The Lab School of Washington Speaker Series: Executive Functioning and Dysregulation: Understanding and Supporting Neurodiverse Students

The speaker for this session is David Black, PhD, a pediatric neuropsychologist and director of the Center for Assessment & Treatment (CAAT). He is an internationally recognized expert in autism spectrum and related disorders. In addition to his work with individuals who have social and self-regulatory problems, Black provides comprehensive neuropsychological assessment and consultation services to children, adolescents, and adults with learning differences, attention disorders, and medical conditions such as epilepsy, traumatic brain injury, and genetic disorders. His more recent work has focused on the transition to adulthood and unique challenges inherent in that transition, and on the role stress and anxiety have in autism as well as intervention that may reduce their impacts.
