Review
This tape, consisting of a one hour lecture followed by a 30 min. question and answer period, was recorded live with a capacity crowd of 1400 parents and professionals! This program is a positive look at what ADHD is all about and is a must for anyone wanting professional insight into the issues relating to this disorder. This tape is a great tool that can give grandma, your babysitter, or your sister-in-law a better understanding of what your child is dealing with and that s/he is not dumb, doomed or a drug addict! -- From the Publisher

Customer Reviews

A great listen, from a great author on ADHD- two thumbs up
I have seen Dr. Russell live and he is so nice to listen to that I had to try the tape. I was delighted once again. He has such an easy going attitude and so upbeat yet extrememly knowledgeable about the subject. As the father of two children that suffer with ADHD and also as an adult slowly coming to terms with my own symptoms in this realm, I highly reccommend this tape and also his books on the subject. I would also suggest the books by John Ratey that cover the subject. They are also available on tape, which I find much easier to fit into my hectic day.
