    2. ADD and ADHD are estimated to affect at least 3 to 7 percent of school- age children and the amount of information available on the subject can be overwhelming, confusing and oftentimes, conflicting. The ADD & ADHD Answer Book is a reassuring, authoritative reference for you and your family, providing sound advice and immediate answers to your most pressing questions. The book also includes questionnaires and checklists to help you get the most out of your childs evaluation. Written in an easy-to-read question and answer format, The ADD & ADHD Answer Book helps you understand your childs illness and develop a plan to help them succeed. Personal Review: The ADD & ADHD Answer Book: Professional Answers to 275 of the Top Questions Parents Ask by Susan Ashley As a Child & Adolescent Psychiatrist, I treat ADHD kids and teens on a daily basis. A large portion of the appointment is spent answering some very good questions. Dr. Ashlely has not only correctly identified many of those questions, but has also provided some very good answers. The first chapter covers many of the basics of ADHD. This is essential reading. She goes on to address important topics such as how to obtain an evaluation, homework, social skills, and even medications. The medication chapter is a good introduction to the topic. Near the end of the book in Appendix B, she provides a list of very helpful accomodations and modifications for school. This is a book that I recommend to my patients as an excellent reference.
