Editorial Reviews

"I love Fidget to Focus. I want to congratulate you on this wonderful and unique contribution to the field. Your book was very informative about how the ADD brain works and current understanding about the disorder, as well as the numerous practical, helpful sensory strategies for self-regulation that you shared."
Sandra Rief
Author of How To Reach & Teach Children with ADD/ADHD:
Practical Techniques, Strategies, and Interventions

"Full of tips and strategies collected over years of shared experiences, Fidget to Focus is a gold mine of information and sometimes surprising, sometimes heart-warming stories about how to stay focused and on track, even when tasks are tedious, dull, or boring."
Thom Hartmann
Author of Attention Deficit Disorder: A Different Perception

"Fidgeting to stay focused... Imagine that! Sounds counterintuitive, but that is just what Dr. Roland Rotz and Coach Sarah Wright are recommending in their new book, Fidget to Focus. Advocating repetitive sensory-motor activities as a fundamental strategy for improving attention and other cognitive abilities, they present a unique and fun way to turn outer chaos to calm focus."
Patricia O. Quinn, MD
Director, National Center for Gender Issues and ADHD

Customer Comments

"Once I started to read the book, I couldn't put it down! I kept underlying so much on every page (one of the strategies I use to stay focused) and found many insights.
The book reads easily and flows well with stories I can relate to, clear information and understanding of ADD, and best of all, many strategies for living with ADD including an extensive workbook section that has been very helpful. Also the review and the end of the chapters is great to go back to. Highly educational and useful, I absolutely recommend this book!"

"There are several super books on the subject of Attention Deficit Disorder and each has sections that stand out. However, "Fidget To Focus" explains the reasons why people with ADD do the things they do AND offers excellent suggestions and solutions, too. What I like best about the book is that it isn't trying to change anyone but instead encourages readers to use their unique (and natural) tendencies to their advantage. Finally, the workbook in the back is an excellent resource for people who are really serious about finding ways to make the most of their ADD."
