First an only place that helped us with my son's neurodiversity after 1000 professionals called me crazy mama. Definitely recommend them. Shout out to phsycologists Claire Hopkins and Jaimie Abrahams, and administrator Fowzia Davids from Rodenbosch branch. Thank you for all.

My son and myself and several family members and close friends see both therapists and OT's at the NDC and have so for several years now. The support has been invaluable and I have referred many people there. A specific shout out to the following caring humans at the NDC: Jaime, Retha, Alexia, Shaheda, Morgan, Ilhaam, Nina and Fowzia. Thanks for all you do for me and my family.
