Description

AD/HD has been known as a mental health disorder with many potential comorbidities for years. However, most of what we know about these comorbidities has been based on research done on children and adolescents with AD/HD, not adults. Part of the reason for this is that scientists have been studying ADHD in children and adolescents since the 1950’s and only began doing the same in adults with AD/HD in the 1990s. Another reason is that the longitudinal studies of adults with AD/HD have only recently been long enough to learn what the risks for comorbidity are over time for this population.

The purpose of this 3 hour webinar is to provide the latest research regarding what the most common mental, cognitive, and physical health comorbidities experienced by adults with AD/HD are, how to identify these comorbidities, and how the treatment of the adult changes with the comorbidity to help provide help for the entire client.

Dr. Kevin T. Blake, Licensed Psychologist

Dr. Blake is a recognized national authority on Specific Learning Disorder, AD/HD and Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in children, adolescents, and adults. He has specialized for over 30 years in Specific Learning Disorder, AD/HD and ASD and lives and works as a licensed psychologist in Tucson, Arizona.

Interest in these areas were spurred by his own struggles with trying to overcome Dyslexia with impairment in phonological processing, fluency, spelling and comprehension, as well as a severe sensorineural hearing loss which were all initially diagnosed at the age of 26 during his first year of a doctoral program. In the early 1980s, little was known about adults with Specific Learning Disorder. As Dr. Blake struggled to learn about his own Specific Learning Disorder, he decided to make his life’s work the diagnosis and treatment of adults with Specific Learning Disorder, AD/HD and autism spectrum disorder.

When Dr. Blake began his professional career, he was one of a handful of practitioners in the country with such a focus. Now he travels the country sharing his personal story and what he has learned about Specific Learning Disorder, AD/HD and Autism Spectrum Disorder with other professionals who work with these populations, individuals with these disorders, and their loved ones. Dr. Blake, an avid competitive cyclist, lives with his wife, a retired psychologist and their two dogs in Tucson.
