Neurobehavior Home Program

Neurobehavior Home Program is a doctor-led medical and mental health care provider in South Salt Lake, Utah, specializing in coordinated health services for individuals with developmental disabilities across the lifespan. The program offers comprehensive care including annual physical exams, behavior management, psychiatric evaluations, individual and group counseling, medication management, case management, crisis intervention, nutritional counseling, and specialty referrals. Serving patients from childhood through adulthood, the program is designed to meet the complex medical and psychological needs of individuals with intellectual and social functioning impairments linked to conditions such as autism spectrum disorders, genetic disorders, birth trauma, and brain injuries. It operates under a Medicaid-based care model, providing integrated primary and mental health services through University of Utah Health.

The Neurobehavior HOME Program originated in 1988 as a vision to deliver specialized mental health care to children with developmental disabilities and evolved into a formal clinic in 1990 at Primary Children’s Hospital, founded by Dr. David Nilsson, Dr. Douglas Gray, Dr. Rich Ferre, and Dr. Jack Madsen. Dr. Madsen’s dedication to patients continued until his passing, and Dr. Scott Stiefel later led the program’s expansion. The clinic eventually moved to University of Utah Research Park, where it became a center of excellence in neurobehavioral care. The program continues to serve over 1,000 individuals annually, integrating medical, psychiatric, and behavioral services through a team of providers trained in developmental disabilities.

Located at 240 E Morris Ave, the program sits just a short distance from South Salt Lake City Hall, Dwight D. Eisenhower Highway, and Whitlock Park, with Little Rascals Children’s Center and the South Salt Lake Off-Leash Dog Park nearby. State Street lies about a third of a mile to the east.

With a 4.3-star rating from six reviews, the program is recognized for its specialized, patient-centered care for individuals with complex needs, offering coordinated services that improve access and continuity of care. Its long-standing presence and integration within University of Utah Health underscore its role as a trusted provider in the region.
