More About Donald “Dutch” Handlang
Clinical Interests:
Over the past three years I have become fascinated with understanding and supporting neurodiverse individuals. I specialize in the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of ADHD, autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and related conditions in adolescents and adults. My work centers on creating a more inclusive, understanding, and affirming environment for those who think and experience the world differently.
I decided to begin my doctoral program in clinical psychology after one of our children participated in psychological testing in response to struggling in kindergarten. The psychologist helped us understand how our child learns and processes information and experiences. It was as if she gave us glasses so that we could see our child more clearly and appreciate and nurture his individuality. This is the experience I strive to provide to my clients and their families.

Hobbies:
