NeuroPower
Neurodiversity Program
Overview
The EMERGE NeuroPower program is focused on individuals ages 12-25 who have been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, sensory processing disorder, 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 Neuropower 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: 12 -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.
