What our customer's say!

"A book based in reality", Every book I've ever gotten about A.D.D. focus on diagnosing and medicating the symptoms. Mooney and Cole go into actually living with the pluses and minuses that A.D.D. brings to the table. They cover so many different areas of learning with suggestions on each and multiple suggestions at that. It's very helpful to someone who doesn't want A.D.D. to rule their future academic prospects.
(PS I use A.D.D. instead of A.D.H.D. because not all of us are hyper, some are hypo)

"Learning Outside the Lines: My Review", Does a great job in giving you a better understanding of what society deems as important, how to interpret/deal with that understanding, along with use your own unique strengths to get results in easier, fun, and less depressing manner. Good book to have in your mental repertoire.

"Awesome book for people with or without ADHD", Anybody can use the great tips and techniques in this book from students who procrastinate on studying to people with ADD or ADHD that have a hard time focusing on studying and preparing for projects and tests. I highly recommend this to anyone who has difficulty with school regardless if you have ADD or ADHD or not.

"Extremely Disappointing", I purchased this book because I have ADHD, I am in college and I am struggling some with test performance and grades (GPA is 3.65 but I want to increase it). I found *nothing* about what I was searching for in this book, and here's why.

For one, the first part "deviant minds", the one telling the school story of the two authors, is no use whatsoever, because it constantly blames the system (which doesn't work for ADHDers, true, but DOES work for 85% of people --- and they omit reporting this essential data). On top of it, the two stories are about how the entire world should be preoccupied with accommodating LD/ADHD kids as if nothing else mattered. Furthermore, the whole take on non-LD/ADHD people's feelings and behaviours (especially teachers) is *very* confrontational and displays an overall (and well-known) lack of empathy that many ADHDers have toward whoever doesn't have either LD or ADHD. As I also am a significant other of people with ADHD (my mom, a coworker, some other friends), I found it *appalling* to see how the strains that ADHD puts on relationships are completely overlooked when not entirely blamed on others, abuse included.

A second reason I don't suggest this book is, it's full of useless advices, such as "when the teacher says the word example it means he is about to give you an example" (I have ADHD, I'm not *dumb*!!!), "make summaries" (I know I'm supposed to summarize but the ADHD-related difficulties with summarizing are *precisely* linked to the fact that we see ALL the endless ways to do it... how about providing strategies to sort out which way works best in a specific contest???), "structure your answer" (yeah, how clever! That's what I've been told since grammar school... care to provide a template or at least explain *how* to do it??). When conflicting advices are given (like in the case of multiple ways of taking notes), there is no explanation on how to figure out which way might work best for the individual and/or the specific situation. They only say "do what's best for you", again, yeah right I've been trying to figure that one out for my whole life -- care to help some for 15 dollars?

A third reason I found this book useless is that it gives you no strategy for memorization... so if you are in medical school (like me), law school, are becoming a pharmacist or a vet or simply are facing an exam that isn't some dumb English Literature or Writing class, you can safely skip this book and buy *any* other available one.

Finally, having ADHD is about overcoming one's shortcomings, whereas the authors try to teach you how to cheat the system. In the specific, they teach you several tricks to pretend that you've studied something well enough that you manage to get higher grades. However, what I was trying to do was, getting higher grades as a consequence of having *really* learnt something!!!

In other words, unless all you are a victim and all you're interested into is cheating the system and never *really* face the challenges that comes with ADHD, run away, it's not for you.

"EVERYONE should read this book.", I have always thought that there is a piece of ADHD in everyone. Some people has a bigger piece, some people has a tiny piece. How can anyone be so "perfect"? My children are not "scientifically" diagnosed to be ADHD. But there are times when they can be showing bits of "symtoms" of ADHD.
I was in tears when I read about what happened to young Jonathan and young David. It must have been hard for them and their parents.
Everyone should read this book.
Parts of this book are going to help you with raising your own child since, like I said, everyone has bits of ADHD, and you just never know when anything in this book would come in handy.
Plus, we should also try to UNDERSTAND why some other children are doing what they have done. They are not ill and they are not stupid. It is just that they cannot walk within the lines like everyone else. Yet they CAN still learn and bloom, only that, just like the title of the book, they need to do it "outside the lines".

"This book changed my life in college.", I read Learning Outside the Lines my Freshmen year in College and it changed my life. I have a math learning disability and also ADD. The book helped me in developing better study habits and note taking skills. It is also helped me realize having a learning disability does not make me any less intelligent. If you are a college student and have a learning disability or ADD, get this book!

"Required Reading", This book should be required reading for everyone who is pursuing a teaching career. To say it was (and is) a tragedy how these two young men where treated is an understatement. It is also a tragedy if anyone thinks their stories are exceptions and not the rule. Students who learn differently are almost always treated in a horrible way. Read this book and learn from it. It would be great if this also had an audio book version so that the Dyslexic student could hear the book since reading the printed word is often so difficult.

"A must read for all educators and parents with LD/ADD kids!", I am a high school special education teacher and I work with students who have learning disabilities/ADD, and I love this book! I have been reading it and frantically writing on post-it notes to tag the info I want to share with my students in the Fall. Jonathan's personal story is heart breaking and I wish all teachers (especially those in elementary) could read this book and just realize what an incredible impact their words have on students for years and years. I am fortunate to be working in a progressive school district where we really try to do what's in the kid's best interest. I'm also a big believer in teaching all students self-advocacy and self-determination skills so that they (not their parents or their SpEd teacher) can take control of their education and their lives, which is really one of the main messages in this book.

This book was so well written to speak to the target audience of a high school/college student. It is a great read full of Leterman style humor. I love the chapter titles such as "Read less, get more A's" and "Cram Like a Pro." I've also purchased this book for a family member who's not LD or ADD, but has never been a strong student. I love, love, love the simple, yet effective strategies Jonathan gives in the book.

So if you're a Special Ed teacher and you need some new strategies to give your students, or if your child is a struggling LD/ADHD student I highly suggest that you get this book and read it. Get a pen and post-it notes ready. :)

"For someone with a new diagnosis or wondering why...", Great book to help someone feel that they are not alone in this world. The style is easy to follow, which is a plus for us reading this book. I especially liked the summary at the end of each chapter. Also, reading your personal accounts of how you handled situations were interesting too. As I was not familiar with your eye-to-eye program, I hope as others read about this that the program will spread. Thank you both for being transparent.

"Learning outside the lines", This books takes a unique perspective, and is very helpful for me (both as a student with a learning disability and as a future teacher).

Quick shipping and very good service!

Thanks!
