Children and teens with a new diagnosis of AD/HDl may feel confused about what AD/HD means for them. Luckily, there are many books out there that are written in age-approapriate language. As part of a psycho-educaitonal evaluation or treatment for AD/HD, we often recommend some of the following books:
For Children:
• Learning to Slow Down and Pay Attention by K. Nadeau, Ph.D. & E. Dixon, Ph.D. (2004)
• Putting on the Breaks by P. Quinn, M.D. & J. Stern, M.A. (2008)
For Teens:
• The ADHD Workbook for Teens: Activities to Help You Gain Motivation and Confidence by L. Honos-Webb, Ph.D. (2011).
• The Girls' Guide To AD/HD: Don't Lose This Book! by B. Walker (2009)
For Young Adults:
• Survival Guide for College Students with ADHD or LD, by K. Nadeau, Ph.D. (2006)
• ADD and the College Student: A Guide for High School and College Students with Attention Deficit Disorder by P. Quinn, MD. (2001)
