Is It You, Me, or Adult A.D.D.? Stopping the Roller Coaster When Someone You Love Has Attention Deficit Disorder
by Gina Pera |
|
$19.95 |
As a journalist, longtime ADHD advocate, and spouse of an adult with ADHD, Gina says she wrote the book she wish she'd had ten years ago, when she and her husband first learned that he has ADHD. In addition to explaining the basics and nuances of adult ADHD, especially as it affects couples, the book also serves as a consumer guide to finding effective ADHD treatment strategies.
"This book is sure to become the authoritative guide for couples dealing with ADHD and the baggage that accompanies it," says Patricia Quinn, MD. "Packed with information, but not overwhelming, it is a unique and valuable resource."

The Disorganized Mind: Coaching
Your AD/HD Brain to Take Control of Your Time,
Tasks, and Talents
by Nancy Ratey |
|
$24.95 |
Here is a life coach in book form to help you overcome
the inattention, disorganization, and impulsivity
that gets in the way of their getting things done.
What follows is both a practical guide to taking
control of the symptoms with which individuals with
ADHD struggle, and an inspirational summons to believe
with the author that living a rich and balanced life
-- "a life you love" -- is possible. By
providing anecdotes from real life, and by citing
strategies that she and her clients have devised
to cope with their ADHD, Ms. Ratey demonstrates how
readers can compensate for the specific attention
inconsistencies their ADHD brains manifest, and reduce
or eliminate the burdens they, and consequently their
families, so often bear. There's no magic, she insists.
But there is choice. The book makes a compelling
case for choosing Nancy Ratey's coaching techniques
as the first step of the life-changing journey ahead.

Plan for Success
by Joyce Kubik, AD/HD Coach & Skills
Trainer
How is Plan For Success program on CD different? First, it is a planning-journal
that has the following elements: a clean design without
the clutter of pithy sayings or all the little things
placed on the page to draw our attention away from planning,
weekly project-planning worksheets, and journal pages
to use for meetings or class notes, or simply to write
your fleeting thoughts. You'll also find a small parking
lot to drop those ideas that pop into your head at inopportune
times, and three monthly overviews at a time. But the
most valuable part of the Plan For Success program is
a time-scheduling page where you realistically plan
the days events.
Print out as many pages that you want manage at one
time and save... save... save... because there is no
need to buy a new planner every year.
