Not Bad,
By Dr. Zaius (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Survival Guide for College Students With ADD or LD (Paperback)
I bought this book based on Gerard's review. I found it to be decent and fairly useful. Most of the stuff is pretty straight forward and already common knowledge. Some useful hints that I hadn't thought about on how to organize yourself and seek help. All the pictures in the book seem to be out of the 70s or 80s, which I found kind of strange...not that it matters. The book is really short and you probably only need to look at it once. It's a worthwhile investment.

I absolutely love this book,
By Gerard Montigny visit www.adhdcanada.ca (Ottawa, Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Survival Guide for College Students With ADD or LD (Paperback)
I absolutely love this book and highly recommended especially if you are newly diagnosed or new to post-secondary education. The book is actually more of a quick reference guide, the type you can carry around with you, and use on an as need basis. I myself keep it handy, and whenever a question, problem, or concern comes up related to ADHD and school I just pick it up and flip to the relevant section. This book is not intended to be an exhaustive analysis of the ADHD post-secondary situation, but more of a pithy and portable help manual. I definitely recommend purchasing this book, even if it means giving up and evening of beer and pizza in order to afford the book, as it's well worth it.

An outstanding compendium of explanation and advice,
By Midwest Book Review - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Survival Guide For College Students With ADHD Or LD (Paperback)
This fully updated second edition of Survival Guide For College Students With ADHD Or LD is an outstanding compendium of explanation and advice gathered from the expertise, experience, and original studies of Kathleen G. Nadeau (Clinical Psychologist and nationally known specialist on attentional learning disabilities). Introducing readers to an intelligent and informed presentation of the difficulties involved in the process of post-secondary schooling for troubled students, Survival Guide For College Students With ADHD Or LD nicely educates its readers on just how to find the most suitable college, how to build a productive and positive relationship with professors, mastering the total utilization of the support and services and accommodations provided, how to select and schedule the desired courses, choosing a major and prospective career, and how to manage time properly in order to get everything done and still have personal time. Survival Guide For College Students With ADHD Or LD is very strongly recommended as essential for all aspiring college students with ADHD or any other form of learning disabilities for its precision and detail concerning the college classroom experience and how to make the most of it.
