Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 I believe that at the Institutes, the parents take courses and then design their own programs. At NACD, they design the programs for you and help you with structure, behavioural issues, etc. If you need home school programs, they help you with that as well. Basicly NACD holds your hand through the processes and the Institutes lets you go on your own. I needed the structure of NACD and that is what determined my decision of NACD over the Institutes. Both operate under the same principles so the programs, in the end, are neurological and target the senses and development. Janice Mother of Mark, 13 [sPAM][ ] Janice-NACD or Inst. for Ach of Human Potential-for home program? Janice and all, We have a home program run through the district, but are looking for a better program tailored to our child's needs. As I stated before, we found out when she was 5 after a 2nd MRI that she has tiny cysts caused from lack of oxygen at birth (apcar scores were great). She has much in common with an autistic child in that she is a sensory seeker, severe apraxia (few rarely said words that pop up when you least expect it), sensitivity to sudden sound, etc. I am interested in NACD but also see that there is an Institute for Human Potential. What is the difference between the two? I am in NJ. I assume we have to go to them for the evaluation and home evals are not available. My daughter doesn't perform as well in offices, that is why I ask. Thanks, Carolyn aigjr@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Carolyn, NACD has ofices in West Chester Pa so it is fairly close. You almost don't want her to perform her best so they know what targetrs need the most attention. Go for it! > > I believe that at the Institutes, the parents take courses and then design their own programs.
