    NEW YORK, Aug. 6 /EMWNews/ -- ADDitude magazine, the leading

publication for families and adults living with attention deficit disorder

(ADHD), has released a free, downloadable back-to-school handbook for the

parents and teachers of students with ADHD and learning disabilities.



    Top learning specialists and ADHD professionals contributed to 9 Ways

to Achieve Success at School

(http://www.additudemag.com/RCLP/sub/2728.html), the 14-page booklet that

contains proven strategies for:



    -- Securing appropriate academic accommodations via an Individualized

Education Plan (IEP) or 504 Plan



    -- Working with teachers and school administrators to begin the school

year right



    -- Talking with your child about his goals, fears, and challenges for

the year ahead



    -- Managing common ADHD symptoms like distractibility in the classroom



    -- Studying smarter and completing homework assignments on time



    -- Strengthening reading, writing, and math skills at every grade level



    -- Managing daytime doses of ADHD medication at school



    "Back-to-school time can be overwhelming -- even scary -- for children

with ADHD, especially if last year was rough," says Susan Caughman,

editor-in-chief of ADDitude. "This free handbook gives those students and

their parents the tools they need to begin this year with confidence and a

clear goal of success."



    What can you do now to ensure that your child begins her next school

year poised and prepared? Begin with ADDitude's summer checklist for

parents, then work through "10 Conversations to Have at the Start of the

Year," both included in 9 Ways to Achieve Success at School. Inside this
