David Grove, Ph.D., diagnosed our oldest son with ADHD, OCD and dysgraphia in 2000, and has continued with his behavioral therapy ever since. Over the years, he has also helped my husband, our youngest son and me through the tough times and the times when we just needed to decompress. There are not words to express how my family feels about Dr. Grove. He took a family of quirky, obsessive, attention-lacking creative types and made us realize how normal we really are, or more accurately, how there is “no such thing as normal.” Our happiness, contentment and general healthy outlook can be attributed to his ongoing guidance and support.
Dr. Grove is a Licensed Clinical Psychologist in private practice. He also teaches college courses, works with children at a residential treatment facility, leads outpatient chemical dependency groups, and is an area school psychologist, a Head Start consultant, director of a Community Mental Health Center, and a forensic psychologist. He was selected as a finalist for the Psychologist of the Year award, honored as a Diplomat by the American Board of Psychological Specialties, and identified as an expert in Forensic Psychology. Dr. Grove also received the Volunteer of the Year Award by the Heartland Area Education Agency for his efforts to educate professionals in the area of cross-cultural counseling. This, in my mind, puts him squarely in the category of ‘expert’.
In my ongoing quest to help my kids and others who have organizational problems, I convinced Dr. Grove to sit down with me to answer questions on organization, ADHD and other Learning Disabilities, and our public school system and teachers in general.
