March, 2023

Dear Valued Patients and Families:

It is with mixed emotions that I announce my retirement from Clinical Pediatric Neuropsychology Practice. The Orland Park location will close effective April, 2023.

I've had the honor of treating children for over 40 years and I am very touched that many of you have entrusted me to care for a couple generations within your families. Now, I look forward to more treasured time with my family.

Please know that I remain committed to quality and compassionate care of children that promotes their health and well-being. For this purpose, NDC is transitioning to Consultation services, continued teaching and speaking engagements. I will be available for Non-Clinical, virtual consultations to families regarding child brain development and learning, provide guidance, and interdisciplinary direction.

• Consultation Specialty:
  • Autism and related Pervasive Developmental Disorders
  • Attention Deficits and Learning Disorders/Dyslexias
  • Impact of heightened stress upon Brain-Body functions
• Consultation Focus: Healthy Development of Attention, Executive Function, Memory, Sensory/Motor, Speech/Language, Mood and Social functions that promote Well-Being.

This Consultation will be available beginning June, 2023. To request information or to schedule a consultation, please contact ndcbrain@gmail.com. Please allow for generous response times. This consultation is not a clinical service, therefore, not eligible for insurance reimbursement.

It has been extremely rewarding to work with a team of dedicated professionals and clerical staff who also share these values of quality and compassionate care of children. I thank them for their years of commitment and service.

You can be assured that Clinical referrals to colleagues who share these same values are available. Clinical records will remain confidential and require HIPPA compliance for release. To contact the Clinic please email ndcbrain@gmail.com or mailing address: NDC, 15128 S. LaGrange Rd., P.O. Box 2878, Orland Park, IL 60462.

God bless you with Happiness, Health and Well-Being.

Respectfully,

Val Scaramella-Nowinski, PsyD
