Recenzje

'Solid information, expert advice, and real-life footage... Recommended for purchase by all types of libraries.' - Video Rating Guide for Libraries

'The easy flow between Barkley's comments, clips of patients, and interchanges with parents and teachers makes for an engaging viewing experience...Barkley has taken his considerable knowledge regarding ADHD and condensed it into an engaging, informative primer on ADHD that is targeted for nonprofessional audiences. Furthermore, his fine blend of professionalism and personal charm make him a shoo-in for this medium.' - Contemporary Psychology

'The information here will promote compassion and enlightened treatment and help insure successful, happy, productive lives for those with ADHD.' - Library Journal

'For parents and teachers (and, probably, many librarians), this program offers the comfort of knowing others are out there dealing with the disorder too; better still, the program's title question is answered.' - Wilson Library Journal
