ADHD Go-To Guide: Facts and strategies for parents and teachers Ms Desiree Silva

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is the most common mental-health condition in children and is present in
most countries around the world. Although there is an abundance of literature on ADHD with plenty of scientific information,
this condition remains controversial and often under-diagnosed.



Many books have been written for parents about ADHD but most of them are quite scientific. They can be difficult to
navigate, especially if you are a parent with some symptoms of ADHD yourself.



This book is a go-to guide for parents and teachers, providing up-to-date knowledge in a simple, easy-to-read format. It
is filled with information your doctor would like to provide, but is often unable to do so in the limited appointment times
available. This book also gives a framework and practical tips for how you can manage and advocate for your child in
different settings, with or without medication. It summarises evidence to date for medication and alternative therapies,
examines commonly held beliefs about ADHD, and debunks myths.



ADHD Go-To Guide book has been written by a developmental paediatrician (Desiree Silva) and an ADHD coach (Michele Toner), both of
whom are passionate about improving the lives of children with ADHD and their families. They both have over 20 years of
experience in the field and recognise the need for this practical guide.
