| Review | "From ADD (Attention Deficit Disorder) to ZS (Zellweger Syndrome) - there are alphabet disorders for almost every medical condition, from those caused by serious, rare genetic diseases to more common learning disabilities that hinder children's academic and social progress." "Alphabet Kids have disorders that are often concurrent, interconnected or mistaken for one another, for example, the frequent combination of ASD, OCD, APD, SID and ADD - hence, "Alphabet Kids." If a doctor only diagnoses one condition, he or she may have missed others. As the rates of these disorders dramatically rise, Alphabet Kids explains it all. Robbie Woliver covers more than 70 different childhood disorders, providing information on causes, cures, treatments and prognoses. Chapters include a comprehensive list of signs and symptoms, and most of the disorders are illustrated with sometimes heartbreaking, but always inspirational true-life stories of a child with the particular disorder." "This easy-to-read go-to guide will help parents and professionals to sort through all the interconnected childhood developmental, neurobiological and psychological disorders and serve as a roadmap to help start the families' journey for correct diagnoses, effective treatment and better understanding of their Alphabet Kids."--Jacket. |
