Hear two neuropsychologists address issues including AD/HD and Executive Functioning

Roger E. Lauer, Ph.D. is the director of the Center for Neuropsychology, Learning and Development in Ann Arbor, MI. He is formally trained as a clinical neuropsychologist. In addition to being in private practice for over 20 years, he maintains an adjunct faculty appointment within the Department of Psychology at the University of Michigan. Dr. Lauer?s private practice is focused extensively on neuropsychological assessment and intervention of learning, attention and developmental disorders. He approaches his work from a strength-based model focusing on 'islands of competence' in all individuals to improve self-esteem around learning.

Carol Persad, Ph.D. is an Assistant Professor and Clinical Director of the Neuropsychology Section, in the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Michigan Health System. She received her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Michigan State University. She then completed an internship at Henry Ford Hospital and a postdoctoral fellowship at University of Michigan Neuropsychology Section, before becoming a faculty member of that program. Much of her research has focused on executive skills and its impact on daily functioning across the age range.
