First sentence: 'ADHD, like dyslexia in the past, has been slow to gain recognition from educational and medical authorities, some of whom still believe that there is no such thing and that children with ADHD are just badly behaved or the product of poor parenting.'
Description: ADHD:TheEssential Guide is a practical guide for parents, teachers or carers. It provides all the facts and resources needed to find as much information as possible about ADHD. Its easy-to-read style guides readers through the process, from spotting symptoms and getting a diagnosis to receiving treatment and finding support, for children, adolescents and adults with this condition. It includes which professionals can help, how to get through the 'system' and how to gain support from schools, life after school and healthy eating.
