Cracking the ADD Code
Cracking the ADD Code: Why Outcomes Haven’t Changed And How They Can
After nearly 60 years of treating the symptoms of ADHD/ADD with drugs outcomes for children and adults with this difference have remained unchanged and unacceptable. In this book I examine why the one pill fits all mentality has not worked. I will discuss the biological, neurological, and learning differences these individuals face that comprise the underlying causes of ADHD/ADD and how these characteristics can be balanced.
The role of sugar in ADHD/ADD symptoms is thoroughly examined and interventions are outlined to address this facet of the difference. I will outline simple interventions for each of the three areas of challenge that when combined can serve to unleash the genius of these individuals and create successful outcomes. To achieve the greatest success all three of the areas of difference must be addressed.
ADHD/ADD individuals are strong visual thinkers which means, they think in pictures vs. words. While this can be a great disadvantage in the classroom (as it is typically set up now) it actually is a much faster (hundreds of times faster) and preferred way of processing. This is why those who overcome their liabilities most often go on to achieve amazing things.
In the final chapter of the book I address the power of the subconscious mind in creating limitations and why becoming conscious parents is particularly necessary for ADHD/ADD individuals whom I call Creative Risk Takers. While there is a genetic component to ADHD/ADD a child?s genes speak to their potential not their fate. With proper balance, protection, nourishment, and guidance this potential is unlimited.

More then thirteen million children and countless adults live the experience of A.D.D.. Sadly 35% become school dropouts, 10% are victims of suicide (10 times the national average), and over 50% fall prey to drugs and alcohol and or have problems with the law. Years of research have led to the management of symptoms, however these statistics show that it has not substantially improved outcomes for children with differences. With A.D.D. being identified in larger numbers it is time for a new perspective.
The Gift of ADD presents a three-step process to address ADD. You will learn the primary causes of ADD symptoms and how to address the causes of these symptoms to impact behavior and learning and allow these children to express their many gifts. You will learn many practical tools to implement in the classroom and home and how and why these children learn differently.
Parents will learn helpful information to help them become better advocates for their children in order to receive the necessary interventions they need. Whether you are a creative risk taker yourself or a caretaker of one, this book is an invaluable guide.
