"In this volume, Drs. DuPaul and Stoner offer a wide-ranging, thoughtful review of the major issues confronting school professionals in understanding and treating children and adolescents with ADHD....The authors have obviously given a great deal fo thought towards providing a well-rounded, empirically based text aimed at assisting educational professionals who deal with ADHD in the classroom....The information imparted in this excellent text, by two respected researchers and educators, provides a valuable source of information that parents, clinicians, and teachers trying to help these students can ill-afford to be without. It represents the most up-to-date thought in how to deliver high quality services to students struggling with ADHD in the schools."--Journal of Attention Disorders |
