Product Description Provides information to teachers and parents to aid in the teaching of students with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, Tourette Syndrome or Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. From the Publisher Where can parents learn how to help the schools help their child? What do you tell the school once a diagnosis has been made? Where can teachers learn how to teach these children? Where can you learn to help your child? In Teaching The Tiger From the Author Innovative methods of teaching children with Attention-deficit-disordered children, Tourette syndrome in children, Obsessive-compulsive disorder in children. A guide for parents and teachers. From the Back Cover As Chairperson of the Educational Committee for the National Tourette Syndrome Association, I have had the opportunity to review many publications on the education of students with TS. Teaching the Tiger is by far the finest piece of work in its field I have ever read. This book is very well organized, extremely complete in dealing with all of Tourette Syndrome and its associated disorders, insightful and most practical. Not only will the reader obtain an in-depth understanding of what living with these neurological disorders is like, but will also be provided with all the skills and interventions necessary in providing services for these children in an educational setting. This book is a must for all parents of children with TS and all educational personnel working with children diagnosed with TS, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. For those children it will help, I offer my sincerest gratitude for helping them to understand their world and reach their fullest potential. Susan A. Conners, Chairperson Educational Committee, National TSA As an originator of the OC Foundation and an OCD survivor whose onset was in childhood, my excitement anticipating each page was never disappointed.

To save a child from the pain of OCD with arrested social skills and deflated confidence, which can erode a child's life, is a major goal for us all. Fran Sydney, Founder, Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation Brava! At last a groundbreaking look at the intricate and often confusing relationships between ADD, Tourette syndrome, OCD and LD . . . educational strategies are simply stated but never simplistic . . . The authors have drawn on their vast experience teaching and treating children with neurological impairments to offer sound educational strategies and practical insights for dealing with common problems at school and at home. If we could just make this book required reading at every school and teacher's college in America! Our teachers are in desperate need of this information. Marie Maran, Co-president CH.A.D.D. Westchester County Dornbrush and Pruitt's handbook, Teaching the Tiger, is a marvellous compendium of wisdom, gained through experience. This book will prove to be a frequently used reference for anyone involved with children and adults who suffer from these invisible neurological handicaps . . . As a private practitioner, every chapter proved to be of practical use and assistance. "The Story of Mother Vowel," in the Appendix, alone was worth the price of the book . . . these two writers understand what each and every child and adult go through when they suffer from these conditions . . . I cannot recommend the book enough. I know that it will become a desk manual that I will use on a regular basis. Jonathan B.
