Description
Explore the Relationship Between Executive Dysfunction and AD/HD
Organization, prioritizing, time and task management, self-regulation, and working memory are some of the components of executive function (EF) that have been the subject of much research and discussion. However, they are often vaguely defined and misunderstood. This leads to confusion, especially in how they relate to everyday activities such as school and work performance and social interactions. Imprecise understanding of EF leads to failed treatment strategies.
The purpose of this webinar is to examine the most current research- based influential models of EF. The primary focus will be on explaining what EF difficulties look like in those with Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD). By exploring the relationship between EF and AD/HD, participants will be able to devise more effective treatment strategies for their clients.

Kevin T. Blake, PhD, PLC, Related seminars and products
KEVIN T. BLAKE, PhD, PLC, is a recognized national authority with over 20 years of experience working with Autism Spectrum Disorder, specific learning disorder, and AD/HD in adolescents and adults. His interest in these were spurred by his own struggles to overcome his specific learning disorder-Dyslexia with impairment in phonological processing, spelling, fluency, and comprehension, as well as severe unspecified sensorineural hearing loss. These diagnoses occurred during the first year of his doctoral program, when not much was known about adults with specific learning disorder.
As Dr. Blake struggled to understand his own specific learning disorder, he decided to make his life's work about the diagnosis and treatment of adults with ASD, specific learning disorder, and AD/HD. When he started his professional life, Dr. Blake was one of only a handful of professionals in the country with such a focus. Now he travels the country sharing his personal story and what he has learned about ASD, specific learning disorder, AD/HD, and other neurobiological disorders with professionals who work with these populations, individuals with these disorders, and their loved ones.
Dr. Blake has been a member of several state and national organizations, a facilitator for a Tucson support group for adults with AD/HD for several years, and a published author, with articles appearing in Attention!, LDA Newsbriefs, and Perspectives (of the International Dyslexia Association). He was also a member of the LEAD 2000 Congress that advised the United States Congress regarding uses faced by citizens with specific learning disorder in the 21st century.
