Review :
"This is an exceptionally well written, organized, and literate text. It deftly blends the available research and scientific knowledge with practical, clinical and educational applications. This text goes on the top of my list as recommended for community and school based professionals dealing with classroom consultation in regards to ADHD. Drs. DuPaul and Stoner should be congratulated on their exceptional work." --Sam Goldstein, Ph.D., Neurology Learning & Behavior Center "I would consider this book to be the most current treatise on ADHD and children. It is noteworthy because of its school-based focus and, as a consequence, it will be a valuable resource for school psychologists and educators. Particularly impressive is the excellent use of case study examples and the assessment model which addresses the most frequently asked questions and prescribes methods to address each of these. I also liked the fact that the book has a developmental perspective." --Steven Landau, Ph.D., Department of Psychology, Illinois State University
"Dupaul and Stoner have produced an exceptionally perceptive account of the ADHD literature including symptoms, etiology, assessment, diagnosis, and treatment. The text is superior in relating assessment to interventions and in reviewing psychological and educational methods that produce positive outcomes. DuPaul and Stoner's review of ADHD should be required reading for support services personnel such as school psychologists, special educators, and counselors." --Daniel J. Reschly, Ph.D., Iowa State University
"This book goes far beyond the typical "how to" manual for diagnosing and treating attention deficit disorders. All strategies are based on an up-to-date understanding of the disorders, the necessary complexity of the assessment process, and the realities of the school setting. The authors provide numerous examples of instruments, forms, and techniques, all rooted in current research findings.
Probably the book's most outstanding feature is the chapter on classroom-based intervention strategies. Not only is this chapter exceptionally thorough with respect to strategies for preventing classroom difficulties, but by addressing the academic deficits that often accompany ADHD, this book goes beyond others that deal only with behavior management issues." --Ann J. Abramowitz, Ph.D., Emory University School of Medicine
