The National Association for Child Development (NACD) is a group which focuses on evaluating each child's level of development, and then devises a personalized home program to improve that development. ABA is directed toward skill building, while NACD utilizes exercises to stimulate the brain to improve overall function. It includes a combination of sensory issues, language function, fine and gross motor function, sequential and tonal processing function as well as academic acceleration. Like ABA, this involves an intense one-on-one program with many drills and activities based on a personal evaluation.
