The content is fine but the material is listed as a simulation. I either missed a link or it should be listed differently.

I spent about fifteen minutes reading the different disorders listed. The
quality of the content was staight to the facts with no details. I think if
needing to learn or teach the basic facts about these disorders it would be
beneficial, but if there are any questions regarding speicifics of medications,
treatment, tips on how to handle behaviors for these disorders, the information
is not there. This is a very brief, straight to the point resource.

Technical Remarks:
I think it would be very easy for first time users to explore.

childhood disorders, such as ADHD and separation anxiety,was very informative.
The infornation is easy to understand and straight- forward.

I spent approximately 30 minutes reading about the four major childhood
behavioral
disorders--ADHD, conduct disorder, oppositional defiant disorder, and separation
anxiety--then, from the home page, I took a tour through several other links,
including continuing education in the field of psychology, careers available in
the same, as well as additional links to many interesting articles and
resources.
This is an excellent source for parents searching for explanations regarding
their child's abnormal behavior. Also for students researching childhood
behavioral disorders.
