Online ADHD & Autism Evaluations for Michigan Adults
Virtual ADHD and Autism Evaluations for Michigan Residents
Looking for an online ADHD evaluation, online autism (ASD) assessment, or comprehensive psychological evaluation in Michigan? I can help. I'm Dr. Ben Dickstein, PhD, a clinical psychologist (Ohio License #7277) authorized by the PSYPACT Commission (APIT #13712) to provide telepsychology services to Michigan residents. I specialize in adult evaluations, and through PSYPACT I can see clients anywhere in Michigan — from Detroit and the metro suburbs (Warren, Sterling Heights, Dearborn, Livonia, Troy), across to Ann Arbor and Lansing, north to Grand Rapids and the West Michigan lakeshore, and into the rural Northern Lower Peninsula and the Upper Peninsula.
Why a Virtual Evaluation from Michigan?
Michigan has the same access pattern as a lot of states with both large metros and substantial rural geography. The Detroit metro, Ann Arbor, Grand Rapids, and Lansing have provider networks but multi-month waitlists at established adult evaluation centers. Outside those metros — Northern Michigan, the Upper Peninsula, the Thumb, and the rural West Michigan counties — specialist coverage is sparse, and many adults find themselves driving several hours to reach a clinician trained in current best-practice adult evaluation. An online evaluation removes both the drive and the waitlist constraint.
Scheduling Across Time Zones
Most of Michigan observes Eastern Time — the same as my Cincinnati office. Four counties in the western Upper Peninsula (Gogebic, Iron, Dickinson, Menominee) observe Central Time and are one hour behind. My weekday morning, lunchtime, and late-afternoon slots map well to Michigan working-hour schedules.
Michigan-Specific Things to Know
Telehealth law. Michigan codified telehealth practice through Public Act 359 of 2020, with subsequent amendments expanding the scope of authorized telehealth services. Michigan also enacted PSYPACT-enabling legislation (HB 4731) in 2023, making PSYPACT participation effective for Michigan residents. PSYPACT participation lets me, an Ohio-licensed psychologist with the Authority to Practice Interjurisdictional Telepsychology (APIT #13712), see Michigan residents legally and ethically via secure telehealth video.
Accommodations. My reports are written to meet standard ADA documentation requirements — diagnostic codes, functional impact statements, and accommodation-specific recommendations. Major Michigan employers (General Motors, Ford, Stellantis, Dow Chemical, Whirlpool, Kellogg, Steelcase, Meijer, Domino's Pizza, Rocket Mortgage, University of Michigan, Michigan State, and similar) routinely review this kind of documentation from licensed psychologists when clients request workplace accommodations. The auto industry employers in particular have well-established ADA accommodation processes given their size.
What I Offer
Online ADHD Assessment. A thorough evaluation following current best-practice guidelines for diagnosing attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder. This includes a detailed clinical interview, standardized rating scales, collateral reports from people who know you well, and screening for conditions that commonly co-occur with or mimic ADHD. You'll receive a detailed written report with your results, diagnostic conclusions, and individualized treatment recommendations.
Online ASD Assessment. A comprehensive autism spectrum disorder evaluation that includes a developmental and personal history, validated ASD-specific measures, collateral information, and assessment of co-occurring concerns. Online ASD testing follows the same clinical standards as an in-person evaluation. Many adults have suspected for years that they might be on the spectrum but haven't known where to turn. If that's you, I'd encourage you to reach out.
Comprehensive Telehealth Evaluation. For situations where the diagnostic picture is complex or unclear. This includes everything in the ADHD and ASD evaluations plus an objective personality measure that provides detailed information about a wider array of mental health symptoms, personality features, and personal strengths. If you or your provider want a complete picture, this is the way to go.
Combined Evaluations. I also offer combined ADHD and ASD evaluations, as well as comprehensive assessments that include ADHD and/or ASD testing. These are helpful when more than one condition may be in play.
Current Pricing. Pricing for these assessments is provided on the following page of my website.
How It Works
Before the evaluation, you'll receive intake paperwork and rating scales to complete ahead of time. People who know you well (a partner, parent, or close friend) will be sent their own forms.
During the evaluation, we'll meet via secure video for a detailed clinical interview. Depending on the type of assessment, this typically takes one to two sessions.
After the evaluation, you'll receive a detailed written report with your results, diagnosis (when warranted), and specific treatment recommendations. Letters of support for accommodations are provided as needed. I'm also happy to coordinate with your providers in Michigan to ensure continuity of care.
For Michigan Providers Considering a Referral
If you're a therapist, psychiatrist, or physician in Michigan and you have a client or patient who needs an ADHD evaluation, autism assessment, or comprehensive diagnostic workup, I welcome referrals. My reports are detailed (typically 12+ pages for ADHD evaluations), include specific and actionable treatment recommendations, and are designed to be useful to the providers who will continue working with the individual. I'm also available for consultation before or after an evaluation.
