ADHD Testing near Grandville
ADHD testing for Grandville families and adults
Grandville families reach the Byron Center office in about a quarter of an hour, and it is the location I recommend for anyone here on a MESSA or Anthem Blue Cross plan, since Riverside Counseling Professionals is in network with both. The full evaluation is the same at either office.
Grandville Public Schools has a strong special education department, and a clear diagnostic report shortens the path to a 504 plan or IEP. I write reports to be used by school teams: diagnosis and presentation type, the standardized measures and their results, differential diagnosis, and concrete accommodation recommendations.
Many Grandville adults I test grew up before ADHD was recognized in girls or in quiet, inattentive children. If you were a capable student who fell apart when structure disappeared, or a parent who recognizes yourself in your child’s evaluation, adult testing is designed for exactly that history.
Getting here from Grandville
From Grandville and Jenison, take M-6 east to the Byron Center Avenue exit and head north; the office is about 10 to 15 minutes from RiverTown Crossings.
What the evaluation includes
Session one is a one-hour clinical interview covering developmental, medical, academic, and emotional history, followed by about two hours of standardized testing including the TOVA and validated rating scales. Between sessions I score, interpret, and rule out the conditions that imitate ADHD: anxiety, depression, trauma, sleep disorders, and learning differences. Session two is a feedback hour where we go through the written report together. Full details, cost, and insurance are on the main testing page.
Schools and colleges served
Reports are written to be actionable by school teams and disability offices, including Grandville Public Schools (Grandville High, Grandville Middle, Grand View, Century Park), Jenison, Calvin Christian, Wyoming, Hudsonville, Byron Center, and Grand Rapids Christian, plus Grand Valley State University, Grand Rapids Community College, Calvin University, Davenport University, and Michigan State University.
