A Guide to Developmental, Neurobiological and Psychological Disorders for Parents and Professionals

Robbie

From ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) to ZS (Zellweger Syndrome)-there seems to be an alphabet disorder for almost every behavior, from those caused by serious, rare genetic diseases to more common learning disabilities that hinder children's academic and social progress.
Alphabet Kids have disorders that are often concurrent, interconnected or mistaken for one another: for example, the frequent combination of ASD, OCD, SID and ADHD.

Covers 70 childhood disorders, providing information on causes, cures, treatments and prognoses. Chapters include a comprehensive list of signs and symptoms, and the disorders are illustrated with often heartbreaking, but always inspirational true-life stories of a child with the particular disorder.
This comprehensive, easy-to-read go-to guide will help parents to sort through all the interconnected childhood developmental, neurobiological and psychological disorders and serve as a roadmap to help start the families' journey for correct diagnoses, effective treatment and better understanding of their Alphabet Kids.

Teaching the Tiger

A Handbook for individuals involved in the education of students with attention deficit disorders, Tourette syndrome or obsessive-compulsive disorder

Marilyn P Dornbush and Sheryl K Pruitt

The tiger symbolizes the ADHD/ADD/TS/OCD students. just as the tiger cannot control its natural instincts, neurologically impaired students often cannot control their unpredictable, impulsive behaviour. These students easily become overaroused and unable to perform at an optimum level.
One cannot corner a tiger without expecting an agitated, uncooperative animal. Likewise, one cannot always place demands on these students to perform and behave without expecting a similar reaction. In a structured, rule-governed world, inflexible, unrealistic demands often precipitate behavours that do not meet the expectations of teachers and parents.
This book is an attempt to give teachers and parents the tools they need to alter the environment and to "teach the tiger".
