Hello and Welcome! My name is Dr. Michelle Spader-Cloud, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and Board Certified Behavior Analyst located in Central Ohio with comprehensive, specialized professional training and clinical experience in ADHD, Learning Challenges, Down Syndrome, and other developmental disabilities along with several other concerns commonly experienced by children, adolescents, and adults. I also offer cognitive/intellectual assessments that are needed for some school admissions processes, giftedness, as well as that related to pursuit of County Board of Developmental Disabilities services.

I have trained and worked in nationally known hospitals including Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center, The Children's Hospital-Denver, and I was previously employed for 9 years at Nationwide Children's Hospital in Columbus, OH.
