Great news! SHORTER WAIT TIMES FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING!
As we have been able to add experienced staff and expand our testing services, our wait times are shorter than they have been in years - right now a month or less! If you are looking for an evaluation for a child or adult for ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, or learning concerns, DE has psychologists who focus on not only providing thorough assessments, but also in ensuring that you fully understand the results and the next steps. You'll walk away from our office with an accessible explanation of the findings and practical treatment recommendations. We'll answer your questions with empathy and expertise - knowing the right partner at this stage can transform a difficult experience into the beginning of positive change.

So happy to be part of this wonderful program!

⛵️Welcome Aboard, Developmental Enhancement Behavioral Health!

Spectrum Sailing is beyond grateful that the team at DEBH has stepped up to sponsor our 2024 Holland camp, where 20 local kids on the spectrum will enjoy the incredible experience of learning how to sail on Macatawa Bay.

Developmental Enhancement Behavioral Health is a specialized child and family-focused behavioral health service provider deeply committed to the holistic development and wellbeing of children and adolescents in West Michigan.

Spectrum Sailing never charges the families of the kids who attend our camps. This awesome experience is only possible because community members like you step up to make it happen.
