ADS. Unkonzentriert, verträumt, zu langsam und viele Fehler im Diktat

This volume is a standard textbook on children and young adults with attention deficit disorder (ADD), which is still being diagnosed and treated far too rarely. Symptoms, causes, diagnosis and treatment are described in detail and in a way that is understandable for everyone. This tenth edition has been updated and adapted to the current state of scientific knowledge: How does an ADD brain work? Why does a special type of neural networking cause ADD-related difficulties in reading, writing and arithmetic? How can learning pathways be created that make it possible to store and retrieve what has been learned better and faster? Learning and behavioural strategies that have been tested in practice are described in detail, with instructions for teachers= own work and for parents as coaches. The mode of action of drugs is explained, with tips for avoiding side effects. In addition, the most important accompanying and secondary diseases such as depression, addictions and eating disorders, which particularly affect adolescents and adults, are also discussed.
