ABOUT US

The Center for Neurological and Neurodevelopmental Health (CNNH) and the Clinical Research Center of New Jersey (CRCNJ) are integrated organizations providing comprehensive and multidisciplinary evaluation and treatment services for infants, children and adolescents with neurodevelopmental disabilities, neurobehavioral disorders, brain injury and other neurological problems. Led by Mark Mintz, M.D., and Daniel LeGoff, Ph.D., CNNH has at its core neurological and neuropsychological diagnostic and treatment services together with related and integrated assessment and therapeutic programs including Applied Behavioral Analysis, Speech and Language Therapy, peer-mediated (and LEGO®-based) Social Development Therapy, Occupational and Physical Therapy (including Integrated Movement Therapy,) Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Autism Diagnostic Observation Schedule (ADOS) testing, Psychoeducational   evaluations and remediation, and Creative Arts in Therapy. Additionally, through a partnership with the May Institute, we offer   behavioral consultation, behavioral management   and technical assistance in both home and school settings.

CNNH is proud to announce a new affiliation with the National Autism Center. The National Autism Center is active in promoting the best practices for the evaluation and treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders. The Center conducts applied research and develops training and service models for care providers and practitioners, and disseminates practical information about the challenges in responding to autism. We at CNNH also assist families affected by autism in pursuing evidence-based and pragmatic approaches for treatment interventions. We are proud to be associated with the National Autism Center.

Through our academic appointments, research collaborations, clinical activities, and teaching/mentoring, CNNH and our professionals have been/are affiliated or associated with the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ); International Down Syndrome Consortium; National Institutes of Health; Institute for Basic Research; University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine; Drexel University; Rowan University; La Salle University; Cambridge University of the United Kingdom; and McMaster University of Canada. We also provide evaluations for the Child Study Teams of over 35 school districts, and many county Care Management Organizations; various Early Intervention Programs; private Specialized Schools and Residential Facilities; and New Jersey and national governmental and private agencies and organizations.

At CNNH, we utilize the latest in advanced technologies for assessing brain function in a non-invasive fashion. We house the region’s only dense-array electroencephalography (EEG) machine for out-patient clinical use (click here for more information) and also utilize computerized screening assessments of cognition, attention and vigilance (Mindstreams® and McLean Motion and Attention Test for ADHD™.)

CRCNJ has been very active in a wide array and number of clinical trials and other research for Neurobehavioral/Neuropsychiatric Disorders, Epilepsy, Cognition/Memory, Sleep Disorders, and Quality of Life.
