Cecil R. Reynolds - The Energetic Brain: Understanding and Managing ADHD

More Praise for The Energetic Brain

Creative yet authoritative... Reynolds, Vannest, and Harrison have created an important new work that stands apart from the hundreds of books on this topic. The Energetic Brain is a must read for parents, educators, professionals, and adults living with ADHD. This book has moved to number one on my short list of recommended readings for patients and professionals on this topic.

Sam Goldstein, PhD, editor-in-chief, Journal of Attention Disorders

If you have ADHD or love someone who has ADHD, this practical, reader-friendly book is a must for your bookshelf. At lastscience-based explanations of ADHD that are easy to understand and apply to life success. Hats off to Dr. Cecil Reynolds, a true Renaissance Man, and his co-authors.

Alan S. Kaufman, PhD, Clinical Professor of Psychology, Yale University

Both authoritative and accessible; the authors provide parents with practical tools that are informed by the best science available.

Randy Kamphaus, dean, College of Education, Georgia State University, and Distinguished Research Professor, Counseling and Psychological Services, Georgia State University

The Energetic Brain is practical, easy to understand, and applicable for parents and teachers alike. After reading this book, I feel more confident in my knowledge of ADHD and am better prepared to advocate for my students. I now know what to keep in mind throughout the IEP process, and understand how the ADHD brain works. This is a must read for all who want a greater understanding of ADHD.

Lauren Williams, parent and special education teacher, Bryan, Texas

The Energetic Brain is one of the few books on ADHD that captures the interface between behavioral and academic concerns, and provides useful suggestions for both teachers and parents.
