Summary
Finally, a substantive text has been written for college students with ADHD and the educators and counselors upon whom they depend. More than just a checklist of techniques and strategies, this text provides a thorough, scholarly yet readable overview of the background, history, definition, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD in a straight –forward, easy to digest format. The biographies of students with ADHD bring the symptoms to life, providing the reader with the opportunity if they have ADHD to better understand themselves and if they do not, to see the world through the eyes of the students whom they are attempting to counsel and educate. Bramer’s chapters on interventions are thorough, practical and well-organized. The Appendices contain an excellent set of handouts for college administrators, faculty, counselors and students with ADHD.
