NADC is a multidisciplinary program but our primary tool is a Neuropsychological Assessment. Our primary clinicians are highly trained Neuropsychologists and Psychologists that complete the assessment needed to determine what services and recommendations will be appropriate based on diagnosis and severity of disorders.
NADC is a partnership of Neuropsychologists, Psychologists, Pediatricians, Psychiatrists, Behavioral Interventionists, Therapists, Educators and specialty treatment providers that offer our clients a seamless delivery of Assessment and Treatment. This means that the complex process of understanding and defining the problems (Assessment) and following through with the educational and therapeutic remediation (Treatment) is coordinated and delivered by NADC in an efficient and effective method.
At NADC, we value that each client is unique and often a puzzle of information. Each of us is a complex manifestation of genetic, neurologic, and environmental backgrounds. Our internal genetic coding combines with a lifetime of experiences with our families, at work, at school, and with friends to create who we are. We realize that sometimes this combination creates problems with learning, behavior, mood, anxiety, development and social relatedness. This may also be a result of injury or illness.
We are excited to start this journey of understanding with you and create answers to big problems.
