Day 1 of Kerin Bellak-Adams’ Virtual Book Tour At The National Writing For Children’s Center

Meet Author Kerin Bellak-Adams

Welcome to Day 1 of my 6-day virtual tour for my new book AD/HD Success! Solutions for Boosting Self-Esteem The Diary Method Ages 7-17. Several different factors led to the writing of this unusual book.

I am the daughter of renowned Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) pioneer and noted psychiatrist, Dr. Leopold Bellak. As a mature adult and after his passing, I became interested in the subject by reading one of his many books. The one in particular represented a conference back in 1979 which he chaired on ADD and then later wrote a book about. This intrigued me to the point where I attended my first ADHD conference, where Dr. Ed Hallowell introduced me to a room full of mental health professionals as a new ADD coach and daughter of Dr. Bellak. Dr. Hallowell soon became my mentor and inspired me to go further in AD/HD. Most recently, I became a para-professional consulting with a child suffering from AD/HD in a public school. My success was so thrilling with him and other children in the class that this book derived from that amazing experience.
