Learning to Thrive with ADD and College Confidence with ADD

Submitted by Michael Sandler (not verified) on Sat, 09/20/2008 - 9:54pm.

Learning to Thrive with Attention Deficit Disorder is a beautiful piece by NPR, and Dr. Kathleen Nadeau’s book “Survival Guide for College Students with ADHD or LD” is well worth the read.

Readers might also be interested in reading my book, College Confidence with ADD, which is designed to help high school and college students survive and thrive with AD/HD and other learning disabilities.

The paperback is highly visual with color, tabs, and icons to make it easy to read and skim (perfect for the short attention scan or to find information quickly) and there's also audiobook/iPod version College Confidence wtih ADD - Unabridged Audiobook for those who struggle with reading or prefer to multi-task.

Remember, challenges are merely opportunities in disguise!!! Use your creative mind to your advantage!
