Neuro-Connect
Neurodiversity Program
Overview
The EMERGE Neuro-Connect program is a relationally-focused program for individuals with neurodivergences that need support in forming and maintaining healthy relationships with others. This includes individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders, OCD and related disorders, attention deficit disorders, sensory processing disorders, or moderate to severe learning disabilities.
Services can include initial assessment and service planning; individual, group and family therapy; mentoring and coaching; parent support; sibling support; and resource, referral and advocacy.
The Neuro-Connect Team is a skilled group of professionals dedicated to treatment that is focused specifically on the issues and concerns of those who are neurodivergent in a world that isn’t always comfortable or easy to navigate.
Age range: 5 -25
Who: Those who have been diagnosed with autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), sensory processing disorder, or moderate to severe learning disabilities. Many people with neurodivergence also have other co-occurring disorders, such as anxiety disorder, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD), bipolar disorder, depression, lower intellectual functioning, tic disorders, or physical disorders, such as those that lead to chronic pain.
