Reviews

"Can successfully be used for teacher inservice training, support groups, or group therapy....This is a well-produced video that sheds light on a disorder often misdiagnosed and frequently ignored."
-Video Rating Guide for Libraries

"The easy flow between Barkley's comments, clips of patients, and interchanges with parents and teachers makes for an engaging viewing experience...Barkley has taken his considerable knowledge regarding ADHD and condensed it into an engaging, informative primer on ADHD that is targeted for nonprofessional audiences. Furthermore, his fine blend of professionalism and personal charm make him a shoo-in for this medium."
-Contemporary Psychology

"The information here will promote compassion and enlightened treatment and help insure successful, happy, productive lives for those with ADHD"
-Library Journal

"As the parent of a child diagnosed with ADHD, Dr. Barkley's video has helped me to understand and better deal with my son's behavior. For the first time, I feel as though someone really understands what this disorder is all about."
