Book excerpt: This practical skills guide helps young people with who learn differently including those with dyslexia, DCD/dyspraxia and ADHD, study for their exams. Students who learn differently can often find exams challenging and can experience a good deal of anxiety around exam time, leading to exam results that may not accurately reflect their capabilities. Much exam stress arises from a lack of confidence with the ability to learn and retain information in a meaningful way. This engaging workbook is designed to help students to overcome these issues. It not only shows students how to develop a positive success attitude towards study and exams, but also aims to equip them with powerful strategies and techniques for learning and remembering. The book offers strategies for learners whose methods of learning are multisensory. When learning is active rather than passive, it happens faster, and is easier, more enjoyable and more effective. As you progress through the fun, engaging activities, so your confidence and belief in your ability to learn will increase. Struggling students will become confident, successful learners, with a positive attitude and access to a wide range of effective strategies, and in this way, you will achieve the results in exams that you have worked for and deserve.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: About 1 in 20 individuals are dyslexic. This figure also applies for dyspraxia and ADHD. This fully revised edition of David Grant’s thought-provoking, insightful book develops our understanding of these specific learning differences and considers the further challenges presented by these overlapping conditions. This new edition includes a brand-new chapter on dyscalculia. New sections also explore updates in the study of dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD as well as visualisation and synaesthesia, in the light of new data and research. These updates enable the reader to gain a fuller understanding of the sensory experiences and thoughts of individuals with specific learning differences. The author takes a life-style approach to explain many of the everyday experiences and choices of individuals with specific learning differences, including sleep, sports, visualisation and creativity, and uses real life examples explained in the words of those with specific learning differences. The accessible style of this book will immediately strike a chord with anyone with first or second-hand experience of specific learning differences. It is invaluable and insightful reading for those with specific learning differences as well as their parents and/or partner, teachers, teaching assistants and SENCos.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the four most common developmental disorders of childhood. The basic features of each disorder – diagnosis, incidence and treatment strategies – are covered separately. However, during the last decade evidence has been accumulating which indicates that these particular disorders often occur in combination. Some child development specialists now believe that having two or more of these disorders together may be more common than just having a pure form of one of them. Given that it is likely that they commonly occur together, all four disorders are covered in this single text. If you believe that a child known to you may show signs of one of these disorders, it may be helpful to read about all of them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For over 100 years, ADHD has been seen as essentially a behavior disorder. Recent scientific research has developed a new paradigm which recognizes ADHD as a developmental disorder of the cognitive management system of the brain, its executive functions. This cutting-edge book pulls together key ideas of this new understanding of ADHD, explaining them and describing in understandable language scientific research that supports this new model. It addresses questions like: - Why can those with ADHD focus very well on some tasks while having great difficulty in focusing on other tasks they recognize as important? - How does brain development and functioning of persons with ADHD differ from others? - How do impairments of ADHD change from childhood through adolescence and in adulthood? - What treatments help to improve ADHD impairments? How do they work? Are they safe? - Why do those with ADHD have additional emotional, cognitive, and learning disorders more often than most others? - What commonly-held assumptions about ADHD have now been proven wrong by scientific research? Psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and other medical and mental health professionals, as well as those affected by ADHD and their families, will find this to be am insightful and invaluable resource.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Too many parents wait too long to advocate for their children who learn differently because they feel incompetent or ignorant. When in reality, children just need their parents to do the next right thing and walk it out one decision at a time. That can be scarey though when you feel alone and like everyone else’s child is “normal”. Learning Differently is meant to create a community of parents that will be brave enough to say, “My kid is different and it is my job to fight for them until he/she is old enough to fight for themselves.” We as parents hold the keys to whether of not these “differences” create victims or victors. Let’s create champions together!

Book excerpt: For all who live and work with struggling readers and their puzzling problems, this book presents the solution. For the first time: (i) Dyslexia is defined accurately. (ii) The relationships among dyslexia and coexisting ADHD, dyscalculia, auditory processing and speech disorders are explained clearly. (iii) Dyslexia and learning disabilities are corrected successfully to enable failing students to advance to Honor roll, while coexisting conditions dissipated. (iv) The artificial intelligence (AI) system Dysolve® is used to correct dyslexia, a task beyond human specialists. (v) Schools can replace the costly, burdensome services of traditional interventions with this inexpensive computer program that dispenses with intensive teacher preparation.These breakthroughs are illustrated by cases covering over 1,200 hours of training and insights from families, educators and Dr. Coral P.S. Hoh, co-inventor of the US patent for diagnostic technology for language disorders and the architect of Dysolve®. Successes with the most severe of cases prove that dyslexia is not a permanent disability.With over 30 years of diagnostics experience in language processing and operating systems, Dr. Coral and Evan Haruta explain why the multidimensional problem of dyslexia had not been resolved until now. Each person affected has a unique complex of underlying deficits. To remove the condition, Dysolve® was invented to generate assessment and training programs specific to each learner. Schools can see how AI equips them to reverse the grim statistics of special education by changing learning outcomes rapidly and permanently for those affected, now that the future has arrived.

Book excerpt: To the Little Boy in Me: Learning with Dyslexia & ADHD is me looking back from adulthood to the little boy in me saying, "You're going to be ok. Dyslexia was not a curse. ADHD was not a curse." I graduated from high school with honors. I didn't learn I was dyslexic until I was a junior in college. I was a pre-med major. who went on to graduate from college with a degree in psychology and a minor in biology. I innately taught myself how to learn and create my own strategies to cope with this disability. I didn't get diagnosed with ADHD until much later in life when I was thirty years old when I was writing my dyslexia book. In the process, I discovered the things that I got in trouble with as a kid are things I get paid for as an adult which is, my interaction with people, the way that I communicate, they way I use my dyslexia with my gifts and talents and how I remember things. All of the things I struggled with academically in school are things I get paid to share as a keynote speaker, as a life coach and as a presenter. I am now a sought after person because of the gifts that dyslexia and ADHD have given me. As a Dad, ADHD is great, when I'm working with my 3-year-old and 8-month-old daughters and I'm trying to be a parent. I realize I can't always focus because things are always moving in the stay-at-home Dad world. The blessings of being dyslexic are real. Yes, the gifts are cool and amazing. But before reaching the goal, there is a lot of self-doubt, low self-esteem, frustration, and junk to sift through. A lot of reaching back and hugging the little boy in me and letting him know it's okay. You are better because it happened the way it did. The qualities and character you have are results of what you've gone through. You are not weak. You have a testimony to share that can benefit someone else's life.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Not long ago, conventional wisdom held that ADHD was a disorder of childhood only—that somewhere during puberty or adolescence, the child would outgrow it. Now we know better: the majority of children with the disorder continue to display symptoms throughout adolescence and into adulthood. It is during the teen and young adult years that the psychological and academic needs of young people with ADHD change considerably, and clinical and campus professionals are not always sufficiently prepared to meet the challenge. College Students with ADHD is designed to bring the professional reader up to speed. The book reviews the latest findings on ADHD in high school and college students, assessment methods, and pharmacological and nonpharmacological interventions. Practical guidelines are included for helping young adults make the transition to college, so they may cope with their disorder and do as well as possible in school and social settings. Coverage is straightforward, realistic, and geared toward optimum functioning and outcomes. Among the topics featured: - Background information, from current statistics to diagnostic issues. - ADHD in high school adolescents. - ADHD in college students: behavioral, academic, and psychosocial functioning. - Assessment of ADHD in college students. - Psychosocial/educational treatment of ADHD in college students. - Pharmacotherapy for college students with ADHD. - Future directions for practice and research. The comprehensive information in College Students with ADHD provides a wealth of information to researchers and professionals working with this population, including clinical and school psychologists, school and college counselors, special education teachers, social workers, developmental psychologists, and disability support staff on college campuses, as well as allied mental health providers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'If you read only one book about attention deficit disorder, it should be Delivered from Distraction.' Michael Thompson, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling co-author of Raising Cain In 1994, Driven to Distraction sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Widely recognized as the classic in the field, the book has sold more than a million copies. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet and exercise, even the way we define the disorder - all are changing radically. And doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated. In this new book, Drs Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey build on the breakthroughs of Driven to Distraction to offer a comprehensive and entirely up-to-date guide to living a successful life with ADD. As Hallowell and Ratey point out, 'attention deficit disorder' is a highly misleading description of an intriguing kind of mind. Original, charismatic, energetic, often brilliant, people with ADD have extraordinary talents and gifts embedded in their highly charged but easily distracted minds. Tailored expressly to ADD learning styles and attention spans, Delivered from Distraction provides accessible, engaging discussions of every aspect of the condition, from diagnosis to finding the proper treatment regime. Inside you'll discover: - whether ADD runs in families - new diagnostic procedures, tests, and evaluations - the links between ADD and other conditions - how people with ADD can free up their inner talents and strengths - the new drugs and how they work, and why they're not for everyone - exciting advances in nonpharmaceutical therapies, including changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle - how to adapt the classic twelve-step program to treat ADD - sexual problems associated with ADD and how to resolve them - strategies for dealing with procrastination, clutter, and chronic forgetfulness ADD is a trait, a way of living in the world. It only becomes a disorder when it impairs your life. Featuring gripping profiles of patients with ADD who have triumphed, Delivered from Distraction is a wise, loving guide to releasing the positive energy that all people with ADD hold inside. If you have ADD or care about someone who does, this is the book you must read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new term has emerged from the disability movement in the past decade to help change the way we think about neurological disorders: Neurodiversity. ADHD. Dyslexia. Autism. The number of categories of illnesses listed by the American Psychiatric Association has tripled in the past fifty years. With so many people affected by our growing -- culture of disabilities, -- it no longer makes sense to hold on to the deficit-ridden idea of neuropsychological illness. With the sensibility of Oliver Sacks and Kay Redfield Jamison, psychologist Thomas Armstrong offers a revolutionary perspective that reframes many neuropsychological disorders as part of the natural diversity of the human brain rather than as definitive illnesses. Neurodiversity emphasizes their positive dimensions, showing how people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other conditions have inherent evolutionary advantages that, matched with the appropriate environment or ecological niche, can help them achieve dignity and wholeness in their lives.
