Rave Reviews From the Experts!

"An excellent and practical workbook developed out of years of experience and caring. I highly recommend this workbook."
--Edward Hallowell, M.D.author of Driven To Distraction & Answers To Distraction

"Finally, a book for the kids! One that they can really use to boost their self-esteem, along with good information for their parents to help them understand also. It's just like having your own portable support group--take it with you, and read and write when you feel you need an ego boost. An easy-to-read book for everyone: parents, teachers, students--it goes a long way in advocating understanding of AD/HD--what it is, and what it is NOT!!!"
--Theresa C. Cavanaugh, LDT-C, President, Learning Disabilities Association of New York

"Kerin's understanding, borne of her many years of working in the field of AD/HD, has given her the ability to write a workbook that is an essential and comprehensive resource."
--Roy J. Boorady, M.D., Assistant Professor of Psychiatry, New York University School of Medicine Director, Psychopharmacology Service, NYU Child Study Center
