Teacher, researcher and writer Thomas E. Brown, author of four books on attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), will present a lecture at 7 p.m. Thursday, February 18, on the Knox College campus. The lecture, "How ADD/ADHD Can Cause Bright Kids and Adults to Get Stuck," will be in the Trustees Room of Alumni Hall.

A 1964 Knox College graduate, Brown is assistant clinical professor of psychiatry at Yale University School of Medicine and associate director of the Yale Clinic for Attention and Related Disorders.

Through his private practice, he specializes in the assessment and treatment of high-IQ children, adolescents, and adults who have attention disorders.

He credits Knox College with helping him start "on this journey which has taken me to opportunities and experiences I had never even dreamed of."
