Two books (All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome and All Dogs Have ADHD
both by Kathy Hoopmann) that use a novel, photographic approach to
exploring the characteristic personality traits of ADHD and
Asperger's Syndrome... Must-have titles for parents with children
diagnosed with either of these conditions, and also for Special
Needs co-ordinators and Inclusion Manager... Both highly
recommended.
*ACHUKA children's blog*
all dogs have ADHD is part of a picture book series along with all
cats have Asperger's syndrome, exploring through images the
challenges of living with attention deficit and hyperactivity
disorder (ADHD) in a gentle and humorous way. The pictures and
captions present life situations with a thoughtful understanding
and focus, too, on positive ways' to channel an ADHD child's energy
and talents.
*British Psychological Society, Debate*
This sequel to All Cats Have Asperger Syndrome takes the same
approach, matching adorable animal photos with the particular
traits of children with the disorder. It's an extremely accessible
formula, and one that has the potential not only to inform, but to
make kids with ADHD feel better about themselves by comparison to
such cool critters.
*About.com*
I would commend this book as an excellent work to alleviate
patients' and parents' concerns, and to introduce the condition to
those who may be having difficulty seeing any positives in their
lives at the time of diagnosis.
*ADHD in Practice*
This is an absorbing and insightful photo-illustrated read, which
takes a really refreshing approach to understanding ADHD. This is
an uplifting book for anyone, but especially dog lovers, and those
wanting to help children they know with ADHD.
*EYE Early Years Educator*
It is a book that parents and children can look at together. The
photographs are wonderful and suit the dialogue. It is bright and
optimistic and implies, with the right help, the child with ADHD
will do well. The book also explains the syndrome clearly in simple
photographs. The lettering and dialogue are clear and
understandable... It is a lovely happy book.
*Hyperactive Childrens Support Group*
Although All Dogs Have ADHD is categorized as juvenile literature,
and will certainly appeal to many children, I highly recommend it
as a "treatment" for tired parents of children with ADD/ADHD and
other special needs -- after all, laughter heals."
*ADDitude: Living Well with Attention Deficit*
Clearly the author writes from personal experience as she
understands the issue so well. This book would give encouragement
and reassurance to a child who has been diagnosed with ADHD and the
light-hearted insights into the condition would be helpful for
parents and siblings as well.
*Home Education Advisory Service*
Absorbing and delightful, this book, with its vivid and amusing
photography, takes a refreshing approach to understanding ADHD. It
combines humour with understanding to reflect the joys and
challenges of raising a child who is different.
*Northern Rivers magazine*
All Dogs Have ADHD, like its predecessor, All Cats Have Asperger's
Syndrome (Hoopmann, 2006) is designed as a teaching aid to help
young children to understand their classmates' behaviour or, if you
prefer, behavioural disorders. Bright pictures of jolly exuberant
dogs with simply worded one-sentence captions in large print make
this an ideal tool for the purpose... All Dogs Have ADHD is a handy
teaching tool.
