Media Reviews
DuPaul and Stoner have once again produced a significant, 'must-read' volume. Recognizing ADHD as a complex neurocognitive disorder, the authors eloquently describe the importance of early screening and assessment for informing individualized supports, accommodations, and evidence-based interventions. The volume includes excellent case examples, highly useful strategies for communication and collaboration with other professionals and parents, and resources such as referral letters and relevant websites. Highly recommended. --Linda A. Reddy, PhD, School Psychology Doctoral Program, Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey

An exceptional resource for health care professionals and educators and an ideal text for graduate-level psychology and education courses. The third edition has been fully updated and expanded with the latest research, including advances in school-based screening and assessment, academic and behavioral interventions, promoting school-home collaboration, and medication management. Across all topics, state-of-the-art research findings are translated into clear, usable practices highlighted by pertinent case examples and ready-to-use tools and tips. This should be the standard guidebook for ADHD services in schools across the country. --Linda Pfiffner, PhD, Department of Psychiatry, University of California, San Francisco

Both authors are widely hailed as among the preeminent scholars in the area of ADHD and the schools. Both have decades of practical experience working with the schools and in conducting research in assessment and treatment of students with ADHD....All of the information provided is based on the best, most up-to-date scientific evidence available, and is refreshingly free of bias or any outside agendas....The authors have distilled the ocean of information into a manageable body that neither overwhelms potential readers nor skimps on critical information. --from the Foreword by Robert Reid, PhD, Department of Special Education and Communication Disorders, University of Nebraska-Lincoln

The third edition of this landmark text continues to provide the most comprehensive coverage regarding ADHD and schools that is available today. Written in a readable, informative style, the book covers it all--from causes and assessment of ADHD to effective interventions and ways to work with parents and professionals. This is an indispensable resource for school psychologists, general and special education teachers, and administrators dedicated to using up-to-date research to address the issues faced by students with ADHD. A 'must read.' --Karen R. Harris, EdD, Mary Emily Warner Professor, Mary Lou Fulton Teachers College, Arizona State University
