Wanna Keep Reading

So far this is a great product. My son is 9 and has processing disorders as well as dyslexia. Both of which I have as well. I am hoping that this book will help me help him.

Smart but Scattered

An informative book that helps explain the reasons behind the often unexplainable thought process, or at times the lack of, that occurs in the individual with ADHD.
Helpful for the family member living with someone with ADHD and potentially eye opening for the individual diagnosed with ADHD.

Amazing book!

This is an amazing book for any parent, child care person or teacher who needs to interact with kids with executive functioning issues. I myself had poor working memory issues and have a 7th grader who needed a lot of help in this area. I also have a 7 year old that I never could understand. He has poor impulsiveness and emotional control. This book really, really helped me to understand him and figure out how to help him. I highly recommend the book. The only negative is that I think there could have been more hands on solutions to help kids (even though there were a lot) and maybe that is because I am a teacher, a person who overcame working memory issues and taught my 7th grader how to overcome them so I already had a bunch of tricks up my sleeves that weren't in the book.

Amazing resource

Smart but Scattered is a must have for any Special Education Teacher. A well organized method for evaluating needs in Executive Skills AND templates for monitoring, planning and other organizing tools. One of the best books I've purchased this year.

Great Book for Kids and Adults

This book was suggested by a psychiatrist to an adult recently diagnosed with ADD, specifically for its opening section on executive skills. It is clearly written and easy to grasp. I recommend it to parents of kids with ADD/ADHD, and to adults with the same.
