Services and Fees
Our primary mission is to provide a program of neurological reorganization for children and adults.
NNTC also conducts educational events and serves as a resource for information about issues surrounding neurological function and dysfunction. Our Practitioners have spoken at numerous events for professionals, families, and civic groups. Please contact us directly at scheduling@nwneuro.info for details regarding speaking engagements.
What is Involved with a Program of Neurological Reorganization?
The first step in beginning a program of neurological reorganization is to be seen for an initial evaluation. An initial evaluation is approximately three and a half hours long and goes into detail about the current concerns and developmental history. Then, we complete the functional neurological exam (which elicits reflexes from the underlying parts of the brain, so is not medical or scary for children; we try to make it fun and tell children we are playing silly games). Next, we provide additional education about normal neurological development, present a verbal report of findings, and then develop a program of neurodevelopmental activities specifically targeted to address the deficits we identified in the client. Finally, we teach you how to do the activities at home.
You then go home and do the activities on a daily basis. The consistency and diligence of doing the activities daily can be challenging, but it is the only way to effect developmental change.
You return in approximately eight to twelve weeks for a re-evaluation. At the re-revaluation, we review changes from last time, re-do the functional neurological exam, and then change the neurodevelopmental activities to reflect the client’s new needs. Just as a four month old baby does different activities than a six month old baby, the activities change to reflect the client’s changing needs.
The client returns home to complete the new activities and we simply repeat the cycle of doing the activities at home with re-evaluations every eight to twelve weeks until the client no longer reports any concerns and we no longer identify any deficits when performing the functional neurological exam. At that point, the client graduates and, barring any future trauma or head injury, should live the fullest possible life without having to repeat these activities. It’s not a quick, easy fix, but it is a permanent solution.
FEES
As a 501(c)3 non-profit, we want to make a program of neurological reorganization available to everyone who seeks one. We strive to maintain our fees as low as possible, while supporting our institional needs. Your tax deductible contribution is always appreciated and helps us to maintain our low fees.
INITIAL EVALUATION: $550
A $75 deposit is due at the time of reserving your initial evaluation. This is applied towards the cost of your evaluation.
RE-EVALUATION: $260
NOTE: We are happy to work with your personal circumstances and establish a payment plan that accomodates your needs. To defer our costs, a $25 administrative fee is applied to all payment plans.
