Looking at AD/HD through a New Lens
The DSM-5's changes to Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (AD/HD) are already pitching curveballs to behavioral healthcare professionals. Will existing patients meet the current criteria for their diagnoses? What should be done with patients who were previously diagnosed with dropped disorders?
This live seminar updates clinicians on revisions to these conditions, identifying changes to the diagnostic process and their impact on treatment plans in children, adolescents, and adults. The logic driving these changes will be examined, and effective strategies for managing patients who were previously diagnosed with dropped disorders will be outlined. Examine the latest information on brain anatomy differences in those with AD/HD and discuss breakthrough treatments that may be able to relatively normalize brain anatomy. Finally, helpful technological aids and environmental adaptations for children, adolescents, and adults with AD/HD will be covered.
Born hearing-impaired and dyslexic (Specific Learning Disorder – Reading), Dr. Kevin Blake understands both sides of the learning disorder equation. Learn which practical techniques really work from a patient's perspective to make your clients' lives easier, as well as your own. Specific treatments for the most common difficulties experienced by those with AD/HD will be covered in depth. This comprehensive seminar is a MUST for anyone who works with clients who have AD/HD.

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.
