Summary: StudyQuick System is an organizational and study system I developed for my ADD/ADHD students who were enrolled in my franchised learning centers in Tennessee. My centers were set up to help children who were not doing well in school by addressing skill gaps discovered after testing. However, over 90 percent of my callers were asking for help with problems involving missing homework, low test grades and poor organizational skills. Is your child getting D's and F's because of not turning in work, failing tests, losing or misplacing papers, forgetting assignments, not doing homework and making careless errors? Do you have to constantly "nag" your child to do chores, make the bed, feed the dog or even brush his teeth? Because of poor, "Executive Function" caused by Attention Deficit Disorder, these are everyday symptoms of ADHD which must be addressed differently to get different results. Written by a ADHD teacher who understands how ADHD affects life at school and at home, Pam Johnson has taught her teachers and parents how to compensate for the problems caused by ADHD This book shows you and your child quick and easy step-by-step solutions to these problems."--Back cover.
