Product Description

Synopsis

Outlines a program to help children with ADD learn through the use of their powerful visual memory and heightened perceptions.


From the Author

More people need to focus on this key issue.
This book takes the unique approach that children with ADD are not necessarily broken. It unlocks the reasons behind the reality of why ADD is often mistaken for a visual learning style which clashes with the traditional school curriculum. The beauty of this book is that it gives concrete steps so that a parent or child can work effectively with this new breed of child. Much more needs to be unearthed about this emerging learning style, or we will all pay a heavy price. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

5.0 out of 5 stars Frustrated with you child's school system? Read this Book!, 10 Jun 1999
By A Customer
I have two boys--both are wonderful, yet both had difficulty with school. This book reveals that today's teaching methods may be(and are) 50 years out of date. It gives concrete ideas and methods that really will help your child feel successful. Schools often make your child feel like a failure. My eldest son had a hard time with spelling--after trying one of the examples with my son--he looked over the spelling list, turned it over in less than 30 seconds, and was then able to spell all words both foward and backwards--plus he knew all the definitions! He commented to me "Mom, am I a genius?" This was the breakthrough I needed to take this information to the schools. It gave me the tools to share with the school and show them what my son needed to be successful.

I believe in this book so much I buy all of my children's teachers an edition at Christmas! Some teachers "get it" some don't get the content but, it does stir up some conversation. I believe it is also worth sharing this book with school principal and superintendent as well.

AND JEFFERY--if you are out there--let's develop a school using your methods as a model! You are AWESOME! Thank you!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Guide for all teachers., 9 May 1999
By A Customer
I thought my child was learning disabled. This book proved that she is merely a right-brained visual learner. She is also ADHD and gifted. I couldn't understand why she had so much trouble with phonics and spelling. I've teased her that she has a teflon brain because some things just don't stick. Every week I help her with spelling using the visual method described in the book. She often makes A's depending on how much she practices. It's the only method that works for her. I also used the shortened version of teaching her long division and it worked like a miracle. Her teacher read the book and started making comments that she could add in her head much better than some of the others. This comment and other similar ones tremendously boosted her self-esteem. I am a teacher of gifted students also. This helped me understand many of my students that I thought were borderline ADHD. One parent was certain her child was dyslexic. After screening the child for dyslexia I finally proved to her that he is just right-brained. She was a little annoyed with me for teaching him how to spell backwards because now he spells much better backwards! She must think I put a real "spell" on him! I can't thank Dr. Freed enough for finally explaining why my so called "gifted" child couldn't spell simple words. He also made the connection of gifted and ADHD that I felt existed but couldn't prove or explain. I now understand the difference between gifted, ADHD, dyslexic, and right-brained children. I would like a sequel to the book because I've referred to it for other math problems but there was none. This book should be a requirement for ALL teachers!

5.0 out of 5 stars best ever read on add/should be required by all in teaching, 1 Oct 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Right-Brained Children in a Left-Brained World: Unlocking the Potential of Your Add Child (Hardcover)
I have never read a better book on add and adhd. my son has struggled with add all through school, but because he was not hyper (adhd) well behaved and never drew attention he was one of the thousands that slipped through the cracks of the system. we finally, with our own money (about $5000) found out his problem, and he is learning, but it has been a long, hard struggle. this book is so on target with these children. The problem isn't that these children can't learn, but that they learn in a different way. not a wrong way, just different. it should be required reading before a teacher is allowed to teach. every year i struggle through the process of visting teachers over and over to make sure my child is learning at grade level, and explaning his way of learning and what i need from them. i shouldn't have to do this. as much money as i pay in taxes my child should be getting the help he needs, but they can't provide it becasue they don't teach in a way these children can learn. great, great book..any parent struggling through add/adhd with a child must read it. not only does it pinpoint the problem, but makes you feel great about your child and his/her ability.
