This is not a book for treating ADHD specifically. The authors attempt to get to the source of ADHD rather than treat the symptoms. The theory, which is explained in the first half of the book, is that ADHD is caused by physical discomfort and not a mental condition in of itself. The theory is that children either miss a vital stage of development in which they learn to crawl or they fail to adequately develop physiologically during that period (which should last at least six months according to the authors). According to the authors 75% of ADHD cases are caused by children who do not develop correctly. The second half of the book is essentially a physical therapy program in which an adult working with a child can overcome the child's deficiencies.I DO NOT RECOMMEND this book FOR ADULTS suffering from ADHD.The authors may be on to something in searching for the cause of ADHD in discomfort (they made me a believer) but the type of discomfort that fits their theory doesn't apply to me.They claim that their therapy program has been effective in healing the body and stopping ADHD at the source. Considering the favorable reviews given before mine I would assume that the physical-therapy program has been successful for the other reviewers. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND this book to grade-school teachers who are in the best position to notice the type of behavior described in the book in their students and have the opportunity to share the book with the child's parents when diagnosis may be possible.
