THE MORRIS CENTER, INC.
PONTE VEDRA BEACH, FLORIDA

About The Morris Center Founded by Developmental Behavioral Pediatrician Dr. Ann Alexander, and currently owned and operated by Dr. Tim Conway, The Morris Center has over 27 years of experience – including helping conduct and publish NIH funded research proving the efficacy of portions of The Morris Center’s treatment program. The Morris Center’s research and clinical data repeatedly support the success of the intensive, transdisciplinary treatment model. Equally important, the treatment outcomes are robust and typically long-term with little to no long-term follow-up required. The Morris Center is an all-inclusive neurodevelopmental treatment and assessment center. We help improve skills of children and adults who have difficulty with school or job success, e.g. poor reading, spelling, comprehension, writing, speech, math, sensory processing attention, behavior or social skills. Uniquely, The Morris Center uses a transdisciplinary team of caring professionals, individually tailored assessment and treatment, and a scientifically proven treatment program. This program makes long-term improvements of weak skills that may cause academic or job difficulties. The Morris Center’s cutting-edge assessment model is transdisciplinary, client specific and aims to guide treatment planning. Our transdisciplinary assessment and treatment team includes professionals in child psychiatry, clinical psychology, neuropsychology, nurse practitioner, occupational therapy, special education, and speech-language pathology. These professionals design the assessment to identify an individual’s specific profile of strengths and weaknesses. Identifying clients’ strengths and weaknesses can uncover likely causes of their learning difficulties, poor academic performance or limited job success. Similarly, this profile guides The Morris Center’s selected treatment program. The primary aim of the treatment program is to improve a client’s weaknesses and improve academic or work performance. Thus, treatment is tailored to the client’s needs and is delivered by highly trained staff through specialized one-on-one treatment sessions. Working one-on-one provides the highest degree of an individually tailored treatment. Also, The Morris Center’s treatment is intensive: 1-6 hours per day, 5 days per week for an average range of 150 to 400 hours (a 9 to 16 week period) – dependent upon individual needs, number and severity of deficits. Research has repeatedly shown that in order for treatment to be effective, it must be intensive (hours per day), specific (theoretically clear goals that are systemically organized and structured), and frequent (4-5 days per week). “You provide such an amazing program that should be available to all.” “I am so grateful that we found The Morris Center.” Contact us and we can connect you with a family that has been through the same struggles, but has completed treatment at The Morris Center, with their child’s skills markedly improved. Please call to schedule your appointment as soon as possible. Comprehensive consultations are provided for a fee and scheduled at your convenience. Even worse, the very people who are supposed to help you just don’t understand what you’re going through. They don’t have the time or the training to get you back on track. The Morris Center: A place of understanding. At The Morris Center, we understand in two very meaningful ways. We understand on a personal level what you’re going through. We’ve helped hundreds of families like yours. Many were close to giving up hope. It was really starting to seem like no one understood or cared. That ends at our door. We listen—and your stories matter to us. We deeply understand the science behind your struggle. Our transdisciplinary team of researchers and clinicians is on the leading edge of program development for language learning disabilities. We know exactly how to turn your situation around. Learning difficulties can be complex, which is why we offer Speech-Language Pathology and Occupational Therapy services as well. We provide testing for dyslexia and other learning disabilities, as well testing for other interfering factors, like ADHD. At The Morris Center, our research-backed treatments are proven to produce long-lasting results. These programs are so powerful and effective that you’ll see years of gain in weeks of treatment. Ask the other providers to show you the research behind their claims. Inquire about the average gains their clients make in treatment. Then give us a call. “TMC changed his life” is a common response we receive after our teams’ treatment. One of the most misunderstood aspects of helping children and adults improve their functional skills is the difference between making weak skills stronger versus learning compensatory “strategies” to cope with weak skills. TMC’s known for using research-based methods, the proper intensity and frequency of treatment and a foundational approach to make weaker skills become stronger – improving functional abilities & leading to long-term improvements. So, are you ready for caps flying in the air on graduation day? The test scores you didn’t dare hope for? The phone call to tell you the position is yours? The college admission letter?
