Tigers, Too is the long awaited second book by the authors Marilyn P. Dornbush, Ph.D. and Sheryl K. Pruitt, M.Ed., ET/P. Their first book, Teaching the Tiger, which sold greater than forty thousand copies in the United States, was also translated into several languages including Japanese, Spanish, Icelandic, and Norwegian. There last book was a groundbreaking book about what to do when you have Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD), Tourette syndrome (TS), and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder(OCD). This new book, Tigers, Too, has additional Tigers to manage, Executive Dysfunction, Processing Speed Disorder, and memory deficits. Like the first book, this book is a practical, how-to reference guide that can be opened to a specific problem that a teacher, healthcare professional, or parent has a question about and there they can find simple, clear strategies that work. This book will be an important resource for those who are struggling to work with children, adolescents and young adults with ADHD, TS, and OCD that also have the associated disorders of Executive Dysfunction, Processing Speed Disorder and memory deficits. Upon reading the manuscript, Richard Lavoie said: This book belongs on every parent s bookshelf and in every teacher s lounge. The information contained in these pages will make a tremendous impact on your child...and you. Richard D. Lavoie, M.A., M.Ed., Educational Consultant, Author, Executive Producer, Fat City Video

This book is a supplement to Tigers, Too, which offers comprehensive recommendations for addressing deficits associated with executive dysfunction, slow processing speed, and memory problems - impairments which often interfere with a student s academic, behavioral, and social functioning. When planning workable solutions to handle these difficulties, individuals involved in the education of the student can readily answer the who, what, when, and where of the problem. An in depth assessment identifies why. Answering the question of how is more problematic. Tigers, Too provides numerous intervention strategies; however, the suggestions are not appropriate for all students. It is the responsibility of teachers, parents, and other professionals working with each individual student to set specific goals, to consider solutions to the student s problems, to analyze the positive and negative consequences of each idea, and to determine strategies which can be carried out efficiently and successfully. Checklists of Objectives and Interventions was designed as an aide for identifying, organizing, and developing an effective educational program for the individual student. The outline of the book is based on the one established in Tigers, Too (arousal and speed of processing; attention, inhibition, and activity level; executive function; memory; the seven areas of academic proficiency; study skills; testing; and social competence). The checklist includes interventions that personnel who are involved in the process of trying to meet the needs of the student might consider and implement.

Assessment is a supplement to Tigers, Too, a book which offers comprehensive recommendations for addressing deficits associated with executive dysfunction, slow processing speed, and memory problems in students with ADHD, Tourette syndrome and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder - impairments which often interfere with a student's academic, behavioral, and social functioning. Each highlighted test provides the diagnostician with the appropriate age range and a list of abilities required for the student to perform successfully. The administration of multiple tests will establish a pattern of strengths and weaknesses and commonality of approaches to problem solving. This information, combined with observations of test-taking behaviors, can be used to design and implement meaningful interventions.
