"NACD M.D. Moms"

We are an international group of medical doctors who are also mothers implementing NACD programs with our families.

Raising our own children has made us acutely aware of the traditional perceptions of—and opportunities afforded to—children with developmental issues. As physicians and parents, we are troubled by many limited beliefs and low expectations still prevalent within our profession and society in general.

Inspired by the progress our children are making under NACD’s guidance, “NACD MD Moms” have come together to publicly endorse the tenets of the NACD philosophy. We wish to educate others about the outstanding results that can be achieved with NACD programs. Working individually and collectively, our purpose is to assist NACD in empowering families—and the professional community—to believe in and develop the innate potential within every child.

“NACD MD Moms” are available to speak to groups and organizations. We also respond regularly to individual concerns posted on the NACD Message Board, offering medical guidance and support to NACD families.

Look for our upcoming series of articles, co-authored by NACD Founder Bob Doman, in which we will explore relevant topics in child development from both the medical perspective and the NACD neurodevelopmental approach.
