From the Publisher

Where can parents learn how to help the schools help their child? What do you tell the school once a diagnosis has been made? Where can teachers learn how to teach these children? Where can you learn to help your child? In Teaching The Tiger

From the Author

Innovative methods of teaching children with Attention-deficit-disordered children, Tourette syndrome in children, Obsessive-compulsive disorder in children. A guide for parents and teachers.

From the Back Cover

As Chairperson of the Educational Committee for the National Tourette Syndrome Association, I have had the opportunity to review many publications on the education of students with TS. Teaching the Tiger is by far the finest piece of work in its field I have ever read. This book is very well organized, extremely complete in dealing with all of Tourette Syndrome and its associated disorders, insightful and most practical. Not only will the reader obtain an in-depth understanding of what living with these neurological disorders is like, but will also be provided with all the skills and interventions necessary in providing services for these children in an educational setting. This book is a must for all parents of children with TS and all educational personnel working with children diagnosed with TS, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. For those children it will help, I offer my sincerest gratitude for helping them to understand their world and reach their fullest potential.

Susan A. Conners, Chairperson Educational Committee, National TSA

As an originator of the OC Foundation and an OCD survivor whose onset was in childhood, my excitement anticipating each page was never disappointed. Targeting children for early diagnosis and treatment is the "why" of the conception of the OC Foundation. To save a child from the pain of OCD with arrested social skills and deflated confidence, which can erode a child's life, is a major goal for us all.

Fran Sydney, Founder, Obsessive-Compulsive Foundation

Brava! At last a groundbreaking look at the intricate and often confusing relationships between ADD, Tourette syndrome, OCD and LD . . . educational strategies are simply stated but never simplistic . . . The authors have drawn on their vast experience teaching and treating children with neurological impairments to offer sound educational strategies and practical insights for dealing with common problems at school and at home. If we could just make this book required reading at every school and teacher's college in America! Our teachers are in desperate need of this information.

Marie Maran, Co-president CH.A.D.D. Westchester County

Dornbrush and Pruitt's handbook, Teaching the Tiger, is a marvellous compendium of wisdom, gained through experience. This book will prove to be a frequently used reference for anyone involved with children and adults who suffer from these invisible neurological handicaps . . . As a private practitioner, every chapter proved to be of practical use and assistance. "The Story of Mother Vowel," in the Appendix, alone was worth the price of the book . . . these two writers understand what each and every child and adult go through when they suffer from these conditions . . . I cannot recommend the book enough. I know that it will become a desk manual that I will use on a regular basis.

CLASSROOM-Specific TS Info for Teachers!!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2004

Verified Purchase

I love this book, which I have found invaluable in educating my son's teachers about the disorder. It is basically a compilation of information that any well read TS parent has probably found in 20 different locations, but for the novice looking for a thorough overview in one book, "Teaching The Tiger" goes a LONG way toward increasing their TS education. It gives practical advise re behavioral interventions that work, and more importantly those that DON'T.
I find teachers are more receptive to this book because it is written specifically for teachers (rather than taking advise/instuction from a parent). I've found it to be quite credible and informative to them. I believe the answer to stigma, ignorance, and misinformation (ex: the 20/20-60 Minutes/media representation of TS), is education. This book provides it, specifically aimed at giving teachers tips on dealing with TS in the CLASSROOM environment. My son's teachers have been really grateful for these TS-specific insights.
If you can afford the $35 for this book, DO! It is a worthwhile investment into making your child's educational road a smoother one. In the meantime, you may be able to do what I did. I borrowed a copy from the library and made photo copies of the most relevant chapters for each teacher/aide involved with my son. I also either showed them the book itself or made a photocopy of the cover, in case they wanted to purchase/borrow the entire book themselves. If you have a good relationship with the principal or school librarian, suggesting that the school purchase a copy for the staff library is also practical.
Those are my two cents, on "Teaching The Tiger". "Taming the Tiger" came first and provides a similar compilation of info for parents and others learning about TS. I hope you'll check out these books for yourself.

This is a great book! My daughter has Tourette's, ADHD and Anxiety. I am always looking for ways to help her with her homework. She is 8 and in the 3rd grade. She is struggling in math, reading and with written expression. I brought this book to my last meeting for her 504 plan and showed everyone some of the ideas that may help her. I have been looking for a book to give me something that would let me know how I could help her. This book gives some great ideas. I will also be using some of these ideas at home with her. I only wish I knew about this book sooner!

Love the color & it's very sturdy. It was helpful to have 2 people put it together. A friend had one who put glider in 2nd to last hole & when you rocked... You flipped out. So I made sure that I put glider in back hole(as directions state) & used the 2nd to last hole for connecting the chair frame. Took about 2 hours (with help) to put together.

Great teaching book.

Good material for an educator. The organization of the handbook is a little confusing and I don't think I realized it was a full spiral handbook rather than a big, bound handbook. Overall, besides the look of it, I am glad to use it as a resource.

The book was in great shape as advertised. We have used it in my school to help us determine what students need.

I would recommend every parent get this book! I was so new to the whole tourettes, add, ocd etc I was beginning to think I would never feel good about how to parent my child properly. I have learned how to talk to the school on his behalf.
