The Horizons Developmental Resource Center has a multidisciplinary team of psychologists, speech pathologists, occupational therapists, family consultants, and educators specializing in diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of neurodevelopmental disorders, including autism, ADHD, learning disabilities, and many more. Our team utilizes innovative research-based approaches to support the development of individuals from infancy through young adulthood.
There are many different options when it comes to evaluation and treatment services for your child and family, and we’d like you to know what makes us different from the rest:
• Our multidisciplinary team of professionals includes clinicians who are highly trained; have experience in home, school, hospital, and private practice settings; and are continually expanding their skills by researching and learning the most innovative methods available.
• Clients of all ages are welcome at our center, as we treat individuals from infancy through adulthood.
• We provide a variety of the most effective, innovative, and research-based approaches and programs that take into account all aspects of health and functioning; applied in a logical way that best meets the needs of each client.
• Clients are seen quickly so families and medical providers don’t have to wait for answers – we don’t believe in lengthy waiting lists.
• We utilize the highest quality evaluation tools including instruments such as the ADOS and ADI-R, which require specialized training and are widely considered the gold standard in autism spectrum disorder assessment.
• Parents and other family members are included in the treatment process, with a goal of improving quality of life for the family as a whole.
• Each client is viewed as an individual with unique strengths and challenges, and never as a diagnosis or label.
• Our comfortable home-like environment provides state of the art equipment and services in a space our clients look forward to visiting.
• Technology allows us to work with families throughout the United States and around the world; making our consultation services available to families regardless of location.
• Time is important, and we won’t waste yours by making you sit in our waiting room. We see clients at the scheduled time without lengthy or unpredictable wait times.
• Research is important to us, and we are involved in collaborative clinical research with centers around the world.
• The unique proprietary CORE Approach™ we have developed allows us to provide timely, thorough, cost-effective services that deliver results.
