How To Get Togetherness is a 215-page workbook about improving relationships in families and classrooms where attention deficit/hyperactivity disorders and oppositional defiant disorders daily challenge patience, resilience, and emotional well-being. Teachers and parents learn each other's points of view, and become part of the solution to each other's challenges.

How To Get Togetherness invites adults and children to take action in four areas:

To communicate in ways that raise self-esteem To calm the internal and external environment To build trust using behavior agreements To consider the pros and cons of medication

The book encourages parents and teachers to rely on their instincts and observations and offers recommendations on ways of improving relationships before resorting to medication. The book offers a variety of approaches that can be used in the family and classroom and guides parents and teachers in ways of selecting the strategies that work best for them.
