A RANGE OF LITERATURE TO HELP BOTH PARENTS AND CHILDREN

THE SPECIAL BRAIN

‘The Special Brain’ by Dr Susan Ozer fills a much needed gap in educational resource as it is a short story specifically aimed at helping younger children understand the science behind ADHD. Understanding how ADHD occurs is a big step in improving compliance to treatment and also helps improve the child’s self esteem after having a diagnosis. Getting children to understand how the brain works and how ADHD occurs can sometimes be challenging. Dr Ozer captures this really well through the simplicity of the language in the book and the very engaging story which will appeal to so many children. Professionals will also find this book a great resource when discussing ADHD diagnosis with children and their families.

RAINBOW

Further to her two books, ‘Transition information for children and young people with ADHD/ADD’ and ‘ The Special Brain’, both published with educational grants and widely appreciated, Dr. Susan Yarney’s new book, ‘Rainbow’ is available to all those who need to know more about ADHD. There has always been a gap between medical care provided and psycho-education available to children and young people with ADHD and their families. Dr. Yarney continues to fill this gap through this book, which provides some useful insight into ADHD in girls and the importance of early detection and management. Furthermore, it gives a fuller understanding of the difficulties associated with ADHD in girls, and in doing so help improve self-esteem and confidence.

WIDE AWAKE KIDZ CLUB AND THE SLEEP CRUSHERS

Following on from Dr Susan Ozer's previous books for young people with ADHD/ADD and their families comes ‘The Wide Awake Kidz Club and The Sleep Crushers’. This book helps young people to understand the importance of sleep. It is beautifully illustrated with great characters who capture the audience with their conversational narrative style, riddles and quizzes and short sections that are easy to use. The book can be used by the young person themselves or with parents, teachers and health care professionals. Dr Susan Ozer is determined to offer young people with ADHD/ ADD and their families as much information as possible; she has a passion for psycho-education.
