A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

What is ADHD? How can I help my child or pupil? Are there any support groups I can contact? Does your child have frequent temper tantrums? Are they always fidgeting, running around screaming or falling over? Perhaps you teach a child like that. If so, the chances are there's nothing to worry about and they're just being boisterous. But for five to ten per cent of children it isn't that simple. These characteristics can be some of the symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). So, how can you tell the difference and what can you do about it? This book is here to help. Its easy-to-read style guides parents and carers through the process, from spotting the symptoms and getting a diagnosis to receiving treatment and finding support. Find out which professionals can help, how to get through the system and gain support from your school and how to get the best education for your child's needs. Practical issues such as life after school and healthy eating are also an integral part of the book. Whether you're a parent or teacher, being equipped with the facts will enable you to make informed decisions. Knowledge is the key. Finding out as much as you can is crucial. This book is your starting point. Published by Need2Know books: www.need2knowbooks.co.uk
