The ADHD Empowerment Guide does exactly what it says it will, “empowers you to do the best you can for your child.” As an educator specializing in Exceptional Student Education and parent of 2 children diagnosed with ADHD, this book provided a way to look at a diagnosis of ADHD through a positive lens. It helps you see the possibilities for your child from school age through adulthood when they begin transitioning into real life careers. It is not only a book of knowledge but also a book for action. It guides you through short term and long term goals and setting up an intentional plan so your child reaches his/her full potential. The Guide lists resources for you as a parent as well as resources to use with your child. 
The ADHD Empowerment Guide provides a positive, long term approach for ensuring success for your child. I will be sharing this resource with friends, colleagues, and parents. 

The ADHD Empowerment Guide contains innumerable tips and strategies for coping with the many challenges of ADHD.  The strategies are practical and doable, making this book a valuable handbook for parents.  It is plain-spoken, relating to the reader in everyday, understandable language rather than educational jargon. 
	The authors stress the importance of recognizing and fostering the child’s strengths rather than focusing solely on deficit areas.  To me, this seems like a very compassionate approach.  After all, none of us want to be most known for what we can’t do well.
