This resource can benefit all students but it is particularly helpful for those students who are struggling with boundary issues related to symptoms of ADHD, Asperger syndrome, Reactive Attachment Disorder, Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and codependency.

Each chapter covers a specific aspect of boundaries and can be used as single session if only selected activities and worksheets are used.
