THE NATIONAL ACADEMY FOR CHILD DEVELOPMENT
The National Academy for Child Development is an international, non-profit organization of
parents and professionals dedicated to helping children and adults reach their full potential.
NACD was founded in 1979 by internationally recognized educator Robert J. Doman Jr.

During its over twenty years of operation NACD’s team of professionals has designed and
supervised over 50,000 home-based developmental, therapeutic and educational programs
for special needs, “normal” and accelerated children.

OPTIMIZE YOUR CHILD’S POTENTIAL
NACD’s programs are designed for the full range of needs, from the comatose to the gifted.  NACD has worked with children with labels including, but not limited to ADD, ADHD, LD, Dyslexia, Developmental delay, Brain injured, Cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, PDD and Autism.  NACD has been advocating home school particularly for special needs children for over 20 years, and has a proven track record.  NACD also has great success in eliminating or reducing the learning struggles with children in the public or private setting.

NACD EMPOWERS PARENTS
NACD has centers located around the country; families bring their child to one of our centers once every four months.  At that time the child is evaluated and an individualized program is designed to meet the child’s therapeutic and educational needs.  The parents are then trained in the implementation of the program. 

NACD’s program is carried out within the home by the parents and siblings under the guidance and support of the NACD team of professionals.  Our staff is only a phone call or email away.
