Bob and his staff have designed and supervised over fifteen million hours of individual developmental and educational intervention programs for children and adults.
Bob is an innovator in neurological, perceptual, and educational interventions and has created not only hundreds of specific techniques and methodologies, but has developed an entirely new paradigm for education and maximizing human potential.
By the early 70’s, while still in his twenties, Bob had designed and directed a number of state and federal programs and had served in many capacities, including:
Director of the Visual Motor Testing and Training Center
Clinical Director of United Cerebral Palsy - Delaware County, PA.

By the time Bob founded NACD in 1979, he had worked side-by-side with some of the greatest innovators in related fields.
Thirty years of hands-on treatment have made the NACD approach to neurological development an enormous success. In recent years NACD has initiated its Simply Smarter Project, an international campaign to increase critical sequential processing skills, helping to unlock the potential of children and adults around the world.
Today Bob is a leading innovator in neurodevelopment and an unwavering champion of the innate potential within every human being. He continues to serve individual clients and their families, as well as to promote the benefits of the neurodevelopmental approach to educators and public leaders in the United States and around the world.
