Ryther's Neurodiverse-informed Treatment of Anxiety & OCD Intensive Services offers two programs for neurodivergent and neurotypical youth: Neurodiverse-informed Intensive Outpatient (NDAO IOP) and Neurodiverse-informed Partial Hospitalization (NDAO PHP). Both programs emphasize the whole person, celebrate neurodivergent identities, and use evidence-based therapies such as group games, mindful movement, and hands-on activities like art and tabletop gaming for treatment. For guidance on selecting the right program, please review the information below or sign up for services for an assessment.
Selecting between IOP and PHP depends on the level of support your child needs. Both programs provide compassionate care tailored to the strengths and challenges of neurodivergent youth, promoting growth and resilience. Here's how they compare:
