Hal
E. Wildman, Ph.D. specializes in the diagnostic and behavioral
evaluation and treatment of children and adolescents. With over
20 years of experience as a psychologist, Dr. Wildman's areas
of specialization include autism/Asperger's disorder/Pervasive
Developmental Disorder (PDD), ADHD, school and learning problems,
behavior/conduct problems, fears/phobias, depression, and social
skills training. His evaluations include specific, practical
recommendations for parents, teachers, and other caregivers
to follow to help children and adolescents to learn, change
behavior, and improve their daily functioning. Evidence-based
treatment is coordinated with other providers involved with
the child, including pediatricians and schools.
Dr. Wildman received his doctorate in Clinical Psychology from
the University of Southern Mississippi in 1986. Dr. Wildman
holds a Bachelor's degree in Psychology with honors from the
State University of New York at Stony Brook, and a Master's
degree in Developmental Psychology from the University of North
Carolina at Greensboro. He interned at the University of Mississippi
Medical Center in Jackson, Mississippi, collaborating in and
publishing studies of social skills training with children and
adolescents with disabilities while there. Most of his professional
career has been devoted to the evaluation and treatment of individuals
with autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and learning disorders.
He is an adjunct faculty member in the Department of Psychology
at Kent State University, having supervised doctoral-candidate
students on their clinical work in various child and adolescent
mental health settings. Dr. Wildman is the author of several
professional research articles and has presented at regional
and national conferences. He is a member of the Advisory Committee
for the Autism Diagnosis Education Pilot Project, which is funded
by a grant to the Ohio Chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics
by the Ohio Department of Health.
Children and adolescents with Asperger's disorder, PDD-NOS,
and others often experience difficulty in making and keeping
friends and socializing with their peers. In addition, their
parents often have difficulty in helping their children with
social difficulties and behavioral problems, such as noncompliance
with requests, temper tantrums, and interrupting others. To
help with these concerns, Dr. Wildman periodically offers groups
to teach peer-relevant social skills to these adolescents and
pre-adolescents, as well as groups to help their parents learn
what they can do to help their children with social skills and
with their behavior.
