Abstract:
Dr. Kutscher not only makes difficult information easier to understand, but does it with a depth of understanding and compassion that is unique in the field. His examples are true to life and his strategies concrete and applicable in every day life. I would strongly recommend this book to be on any teacher's reading list and a guide for parents dealing with children with special challenges. If I had my wish I would make it mandatory reading for every teacher coming out of teacher's college. I will be recommending it frequently.''. -Heidi Bernhardt, Director, ADRN (Attention Deficit Research Ne.
