NACD initiated and completed a study looking at parents’ perception of change in their child’s function with use of TLP. The report is currently pending review for publication in a scientific journal.

In addition, NACD collaborated with researchers at the University of South Dakota on a study of the benefits of TLP Level One. This study is still in process at the current time.
