All the exercises are reproducible so that students can place
the pages in a binder to work on in clinical sessions or at
home. In Part I of the program, the author describes ADD,
listing ways in which it can affect a child's home life and
performance at school, and suggests strategies for coping with
the disorder. Part II contains activities grouped by themes.
Activities range from role-playing exercises to word games to
thought-provoking worksheets that encourage children to
examine their attitudes and opinions about a variety of
subjects. Also included are charts and graphs for students to
track their improvement and checklists for daily
routines."
