Our special programs are designed to help individuals with special needs and disabilities cope with the difficult challenges that confront them at different stages in their development. The pre-school child is faced with the new challenge of controlling impulses, staying in one place, following instructions, focusing on and completing tasks, and socializing appropriately with groups of peers. Our “Earlier the Better” Program has been designed to help these children and their parents overcome these challenges. Our alternative track to medication provides a structured integrated program using alternative successful treatment approaches to help clients that do not wish to use medication in their or their child’s treatment regime.

The school-going child is challenged by the demands of the more structured classroom environment and the attention, memory, comprehension and reasoning demands of the more formal learning experience. As the adolescent advances into junior high and high school, academic demands such as planning and executing projects, essay writing, studying, and writing exams challenge their executive skills functioning. In addition to academic demands the school-going child and adolescent has to cope with changing social demands and an increasing need for independence from their caretakers.
The transition from high school to college is huge. Our college program focuses on helping the student prepare for and adjust academically, socially and emotionally to the challenges of this new unstructured, demanding environment. Our academic accommodation program is linked to both the school and college programs. It focuses on testing and assessment to establish a baseline of cognitive and executive functioning strengths and weaknesses for a student. Evidence of intellectual promise and cognitive impairment together with an accurate diagnosis can make the student eligible for certain academic accommodations recommended by the neuropsychologist and implemented by the school or college to “level the playing field” thereby helping intellectually promising students with cognitive impairments reach their academic potential.

Our adult programs focus on the executive functioning deficits that challenge the adult’s professional, social and personal life. The corporate program provides in-house workshops to help professionals overcome handicaps caused by their organizational, planning, time management and working memory problems that are undermining their ability to compete and achieve professional goals.
