Chances are, this isn't the first book you've picked up on ADHD. But where can you turn when you've mastered the basics and "doing everything right" isn't enough - the insurer denies your claims, parent-teacher meetings get tense, or those motivating star charts no longer encourage good behavior? When the system isn't working for your child, you need from-the-trenches advice on who to call, what to ask, how to improve your odds of getting the best care for your child, when to try a new approach, and when not to take "no" for an answer. That's when Dr. Peter Jensen can help. Dr. Jensen has spent years generating ways to make the healthcare and education systems work, for his own family, as the father of a son with ADHD, and - as a scientific expert and dedicated parent advocate - for thousands of others. No one knows more about managing the complexities of the disorder and the daily hurdles it raises. Now Dr. Jensen pulls together his own experiences along with those of over 80 other parents who have navigated the education and treatment maze. Their accumulated wisdom - flavored with insight, compassion, and even a dash of humor - make this exactly the resource you've been looking for. Making the System Work is an entire support network you can take along on your journey to helping your child succeed. You get vital information on the services you're entitled to and invaluable ideas for how you can: * Break through bureaucratic bottlenecks at school - and boost your child's learning * Communicate with teachers - or family members - who don't "believe in" ADHD * Stay on top of treatment advances while steering clear of unscientific claims * Successfully appeal insurance decisions without going broke in the process * Find real alternatives if the behavioral incentives you use stop working * Build your child's friendship skills and make group activities more rewarding * Work as a team with your spouse to be the best advocates for your child Nearly every page includes candid comments from other parents and shares hard-won ideas for overcoming common problems in treatment.

“If you read only one book about attention deficit disorder, it should be Delivered from Distraction.”—Michael Thompson, Ph.D., New York Times bestselling co-author of Raising Cain In 1994, Driven to Distraction sparked a revolution in our understanding of attention deficit disorder. Widely recognized as the classic in the field, the book has sold more than a million copies. Now a second revolution is under way in the approach to ADD, and the news is great. Drug therapies, our understanding of the role of diet and exercise, even the way we define the disorder–all are changing radically. And doctors are realizing that millions of adults suffer from this condition, though the vast majority of them remain undiagnosed and untreated. In this new book, Drs. Edward M. Hallowell and John J. Ratey build on the breakthroughs of Driven to Distraction to offer a comprehensive and entirely up-to-date guide to living a successful life with ADD. As Hallowell and Ratey point out, “attention deficit disorder” is a highly misleading description of an intriguing kind of mind. Original, charismatic, energetic, often brilliant, people with ADD have extraordinary talents and gifts embedded in their highly charged but easily distracted minds. Tailored expressly to ADD learning styles and attention spans, Delivered from Distraction provides accessible, engaging discussions of every aspect of the condition, from diagnosis to finding the proper treatment regime. Inside you’ll discover • whether ADD runs in families • new diagnostic procedures, tests, and evaluations • the links between ADD and other conditions • how people with ADD can free up their inner talents and strengths • the new drugs and how they work, and why they’re not for everyone • exciting advances in nonpharmaceutical therapies, including changes in diet, exercise, and lifestyle • how to adapt the classic twelve-step program to treat ADD • sexual problems associated with ADD and how to resolve them • strategies for dealing with procrastination, clutter, and chronic forgetfulness ADD is a trait, a way of living in the world. It only becomes a disorder when it impairs your life. Featuring gripping profiles of patients with ADD who have triumphed, Delivered from Distraction is a wise, loving guide to releasing the positive energy that all people with ADD hold inside. If you have ADD or care about someone who does, this is the book you must read. Praise for Delivered from Distraction “The definitive source of information on attention deficit disorder.”—Harold S. Koplewicz, M.D., director, Child Study Center, New York University School of Medicine “A deeply wise and truly helpful book, written with frankness, humor, and tremendous empathy.”—Perri Klass, M.D., co-author of Quirky Kids
