Taking A.D.D. to School

Ben is having trouble in school. It's hard to concentrate and his teachers always tell him to pay attention. A trip to the doctor reveals that Ben has Attention Deficit Disorder. Written for children from Ben's perspective, describing what it is like to have ADD, the problems it caused him at school, and how the disorder can be treated and controlled.

When read aloud, other children can start to identify why a peer with A.D.D. may be treated differently and begin to empathize with the peer. In addition, children with A.D.H.D. or children who have conditions that set them apart as being different begin to feel accepted and safe.
