Neurodevelopmental disorders are a collection of conditions diagnosed in childhood. A diagnosis is typically sought out when a child is struggling in school or having behavioral problems at home. All neurodevelopmental disorders exist on a spectrum and are rooted in underlying neurologic dysfunction.
Is your child easily overwhelmed? Do they have frequent emotional outbursts or difficulties in school?
Neurodevelopmental disorders are a collection of conditions diagnosed in childhood. A diagnosis is typically sought out when a child is struggling in school or having behavioral problems at home. All neurodevelopmental disorders exist on a spectrum and are rooted in underlying neurologic dysfunction.
If you are a parent of a child with a neurodevelopmental disorder, it is important to know that these problems do not mediate intelligence. Addressing these issues is a great way to help your child reach their full potential.
Neurodevelopmental disorders can be both congenital or acquired. They can stem from a multitude of functional deficits.
For example, neurodevelopmental disorders like ASD, ADD, ADHD, and “learning disability” diagnoses commonly correlate with underlying sensory processing disorders and weaknesses in parts of the brain responsible for attention.
We don’t treat a label or a specific diagnosis. Instead, we look at your child’s strengths and then identify areas of weakness through a comprehensive exam. With neurodevelopmental disorders, we pay close attention to deficits related to sensory processing, movement, and attention.
We take advantage of the central nervous system’s ability to be plastic, to change constructively over time, and work with our patients to effectively rehabilitate the underlying dysfunction contributing to their problems.
We work with you and your child to determine the underlying mechanism of their neurologic dysfunction, using the latest in diagnostic technology to determine the best treatment approach to target it. This allows us to use all the tools available across disciplines, to collaborate, and to serve our patients based on what they specifically need.
We believe that every child deserves to have the tools they need to succeed.
“We found comfort and understanding in the depth of knowledge that was shared with us during each visit. It wasn't some(one) peddling drugs or reading from the back of a label, but a deep understanding of neurology and anatomy that led to the methodologies and treatment plans....the understanding of the full array of symptoms and the root cause for each symptom was very comforting.”
At Nathan Keiser Chiropractic Neurology, we believe that with this individualized, functional approach, every patient can make improvements.
If you feel like you have already tried everything and are stuck, don't feel alone. Many of our best recovery stories start this way. Our team is dedicated to helping every patient achieve their goals.
