Adolescents and Adults with Learning Disabilities and ADHD: Assessment and Accommodation by Noel Gregg and Donald D. Deshler List Price: $40.00 $40.00 At Amazon on 12-11-2008.

Product Review "Gregg's timely work contrasts the intensive services delivered to children with learning disabilities and ADHD to the relative dearth of efforts for these individuals as they transition into adulthood. Often unrecognized, minimized, or ignored, this 'silent epidemic' results in considerable cost to the individual and society. Thorough yet accessible, the book presents systemic assessment and intervention strategies designed to accommodate these individuals' learning and psychosocial needs." - James B. Hale, Department of Psychology, Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine, USA "Written by an expert in the field, this book is coherent and insightful. Gregg's coverage of up-to-date research is comprehensive, and she has an exceptional ability to identify and describe practical applications. The book meets a tremendous need." - H. Lee Swanson, Distinguished Professor of Educational Psychology and Peloy Chair, University of California, Riverside, USA "A great resource in an area that has many challenges. I particularly like the way the solid research base is translated into implications for assessment and accommodation. Loaded with valuable information, this book fills an important gap in the literature." - Martha L. Thurlow, Director, National Center on Educational Outcomes, University of Minnesota, USA "An exceptionally well-written, detailed, authoritative, and science-based review of appropriate educational accommodations for teens and adults with ADHD and/or LD, and the documentation needed to obtain them. It is the best contemporary treatment of this topic available. The book is rich with useful recommendations pertaining to multiple aspects of individual functioning, including cognitive, social, emotional, behavioral, and academic domains. Highly readable, instructive, and punctuated with informative case examples, this book should prove beneficial to clinicians, educators, and graduate students." - Russell A. Barkley, Department of Psychiatry, Medical University of South Carolina and State University of New York Upstate Medical University at Syracuse, USA Product Review "Gregg's timely work contrasts the intensive services delivered to children with learning disabilities and ADHD to the relative dearth of efforts for these individuals as they transition into adulthood.
