Nationally Recognized Expert Lecturer and Consultant on Learning Disorders and AD/HD

Dr. Blake is a recognized national authority on Learning Disorders and AD/HD in adolescents and adults. He has specialized for over 20 years in Learning Disorders and AD/HD and lives and works as a licensed psychologist in Tucson, Arizona. The interest in Learning Disorders and AD/HD were spurred by his own struggles trying to overcome his Reading Disorder-Dyslexia and hearing impairment, which were initially diagnosed during his first year of his doctoral program at the age of 26. At the time, the early 1980s, not much was known about adults with Learning Disorders. As Dr. Blake struggled to learn about his own Learning Disorder he decided to make his life's work the diagnosis and treatment of adults with Learning Disorders and AD/HD. When he started his professional life, he was one of 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 Learning Disorders, AD/HD and other neurobiological disorders with professionals who work with these populations, individuals with these disorders, and their loved ones.

Dr. Blake currently does two seminars nationally through Cross Country Education in Nashville, Tennessee. These are designed primarily for credentialed professionals in medical and mental health fields. Six hours of professional continuing education credits are offered for each seminar. The following is a brief description of both seminars:
