Description
Combining the latest research evidence with the authors’ practical expertise, Helping Children with ADHD offers a complete intervention programme for flexibly delivering behavioural and cognitive interventions to children aged 6-12 with ADHD and associated conditions.
Redefines and develops best practice in the application of cognitive and behavioural techniques to help children aged 6-12 with ADHD and associated comorbid conditions, including learning difficulties
Offers a range of engaging resources within a pragmatic and practically-focused approach; modular structure allows the interventions to be selected and tailored according to the particular age, ability and needs of the individual child
An appendix of entertaining stories about Buzz, a boy with ADHD, provides structural narrative while also teaching core skills in areas such as keeping calm, planning, managing impulsivity and dealing with anxiety
Straightforward, accessible language allows the techniques to be used by those without expert clinical training; dedicated sections provide advice for using the approach in school, home and group contexts
A companion website provides downloadable materials including illustrated patient worksheets to accompany the narrative stories
Very good book and excellent quality to read .
Wow. This is a rule comprehensive, well researched and referenced book for anyone managing life with a child with ADHD. It’s often misdiagnosed, or even missed (‘Naughty’ children!) so to have a CBT approach like this can only support children to manage and grow in a world which increasingly stifles individuality.
Lots of practical examples, and reassuring advice, I’d recommend this to parents, teachers, nurses, practitioners – anyone.
This book is a comprehensive guide for Practitioners, parents and teachers for administering CBT for children ages 5-12 who have ADHD. This is a perfect book for my sister, who teaches at a school for children with autism (often ADHD comes with comorbid conditions, such as autism) and she also has an autistic son, who also has ADHD.
This book is excellent and extremely well thought through and well explained. There is a programme for helping children with ADHD, consisting of carefully- thought-out sessions, with worksheets and clear explanations. The sessions deal with a range of problems, including attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity anxiety and frustration and anger. The child is introduced to all of these topics through the experiences of a boy called Buzz.
Everything in the book is backed up by full references and clinical explanation.
This programme, in conjunction with medication, will help my nephew to understand his behaviours and learn how to manage his complex condition.
This is a subject I know little about, but my daughter confronts it almost daily in her work. When I read the forward to the book before ordering, I was surprised to learn from my daughter that what I was reading is factual, there is so little known about the subject.
From my view, this appears to be a well written treatise and one that any reader will gain some additional knowledge.
Very clearly written and recommended
