Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about the N.O.M.A.D. program and family sign-up process.
What is the goal of this sign-up?
This sign-up allows families in your region to express their interest in bringing an ICONIX Learning Clinic to their community. Once 20 families commit, the region becomes eligible for a N.O.M.A.D. clinic launch, where a master clinician travels to establish the clinic and begin serving families.
What is the N.O.M.A.D. program?
N.O.M.A.D. stands for National Outreach for Multi-Site Advancement of Developmental Visual Learning. Through this program, a master clinician travels to communities that are ready to launch a clinic. During a three-month launch period, the clinician works directly with families while training local clinicians to continue operating the clinic long-term.
Is this sign-up a binding contract?
No. Submitting your information represents a serious expression of interest, but it is not a binding contract. This form simply allows us to determine when enough families are ready to support a clinic launch in your region.
What happens when 20 families sign up?
When a region reaches 20 committed families, our team will reach out to every family who signed up to confirm participation. At that time, we will provide full program details including scheduling, location information, and program costs. Families who wish to participate will then be asked to complete registration and submit the required payment or deposit to reserve their clinic spot.
What if someone signs up but later decides not to participate?
That's completely okay. If some families decide not to move forward when the clinic launch is confirmed, we will continue reaching out to additional interested families until the clinic has 20 confirmed participants.
When will the clinic actually start?
Once 20 families confirm participation and complete registration, the N.O.M.A.D. clinician will be scheduled to begin the three-month clinic launch program in your region.
What happens during the three-month launch period?
During the launch period, the NOMAD clinician will:
- Begin working directly with participating families
- Establish the clinic's operational structure
- Train local clinicians to deliver the program
At the end of the three months, the clinic transitions to locally trained clinicians, allowing the NOMAD clinician to travel to another region and launch additional clinics.
What if my region hasn't reached 20 families yet?
Your sign-up helps build momentum. As more families commit, the hotspot on the map will move closer to the 20-family launch threshold. You can also share the page with other families in your area who may benefit from the program.
Do I need to live in the exact city shown on the map?
No. The city listed represents the general region where the clinic may be located. Families from surrounding communities are welcome to participate.
Can I ask questions before committing?
Absolutely. If you have questions about the program, the clinic model, or whether it may be a good fit for your child, you can contact our team for more information.
Can I refer another family?
Yes. In fact, referrals are one of the fastest ways to bring a clinic to your community. You can share this page with other families who may benefit from Developmental Visual Learning.
How will I know when the clinic is getting close to launching?
As the number of committed families increases, the hotspot on the map will update to show progress toward the 20-family launch threshold. We will also contact families directly as the region approaches launch readiness.
Why do you require 20 families before launching a clinic?
Launching a clinic requires significant resources, including bringing a NOMAD clinician to the region and training local professionals. Reaching the 20-family threshold ensures the clinic can be established successfully and sustained within the community.
What if I'm the only one interested in my area?
You're probably not. Many families assume they are the only ones looking for help in their region, but once a few families commit, others often follow. Your sign-up helps us identify communities where interest is growing and makes it easier for other families to join.
What if we reach 20 families but I decide it's not the right time?
That's completely okay. When a region reaches 20 families, we will reach out to each family individually to confirm participation and share full program details before registration is finalized. At that point, you can decide whether you'd like to move forward.
What if my child's needs are different from other children?
Every child is different, and the clinic model is designed with that in mind. The goal of Developmental Visual Learning is to support the underlying developmental foundations that help children learn, process information, and engage with the world more effectively. Families will receive more detailed information about the program once the clinic launch is being confirmed.
Can I help bring a clinic to my community faster?
Yes. Many clinics launch more quickly because families share the opportunity with others in their community. If you know families who may benefit, you can share the sign-up page with them. Reaching the 20-family threshold is what allows a clinic to be launched in your region.
