Neurodevelopment Assessment Clinic
Neurodevelopment Assessment Clinic (NDAC) is a multidisciplinary assessment clinic focusing on youth with autism or other neurodevelopmental disorders. Our model, developed by our founder, Dr. Siegel, is used to link assessment results to design individualized teaching strategies. NDAC emphasizes continuity of care by providing a center for families to come to for follow up visits as children move beyond initial diagnosis and outgrow early intervention programs. Families can return annually, or when they have new questions.
JumpStart Learning to Learn
An intensive week-long one-on-one parent and child coaching program focused on providing families with skills to support their child’s learning at home and school, understand their child’s specific learning style and areas of need, as well as psycho-education around on-going services and interventions. Families alternate working one-on-one with behavior, communication, social skills, play, and psycho-educational interventionists.
School and Behavior Consultation Clinic
School and Behavior Consultation Clinic (SBCC) is a consultative service that combines a developmental perspective with behavior analysis principles, when implementing continuity of care. SBCC offers assistance with behavior interfering with home life or school participation, as well as help with bridging the gap between schools and parents. SBCC staff also provide help in development of autism-specific IEP goals, IEE’s, and expert litigation support. If you're interested in our IEE program visit our page on Independent Education Evaluations to learn more.
LaunchPad: Getting Ready for Adult Years
LaunchPad is a new program for teens and young adults on the autism spectrum, and their families. LaunchPad evaluations aim to help parents and youth develop strategies for the transition to adulthood. This includes individualized recommendations and help identifying vocational training, apprenticeships, higher education programs, and support services.
Psychology Training Program
Each patient seen at ACNC is assigned to a Supervising Psychologist plus one or more doctoral students enrolled in an American Psychological Association (APA) credentialed training program for Clinical Psychology. The California Board of Psychology requires trainees to accrue 1500 hours of supervised clinical work- with at least one hour of supervision for every 10 hours of clinical activity.
Independent Education Evaluations
An Independent Educational Evaluation (IEE) is a comprehensive assessment conducted by a qualified professional who is not employed by the school district. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), parents or guardians who disagree with a school district’s evaluation of their child have the right to request an IEE, often at public expense.
