ADD-Friendly Ways to Organize Your Life
$21.95
Based on all the positive reviews, I was surprised that this book was not very helpful. The authors seem like smart, well-meaning people, but unfortunately I found that much of the advice was too generic, bordering on being platitudinous ("avoid being late for things by planning to arrive 15 minutes early," "relax by looking at something green and breathing deeply," etc.) Also, there was too much emphasis on involving other people, either by getting help from friends and family or professional organization coaches. They definitely don't offer a do-it-yourself approach in this book.

For a book for helping ADD people get organized that has concrete, practical, do-it-yourself advice, I highly recommend Organizing Solutions for People With Attention Deficit Disorder by Susan Pinsky instead.

ADD/ADHD Drug Free: Natural Alternatives and Practical Exercises to Help Your Child Focus
$15.00
This is a very balanced approach to ADHD treatment. Although the title of the book would lead one to believe there is no place for prescription drugs in the treatment of ADHD, this book clearly shows when and also when not to use medicine. The book helps parents of young children not to panic that their active preschooler is hyperactive, but helps the parent to learn about the developing brain and tips to help their preschooler avoid the ADHD label at some later point in his life. The discussion of learning styles is wonderful and especially useful to every parent and teacher. Educating children from the starting point of their learning strengths is beneficial to everyone. The book has a short list of lifestyle modifications to help the child, but this is not the sole focus of the book. The list, though, is worthwhile and should be tried before entering the dangers of medicating a child (or adult). The book clearly states the cold hard fact, that medication alone without behavior modification/ therapy will be unsuccessful in the long run of helping a child/ adult with ADHD. Although I was expecting the book to advocate never using medication, it clearly does not say that, but the book shows that medication alone will never suffice. The book also helps one to see where medication needs to be used in order to make any progress in therapeutic exercises.
