Reviewed by Collette Drifte, special needs consultant
This is a super little book, a 'must have' for any early ears setting, whether or not there is a child there with AD/HD. It's unlikely to be left on the shelf -it is so full of useful information, ideas and strategies for dealing with the child who has attention problems, that the practitioner will probably have it constantly to hand.
It is a short and small book, written in the author's usually clear and practical style, with a very reader-friendly approach. Its five chapters give a background to AD/HD, working with the AD/HD child at both stages of the Code of Practice (Early Years Action and Early Years Action Plus), strategies for working with the child and suggestions for working with parents. It also has contact details for resources and organisations related to the management of AD/HD.
