Affectionately called Dr. Dave, he has won numerous honors and awards for his thirty years of devoted work in offering drug-free treatment and parenting alternatives for the most difficult and out-of-control-children and teens. He has been listed in Who's Who Among America's Teachers for many years; he is a diplomate, he was awarded the 2001 outstanding teacher and scholar at Longwood; and his research on ADD/ADHD treatment was selected as one of the top ten for media coverage at the 1998 American Psychological Association convention. His book Ritalin is Not the Answer was endorsed as required reading by all parents, educators, and doctors at the 2001 Ritalin Litigation Conference in New York. Increasingly, pediatricians and family physicians, especially since his work was featured in the 2001 text Advances in Medicine, are prescribing his books as an alternative to drugs, and as they report, with excellent success. When asked to describe himself, he readily states "My most important position is being Dad to three wonderful children."
