A good book for adults on the topic of helping kids with Learning Disabilities and ADHD with social problems is “It’s So Much Work to Be Your Friend” by Rick Lavoie. (The title comes from something he heard one kid say to another.) It’s predominately about kids with LD’s but a lot in the book also applies to ADHD.
Rick Lavoie is awesome. In Educator circles, he’s probably best know for the “F.A.T. City” video (Frustration, Anxiety, Tension) which puts the participants and the audience in the shoes of a person with an LD.
Here’s a bit of it here.
