treatments for adolescents and adults living with learning and
attention disorders
Reflecting the most recent and relevant findings regarding
Learning Disabilities (LD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity
Disorder (ADHD), this Second Edition of Learning and Attention
Disorders in Adolescence and Adulthood provides practitioners in
the fields of education and mental health with a set of practical
guidelines to assist in the assessment, diagnosis, consultation,
and treatment of adolescents and adults struggling with LD and
ADHD. The new edition includes:
* An emphasis on working from strengths--adapting to
disabilities and dealing with them successfully on a daily
basis
* New coverage of the causes and long-term implications of LD and
ADHD in adolescents and adulthood
* New chapters on treatment effectiveness; building resiliency and
shaping mindsets; cognitive therapy; and strategic life coaching to
help guide individuals with LD and ADHD
* Contributions from leading researchers, including Noel Gregg,
Russell Barkley, Kevin Antshel, and Nancy Mather
Drawing on evidence-based techniques to meet the pragmatic
demands for intervention, the Second Edition guides school
psychologists, counselors, and educators in promoting positive
change for adolescents and adults with LD and ADHD as they strive
for success in school, work, and home settings.
