Norton Neuroscience Institute Adult Neurodevelopmental Program

Appointments are available by referral

The Norton Neuroscience Institute Adult Neurodevelopmental Program fills a care gap many face when transitioning out of pediatric care. The program, led by neurologist David A. Robertson, M.D., provides specialized care for adults with neurodevelopmental conditions and social development impairments.

We provide coordinated care for adults with neurodevelopmental disorders related to:

  • Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) 
  • Cerebral palsy
  • Childhood illness or injury
  • Developmental delay
  • Genetic conditions

Our unique model offers ongoing support throughout adult life and assists with the transition to adult care, with comprehensive evaluation. We work closely with patients, their families or support persons, and their health care providers for coordinated care.

Make a referral

Providers can refer patients within the Norton Healthcare system through Epic by selecting Adult Neurodevelopmental Program. Providers outside of the Norton Healthcare system can refer through Norton EpicCare Link by selecting Adult Neurodevelopmental Program.
