1. INTRODUCTION

1.2. This handbook is meant to provide an overview of ADHD/ADD for:
- Parents with ADHD/ADD child(ren)
- Teachers of ADHD/ADD children

1.3. This handbook is intentionally kept brief to make easy reading for people (especially for teachers and parents who are new to the ADHD/ADD problem). The drawback is that some explanations may be too brief for the reader to understand the exact message to be communicated.
1.4. Where there are repetitions on the tips provided, just take them as tips that are more often mentioned in different sources:
- Such tips should work fairly well or they will not appear in other sources
- Also, such repetition will help you remember the more useful points/tips that you may want to take note of.
