About the Book

Making ADHD a Gift explains, in everyday language, what ADHD is, how it is diagnosed, and how this condition can affect people throughout their lifetime. It also outlines methods of developing and assessing teaching strategies that can help individuals with ADHD both at home and at school. Unlike other texts, this book takes a positive look at having Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Rather than trying to repress the characteristics of ADHD, Making ADHD a Gift advocates that individuals with ADHD use their disorder to maximize attention span, improve social skills, harness impulsivity, and turn hyperactivity into periods of extreme productivity. In addition to providing teaching strategies and accommodations for ADHD students, the book also examines issues unique to children, adolescents, and adults who have been diagnosed with this disorder. Methods are described to help adolescents with ADHD cope with the associated problems of depression and substance abuse, and to help adults manage the marital and employment difficulties that often accompany ADHD. There is additional helpful information about the benefits and side effects of medication, cultural factors that could cause misdiagnoses, forming support groups, and resources for parents and teachers of ADHD students.

About the Author :
Robert Evert Cimera, an assistant professor of Special Education at the University of Wisconsin at Oshkosh, was diagnosed with ADHD at an early age.

Review :
...a rare addition to the burgeoning canon of handbooks in that it shows families how to harness the energy, productivity, and impulsiveness of a hyperactive child in positive ways. Essentially a primer on this somewhat controversial area of special education, this book offers a "cookbook" format on how to deal with children who display one or more of the typical characteristics of these disorders…Useful for parents of children with ADHD.
