A Family's Quest for Rhythm: Living with Tourette, ADD, OCD and Challenging Behaviors

When their son, Matt, was diagnosed with ADD, OCD, ODD and TS in 1990, Kathy and Tony Giordano struggled to help their son reduce his severe symptoms that included neurological rage. In order to help families in similar situations, Kathy has presented nationally for the past 25 years to parents and educators focusing on understanding complex neurological disorders. She highlights the benefits of providing positive supports instead of the ineffective punishment on which we too often rely. Kathy shares her knowledge in this candid and inspiring book for families who are living with neuro-behavior diagnoses, and the professionals who support them. Readers have found this book invaluable as the Giordano’s discuss what they learned, what worked and what didn’t work. Matt’s, honest insights and suggestions for parents and child bring an additional clarity to the difficulties and strategies which have resulted in his success.
