Critical Praise for Lectures and Workshops

"I attended the International Boys' School Coalition Conference. The keynote speaker was scheduled to talk for three hours, which, as I remarked to my national and international colleagues, seemed an inordinately long time. However, we would have gladly listened for any length of time to Dr. Adam J. Cox, a man you will hear from, and about.

In the same way that Dr. Mel Levine gave us a language with which to understand the physiological underpinnings to learning difficulties, Dr. Adam Cox will be known for giving us language and understanding about how male brains develop with regard to communication, empathy, and connection."
