Unfocused, dreamy, too slow and lots of mistakes in dictation : Diagnosis, therapy and support for hypoactive children

Inattentive type ADD is still too rarely recognised and treated in children and adolescents. This standard work describes symptoms, causes, diagnosis, and therapy in detail and in a broadly understandable way. It provides answers to questions such as: How does an ADS brain work? How do medications work and what side effects can be expected? Why do so many sufferers have reading, spelling, and maths difficulties? The book provides proven learning and behavioural strategies for training attention and academic skills, as well as increasing self-esteem and social competence. In addition, it covers the most important accompanying and secondary disorders that also affect adolescents and adults.
