    A Psychiatric Diagnostic Interview may be all that is needed in your situation.  Additional
    testing may not be necessary.  A primary purpose of the interview is to review your situation
    to determine what tests & remediation if any, are needed to reach a diagnostic conclusion.  
    Clients who have chosen to only have a Psychiatric Diagnostic Interview have felt such a
    consultation to be very helpful in clarifying their options in this often very confusing area.

    If you have had prior testing and suspect the results are wrong, you may benefit
    from having your situation reviewed by Dr. Smith in an hour long Psychiatric
    Diagnostic Interview.  Please Click on the link below for a description of this

    Dyslexia,  attention deficit disorders and learning disabilities are brain based physical disorders that
    interfere with optimal cognitive functioning, information processing, learning and work performance.  
    These conditions often go undiagnosed and result in failure, disappointment and low self esteem.  
    Accurate diagnosis leads to effective treatment that can significantly improve mental performance.  


    Dr. Smith specializes in the testing and diagnosis of Dyslexia, Attention Deficit Disorder ADHD, ADD,  
    Learning Disabilities, Independent Educational Evaluation, and evaluations for the  Michigan Dyslexia Institute.


    Dr. Robert Smith provides a wide range of psychological services to children and adults with a specialization in
    the evaluation of Dyslexia , Attention Deficit Disorder and other Learning Disabilities.  Dr. Smith is a

    Dr. Smith has consulted with parents, school systems and social service agencies to conduct comprehensive
    neuropsychological testing and Independent Educational Evaluations for children and adults.  He has testified
    as an expert witness in educational due process hearings and for court hearings.   

    People seek evaluations for a variety of reasons.  

    Frequently, clients seek a "second opinion" evaluation after a first evaluation by another psychologist is
    inconclusive.  This second opinion testing are frequently completed as an Independent Educational Evaluation,
    which is paid for by the school system as required by Special Education laws.  Clients seeking to qualify for an
    Independent Educational Evaluation should consult the Special Education departments of their school
    systems.  Individual school systems vary in how much they will pay toward an Independent Educational
    Evaluation.  Some Special Education departments will pay for a large portion of the fee with the client or
    parent paying the remainder of the fee.  

    One of the most common reasons for an testing and diagnosis to qualify for special accommodation under the
    Americans with Disabilities Act   ( ADA ).  Requests for such accommodations must demonstrate through the
    application material, the written report of the test results and any supportive materials from the schools Special
    Education department that the disorder causes a substantial interference in educational activities or work
    related activities.

    A formal diagnosis is necessary if you are seeking insurance reimbursement or are trying to obtain special
    accommodations under the Americans with Disability Act - ADA  in school,  for standardized testing or for
    employment purposes.
