Georgie Posted October 7, 2008 Share Posted October 7, 2008 Please forgive me. I know ADHD/ADD has been discussed before, but what I am looking for are specific recommendations for books and websites regarding the diagnosis and various treatments for such a diagnosis. In the other thread I found the website additudemag.com, but I am also looking for books that give information from all sides. My 5 year old nephew was just diagnosed and his Grandmother is worried that he might be on medication that isn't needed. She said it makes him zoned out and very little of his vibrant personality remains. I am out of state, and am obviously not around him enough to have an opinion on whether he is just active and needs to be taught in a different way, yes he just might need the medication, etc. I am looking for information she can read up on to prepare herself for when she speaks to people on his behalf. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jennefer@SSA Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 Right Brained Children in a Left Brained World This book gives an entirely new perspective (at least for me) on why ADHD kids are the way they are and extremely practical helps to support them to be successful in the classroom. It's a very easy read and the best book I've read so far on the subject. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
