I read Right Brain Learners in a Left Brain World, it is wonderful. The books the Gift of Dylexia, The Gift of ADHD, Smart Kids With Difficulty Learning,Enriching the Brain and Art with the Brain in Mind are all worth every cent. I have heard about the Edison Trait and am excited about reading it. Blob I have addressed same issues on behaviour. The book 123 Magic was what was pretty suscessful. Schools recomend the book Love and Logic for parents to be on the same page as school. I took professional development class on how to do a Behavioral Intervention Plan And write a Behavioral intervention Plan,whic Since behavior was a issue,same as your son. Why does he do it one day and not even try the next day, we know he can do the work, he just doesn't want to. So there is punishment at school for the child unless the parent is knowledgeable enough. There is a book, Behavioral Interventions for Teachers is college level book that gives parent the knowledge to work with school. It also gives parent alot of ideas. I'm dealing with same , creative, right brain,artistic, spontanious, energetic,amazing child with ADHD. Thanks for ideas on new books. Linda Silverman has great info. on Hoagie Gifted Web Site about visual learners.
