I have learned much from Fintan O'Regan over the years and find I continue to do so, having just read the manuscript of this excellent book, written with Zoe Beezer, also a very experienced educationalist. It is full of up-to-date information and practical advice for parents and, indeed, teachers. It is refreshingly modern, accurate and includes findings from very recent research on how one can support a young person with ADHD. The authors relish lists and bullet points which makes it easy to use even if one has limited attention oneself. It deserves to be found (and read) in every household where there is a young person with ADHD.

Fin O'Regan is former Headteacher of one of the first specialist schools in the country of teaching and supporting children with ADHD and associated conditions. He is currently an ADHD and Neurodiversity Trainer and Consultant working with schools and families.Zoe Beezer runs her own educational consultancy and assessment business where she carries out SpLD assessment, advices and advocates for parents and provides training services and coaching. She is a qualified teacher, specialist assessor and is the mother of neurodivergent children.
