From Dr. Cliff Heegel: Thomas Armstrong is a recommended reading for parents, educators, and health care providers. An educator by training, Armstrong has an empowering approach to working with ADHD kids that is very close to the approach I take at the Stress and Biofeedback Clinic in Memphis. I highly recommend his book The Myth of the A.D.D. Child
From Dr. Armstrong's website: "My work as an educator and psychologist in the fields of multiple intelligences, the myth of ADD/ADHD, and the natural genius of kids, has been guided by a belief that all children are gifted children. Each child comes into the world with unique potentials that, if properly nourished, can contribute to the betterment of our world. The biggest challenge for parents and teachers is to remove the roadblocks that keep those gifts from being recognized, celebrated, and nurtured."
A couple of my favorite readings from this website:
The Myth of Attention Deficit Disorder -- be sure to page down to read the list of 50 Ways to Improve Your Child’s Behavior and Attention Span without Drugs, Labels, or Coercion.
