacher guides. It features chapters on autism and Asperger's syndrome, sensorimotor treatments, nutritional and detoxification approaches, self-esteem, ensuring the child's cooperation for medication or dietary treatment, parents' emotional stresses and marital patterns, and recreation for the ADD child and teen. Even the appendices are interesting, including study and discussion questions, over 90 ways to keep an ADD child out of mischief when he or she becomes bored, 179 cited works and organizations in the "For More Help" appendix, 117 study and discussion questions so that you can use this guide as the basis for a parent discussion group, and 105 scientific journal citations including coverage of controversial areas like toxinsulation, visual training, dietary alternatives, the Irlen method, and neurofeedback. It is available from us (autographed, of course) or at any book store.
