Putting on the Brakes Activity Book for ADHD – Quinn & Stern

Book review

Helpful exercises and tools

This book is an invaluable aide for students (parents and professionals too) dealing with the challenges of ADHD in school. The writing is clear and appealing with worksheets and quick exercises for the student to gain understanding of how ADD affects their ability to plan, study, learn and focus.
The guide offers various study techniques to help children with ADHD become successful students and coaches active study techniques to remember what they read and to develop written reports. A great workbook, in many ways more helpful than the original “Putting on the Brakes” book by the same authors.
