Beyond Diagnosis: Living Well with ADHD connects an understanding of ADHD with practical ways to approach daily life. Written by clinical neuropsychologist Dr. Courtney Dookie, it includes clear explanations, fictional teaching cases, completed examples, and 26 worksheets.
Start with a situation that matters: beginning a task, managing a deadline, organizing a routine, preparing a school conversation, or bringing useful questions to an appointment.
Choose a starting route for adults, parents and caregivers, or teens with support. Additional chapters address girls and women, hormonal contexts, coexisting concerns, autism, and older adulthood.
