A parent’s guide to the top neurointensive therapy programs in Minnesota for children with developmental delays, autism, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, and related neurological challenges — with honest breakdowns of what each clinic offers, who leads the program, and what to expect.

If your child has been diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, or a developmental delay — and you’ve been searching for neurointensive therapy in Minnesota — you already know how hard it is to find the right provider.

Neuro intensive therapy isn’t offered by every clinic. It requires specialized training in functional neurology, vestibular therapy, primitive reflex remediation, and the concentrated daily treatment format that makes the intensive model work. Most standard therapy practices don’t offer it.

This guide is written for Minnesota parents who are doing their research. We’ve compiled the clinics in the state that offer genuine neurointensive or neuromotor intensive programs for children — programs built around the intensive daily model, not just weekly therapy with a neurological label. Below, you’ll find a breakdown of each provider, what they offer, who leads their programs, and how they differ.

A note on transparency: This article is published by North Lakes Chiropractic & Functional Neurology in Grand Rapids, MN — and we do rank ourselves first. We’ve made every effort to represent the other clinics on this list accurately and fairly. If you’re evaluating multiple providers, we encourage you to contact each one directly.

What Makes a Program a True Neuro Intensive?

The term ‘neuro intensive’ is increasingly used in marketing, but the format has a specific meaning: concentrated neurological therapy delivered daily over a short period (typically 1–2 weeks), rather than spread across weekly appointments over many months.

The core advantage is neuroplasticity. The brain changes most efficiently when neurological stimulation is repeated, daily, and builds on itself — each session reinforcing the gains made in the session before. When sessions are a week apart, that compounding effect is lost. The intensive format is not just faster; for many children, it’s the format that finally produces results after months of conventional therapy haven’t.

True neurointensive programs for children typically include: comprehensive neurological assessment, personalized treatment plans, vestibular therapy, primitive reflex remediation, vision therapy, proprioceptive and somatosensory stimulation, and a home care plan at the end of the program. Not all programs include all of these components — which is one reason the quality and breadth of providers varies considerably.

#1 — North Lakes Chiropractic & Functional Neurology

Grand Rapids, Minnesota  ·  northlakeschiropractic.com  ·  (218) 999-7006

13 Willow Lane, Grand Rapids, MN 55744

North Lakes Chiropractic & Functional Neurology is our top pick for neurointensive therapy in Minnesota — and the only program in the state led by a board-certified chiropractic neurologist (DACNB) who has been delivering dedicated neurointensive programs for over a decade.

Why North Lakes Ranks #1

The foundation of what makes North Lakes exceptional is Dr. Kolby Condos, DC, DACNB. The DACNB designation — Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Neurology Board — is the highest certification available in chiropractic neurology. It requires thousands of hours of post-doctoral education and rigorous national board examination. Dr. Condos earned his DACNB in 2016 and has since completed thousands of additional hours of training in functional neurology, pediatric neurodevelopmental disorders, concussion rehabilitation, vestibular therapy, primitive reflex integration, vision therapy, and functional medicine.

What that credential means in practice: Dr. Condos doesn’t manage diagnoses. He identifies and treats the neurological root causes — retained primitive reflexes, vestibular dysregulation, visual processing dysfunction, sensory integration deficits — that other therapies often miss. The neurointensive program at North Lakes is built around that level of neurological precision.

Program Details

• Format: 1–2 hours of focused neurological therapy daily for 1–2 consecutive weeks
• Assessment: Comprehensive evaluation of brain function, vestibular system, visual processing, primitive reflex status, sensory processing, and motor development
• Therapies used: Vestibular therapy, vision therapy, primitive reflex remediation, proprioceptive therapy, low-level laser therapy, peripheral nerve stimulation, and specific chiropractic adjustments
• Conditions treated: Developmental delays, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, sensory processing disorder, learning delays, coordination challenges, concussion/TBI, vertigo, and vestibular dysfunction
• Ages served: Children of all ages; also serves adults for concussion and vestibular conditions
• Post-program: Detailed home care plan provided; many families return every 3–6 months for follow-up intensives
• Location note: Families travel from the Twin Cities, Duluth, Rochester, and across Minnesota — approximately 3–4 hours from Minneapolis/St. Paul, 1.5 hours from Duluth

What Distinguishes North Lakes From Other Providers

Several factors set the North Lakes program apart from every other option in this guide:

• Board-certified chiropractic neurology (DACNB) — the highest neurological credential in the field, not found at other Minnesota neuro intensive providers
• Over 10 years of dedicated neurointensive programming experience with children
• Full-spectrum functional neurology assessment that evaluates the entire neurological system — not just one area
• Integration of chiropractic adjustments as a core neurological tool — not an add-on — addressing spinal subluxation as a source of disrupted brain-body communication
• Functional medicine integration through Dr. Dajana Condos, DC, for nutritional and systemic support alongside neurological care
• Personalized programs: no two children receive the same treatment plan
• Non-medication approach for ADHD, behavioral, and developmental challenges

#2 — Infinity Neuromotor Development Center of Minnesota

Twin Cities Metro Area  ·  minnesotainfinity.com

Infinity Neuromotor Development Center is a multi-state clinic network (Iowa, Minnesota, Colorado) that offers neuromotor intensive programs for children using a multi-disciplinary model. The Minnesota location serves the greater Twin Cities area and is part of the broader Infinity system founded around the work of Dr. Josh Madsen.

Program Details

• Format: Multi-week intensive programs; 2+ hours per day for approximately 5–10 days per intensive
• Approach: The ‘Infinity Method’ — integrates functional neuroscience, chiropractic care, speech therapy, neuromotor rehabilitation, and nutrition into a whole-child treatment plan
• Assessment: Evaluates primitive reflex retention, vestibular development, eye tracking function, and neurodevelopmental status
• Conditions treated: Developmental delays, ADHD, autism, dyslexia, learning delays, primitive reflex retention, vestibular and balance issues, traumatic brain injury, developmental coordination disorder
• Post-program: Customized home care plan with exercises and follow-up recommendations provided after each intensive
• Insurance: Does not accept insurance; CareCredit financing accepted

Infinity is a strong option for Twin Cities families looking for a multi-disciplinary neuromotor intensive program with speech therapy integrated into the model. The Minnesota location is part of a broader network, which means protocols are more standardized across sites than a single-practice clinic. Families traveling from outside the metro may find North Lakes more logistically practical.

#3 — A Chance To Grow — Neuro Integrative Clinic

Northeast Minneapolis, Minnesota  ·  actg.org  ·  (612) 789-1236

A Chance To Grow (ACTG) is a long-established nonprofit organization in Northeast Minneapolis offering a range of brain-centered therapy services, including a Neuro Integrative Clinic that provides intensive programs for children and adults. ACTG is one of the more established names in neurological therapy in the Twin Cities.

Program Details

• Format: Intensives structured at 4–6 hours per week; session rates available for individual and co-treatment (two therapists simultaneously)
• Approach: Combines developmental movement, occupational therapy, sensory processing therapies, primitive reflex remediation, and functional vision — with referrals to ACTG’s audiology, neurofeedback, and speech therapy services as appropriate
• Assessment: Initial screening evaluates reflex patterns, developmental movement, functional vision, and auditory integration
• Conditions treated: Developmental and learning delays (ADHD, ADD, anxiety), autism, cerebral palsy, TBI, fetal alcohol syndrome, sensory processing disorders, vestibular and balance issues
• Ages served: Children and adults
• Caregiver involvement: Caregivers are actively included in sessions and trained to support home follow-through
• Nonprofit: ACTG is a 501(c)(3) organization; some insurance accepted for OT and speech services (Neuro Integrative Clinic is private pay)

ACTG’s Neuro Integrative Clinic has a strong track record and deep service integration under one roof. It’s worth noting that their intensive format (hours per week rather than daily consecutive sessions) differs from the daily concentrated model used at North Lakes — a distinction that may matter depending on your child’s needs and what research on neuroplasticity suggests about session frequency.

#4 — Children’s Minnesota — Neuromotor Intensive Clinic

Minneapolis & Roseville, Minnesota  ·  childrensmn.org  ·  (612) 813-8700

Children’s Minnesota is the state’s largest pediatric health system and operates a Neuromotor Intensive Clinic through its physical rehabilitation department. Their intensive programs are hospital-based and physician-ordered, making them a strong fit for children with medically complex conditions or those who need care within a traditional healthcare system.

Program Details

• Format: Concentrated physical and occupational therapy in an intensive format; exact scheduling determined by child’s program and needs
• Approach: Neuromotor intensive programs including constraint-induced movement therapy (CIMT), bimanual therapy, and goal-directed OT intensive — focused primarily on motor skill development
• Specialist team: Occupational therapists and physical therapists; neurologist referral and collaboration available through Children’s Minnesota’s broader neuroscience department
• Conditions treated: Motor delays and weakness, hemiplegia, movement disorders, neurodevelopmental challenges affecting physical function
• Physician’s order required: All children must have a referral from a primary care provider or specialist
• Insurance: Accepts many forms of private insurance and Minnesota medical assistance

Children’s Minnesota is the right choice for families who need hospital-based care, insurance coverage, and physician oversight — particularly for children with medically complex motor conditions like hemiplegia or cerebral palsy. Families looking for functional neurology-based care, primitive reflex remediation, vestibular therapy, or a non-medication ADHD/autism approach are better served by the specialized providers above.

How to Choose the Right Clinic for Your Child

Every family’s situation is different. Here’s a straightforward framework for narrowing down your choice:

• If your child has autism, ADHD, developmental delays, or sensory processing challenges — and you want the deepest neurological evaluation available: North Lakes Chiropractic & Functional Neurology (#1) is the strongest option. The DACNB credential, decade-long track record with neurointensive programs, and integration of chiropractic neurology with vestibular, vision, and reflex therapy offers a level of neurological precision that other providers in Minnesota don’t match.
• If you’re in the Twin Cities and need speech therapy integrated into the intensive: Infinity Neuromotor Development Center (#2) builds speech therapy into the program alongside functional neuroscience and neuromotor rehab — a strong multi-disciplinary option for families who can’t easily travel to Grand Rapids.
• If you’re in the Minneapolis area and want a nonprofit option with deep OT/sensory expertise: A Chance To Grow’s Neuro Integrative Clinic (#3) has a strong reputation, accepts some insurance for associated therapies, and integrates neurofeedback, audiology, and vision services under one roof.
• If your child has a medically complex motor condition and needs hospital-based care with insurance coverage: Children’s Minnesota Neuromotor Intensive Clinic (#4) is the appropriate choice — though families should understand that the focus is primarily motor rehabilitation, not functional neurology-based care.
