Catherine, I suspect that ADD is simply one end of a normal continuum of neurological functionality, and perhaps not at the extreme tail of the bell-shaped curve, either. I'll have to take a look at the book you mentioned to see how they recommend dealing with it, but in my experience (years in school psychology) meds are the best way to cope for the average family that encounters the disorder. Few people have the resources and intestinal fortitude to embark on exacting behavioral interventions and meanwhile the kid suffers.
