About Kids In The Syndrome Mix Of
Product Description Kids in the Syndrome Mix is a concise, scientifically up-to-date, all-in-one guide to the whole range of often co-existing neuro-behavioral disorders in children-from attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, and bipolar disorder, to autistic spectrum disorders, nonverbal learning disabilities, sensory integration problems, and executive dysfunction. Dr. Kutscher provides accessible information on causes, symptoms, interactions with other conditions, and treatments. He presents effective behavioral strategies for responding to children who display traits of these disorders-whether at home, at school, or in other settings-along with case vignettes and practical tips. The author's sympathetic yet upbeat approach and skillful explanations of the inner world of children in the syndrome mix make this an invaluable companion for parents, teachers, professionals, and anyone else who needs fast and to-the-point advice on children with special needs. Review A sparkling, granite-strong steppingstone from which to launch further investigations into the conditions Kutscher covers, though, given its myriad hands-on recommendations, this guide may be an end in itself. Author: Kirkus Reports This short easy-read book takes a holistic approach, detailing clear profiles for each syndrome and the associated communication problems. It is useful for those with limited knowledge of the syndromes, with a chapter on medication and an extensive list of therapy ideas. Author: Speech & Language therapy in Practice It is easy to read, with an emphasis on avoidance of jargon and the use of pen portraits and insights into individual children to illuminate points. It has many excellent strategies which can be put into effect in schools, homes and elsewhere and which recognize that children may not fall neatly into individual diagnostic categories. Kutscher's underlying passion for making difficult information easy to understand is evident throughout the text. Author: The Journal for Special Needs This book would be an excellent starting point for understanding some of these conditions more and it gives a “thumb-nail sketch” of each one, with interventions that could be applied directly. It would be a useful addition to any EPS library, as well as a good resource book for a SENCo or SEN teacher. I would assume also that parents and other professionals would find the book useful… I would highly recommend this book as it is very informative without being overly academic. Author: Debate Children often come with complex problems that interact and complicate one another. Kutscher begins by explaining what is known about the causes of the disorders , symptoms, interactions with other conditions, and treatments. He then provides concrete behavioural strategies, additional resources and other recommendations for dealing with these disorders – whether at home, at school, or in other settings- along with case vignettes and practical tips that will be helpful to both parents and professionals... a good general reference book to dip in and out of for anyone new to the area of learning difficulties. Author: Children, Young People + Families This book is subtitled “The one-stop guide for parents, teachers and other professionals”, and it lives up to that claim. When it becomes clear that a child has comorbid conditions, I now give her parents this easy-to-read overview instead of a stack of books... for many parents it will be all that's needed to move forward, in collaboration with a doctor and mental-health professional, toward effective treatment. Author: Carol Brady, clinical psychologist on www.attitudemag.com The author and contributors show compassion and understanding for children who face special challenges because of their disorders. Above all, the whole approach here is positive and upbeat... Teachers and parents are assured that being well informed and empathetic puts them in a good positi
