In the Annotated Bibliography of
"Learning A Living" A Guide to
Planning Your Career and Finding a Job
for People with Learning Disabilities,
Attention Deficit Disorder, and Dyslexia,
I wrote:
A comprehensive book, explaining the
positives and negatives of ADD in the
workplace. The book is written for people
who are already working and does not
include job hunting informaiton. Personal
coping skills and accommodations for
employers are described. The book covers
possibilities for self-employment,
telecommuting, an other ways of
"customizing" your own job. Two
combinations are covered in separate
chapters: women with ADD and people with
ADD who also have learning
disabilities."
I would like to add a few other
points:
1. The book is beautifully laid out in
an "ADD-friendly" manner that
makes it easy to read.
2. The author speaks in a respectful
tone to the reader.
3. She is very positive about ADD.
If you have ADD, this book will add to
your repertoire of skills in handling
work issues.

VALUABLE RESOURCE FOR
ANYONE WHO HAS ADD, November 8, 1999
Reviewer:

Kathleen Nadeau's book ADD IN THE
WORKPLACE addresses those issues and
problems which arise at work. It gives
reliable information, and good
suggestions. It not only helps the ADD
adult understand and improve his or her
work experiences but also gives them a
better understanding of ADD and its
effects on their lives. It is an easy to
read, 'user friendly' book which I
recommend to all my adult and college
aged clients who are either in the
workplace or wanting to get there.
Thanks Kathleen for writing a great
book!
