This book was released on 2018-04-02 with total page 270 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For more than forty years, Drs. Nancy O'Dell and Patricia Cook have worked tirelessly to develop and refine the revolutionary Bender Exercise Program, which can significantly diminish or entirely eliminate the behavior associated with ADD/ADHD and LD. Medications are the primary treatments currently utilized. But these drugs treat only the symptoms of the disorder, not the underlying causes. What's more, their use is usually accompanied by adverse side effects. Fortunately, you no longer have to depend on potentially dangerous medications to "solve" the problem of ADD/ADHD and LD. In Stopping ADD/ADHD and Learning Disabilities, the authors present their drug-free solution. In addition to detailing an eight-month exercise program, illustrated with photographs, the authors offer ways to work around the problem in school, at home, during sports activities, and in public settings. This revised and updated edition also includes findings from the authors' most recent studies; provides the latest information on negative side effects of many drugs used to treat ADD/ADHD and LD; and addresses potentially harmful current practices in baby care--such as the use of walkers and baby swings, and keeping babies on their backs nearly all the time--and their surprising roles in the development of ADD/ADHD and LD behaviors. It's clear that there's an urgent need for alternative therapies and smarter choices for the treatment of ADD/ADHD and LD. That's what Stopping ADD/ADHD and Learning Disabilities is all about.

Download or read book ADD ADHD Alternatives in the Classroom written by Thomas Armstrong and published by ASCD. This book was released on 1999 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to a kid to be labeled attention-deficit disordered (ADD)? Or to have "hyperactive" added to the label (ADHD)? What can teachers do to boost the success of students with attention and behavioral difficulties? Are we relying too much on medication for these kids and not enough on new perspectives on learning, child development, the child's socioeconomic and cultural background, biological and psychological research, and the learner's emotional and social needs? Armstrong urges educators and parents to look for the positive characteristics in learners who may carry the ADD/ADHD label. Are they bursting with energy? Are they intensely creative? Do they enjoy hands-on learning? Are they natural leaders? Are they unusually introspective and reflective? We need to look beyond a "deficit" approach and embrace a more holistic view of learners that includes teaching to their multiple intelligences, learning styles, and other brain-friendly approaches. For example, here are some classroom activities for kids who "can't sit still" Learning spelling words by having kids jump up out of their seats on the vowels and sit down on the consonants. Mastering the multiplication tables by forming a conga line, moving around the classroom counting from 1 to 30 out loud, and on every multiple of 3 shaking their hips and legs. Showing patterns of molecular bonding in chemistry class through a "swing your atom" square dance.
Download or read book Learning Outside The Lines written by Jonathan Mooney and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning with YOUR purpose in mind -- not your parents', not your teacher's, not your school's Every day, your school, your teachers, and even your peers draw lines to measure and standardize intelligence. They decide what criteria make one person smart and another person stupid. They decide who will succeed and who will just get by. Perhaps you find yourself outside the norm, because you learn differently -- but, unlike your classmates, you have no system in place that consistently supports your ability and desire to learn. Simply put, you are considered lazy and stupid. You are expected to fail. Learning Outside the Lines is written by two such "academic failures" -- that is, two academic failures who graduated from Brown University at the top of their class. Jonathan Mooney and David Cole teach you how to take control of your education and find true success -- and they offer all the reasons why you should persevere. Witty, bold, and disarmingly honest, Learning Outside the Lines takes you on a journey toward personal empowerment and profound educational change, proving once again that rules sometimes need to be broken.
