Reviews"Cory has ADHD. In short stories and poems, he describes how it affects his day-to-day life, his relationships, and his schoolwork. Cory Stories offers age-appropriate introductions to ADHD treatments like medication, counseling, and behavior modifications. If your child has difficulty coming to terms with his ADHD or his treatment plan, this is a great book to help him understand he isn't alone."-- ADDitude Magazine " Cory's Stories presents a nice, straightforward depiction of a child with ADHD who children can relate to, regardless or whether or not they share Cory's condition....It's not a comprehensive guide to ADHD, but it does present a character whose experiences will be relatable to children who have the same condition and help make those who don't more empathetic and understanding. The pictures go well with the text and add some humor to the story (I particularly liked his mad face when he talked about first grade being worse than kindergarten), and they do a good job of showing Cory's active side."-- Books, Bytes and a Few Other Things "There are more and more books coming out for kids with ADHD, and this is a nice one."-- Impact ADHD

SynopsisIn short statements and vignettes, Cory describes what it's like to have ADHD. Cory has lots of stories to tell--and lots of ways to get organized, pay attention, calm down, remember things, make friends, and feel good about himself and life with ADHD. In short statements and vignettes, Cory describes what it's like to have ADHD: how it affects his relationships with friends and family, his school performance, and his overall functioning. He also describes many ways of coping with ADHD: medication, therapy/counseling, and practical tips for school, home, and friendships. Includes a Note to Parents. Did you every feel like there's a jumping bean inside of you even when you are trying to sleep? I do. I feel wiggly and itchy almost all the time! I love to be excited, but sometimes I get too excited. I wish I had a power switch, like the TV. Then I could turn myself off. (CLICK!), In short statements and vignettes, Cory describes what it's like to have ADHD: how it affects his relationships with friends and family, his school performance, and his overall functioning. He also describes many ways of coping with ADHD: medication, therapy/counseling, and practical tips for school, home, and friendships.
