Review Quotes

"Raising a Girl with ADHD is a thought-provoking and critical resource for professionals and parents alike. While many of us feel we have a good understanding of ADHD and its impact, we sometimes miss the subtle (or significant) differences in the symptoms between boys and girls that can lead to girls' unique needs going undetected. This book comes at a crucial time when many are looking for unique strategies, and I will be adding this book to my recommendations for parents and clinicians!" --Dr. Dinorah D'Auria, PsyD
