It is my pleasure to nominate Professor Emerita Tate for the Distinguished Career Award. I believe she is a worthy recipient having made major, sustained contributions to the field of neuropsychology in its true interdisciplinary sense and forging new directions. Specifically, she is an internationally recognized leader in four inter-related areas of empirical research that have directly improved treatment and rehabilitation procedures for persons who must contend with the disabilities associated with acquired brain disorders: Her contributions can be summarized as leading major initiatives to improve (i) outcome instruments, (ii) evidence-based clinical practice, (iii) rehabilitation options, (iv) research methodology for single-case designs.

Dirk Bakker has been a true pioneer in the Netherlands within the field of neuropsychology, especially child neuropsychology. His research career spanning about forty years of work has specifically focused on dyslexia related to the hemispheric specialization of functions. Dirk started his intriguing research by developing a neuropsychological model of the process of normal and abnormal reading. He validated his model of developmental dyslexia with electrophysiological (ERP) measures in longitudinal studies of normal children as well as of children with different subtypes of dyslexia.
