The school experience has a profound effect on all children and especially on the AD/HD child. A good school nurtures the growth of your child in many ways. The wrong school can be devastating, affecting both academic and social development. But how do you tell the difference? Parents often do not know what they should look for in a school or what questions they should ask. "Choosing a School for Your AD/HD Child" gives you a framework for understanding the gifts and challenges your child brings to the classroom. It examines characteristics of the classroom that directly affect the AD/HD child. Finally, it outlines your legal rights within the school system and lets you know what help you can expect. Let us help you find the right learning environment for your child.
