Ronald Steven Federici has often been described as a leading expert in the neuropsychological evaluation and treatment of children having multi-sensory neurodevelopmental impairments.
He is best described as a developmental neuropsychologist, specializing in the treatment of “institutional autism” (which he also calls “post-traumatic autism,” or “post-institutional autistic syndrome”).
Dr. Federici is licensed by the Virginia Board, and is the holder of a Psy. D. degree. Copies of his credentials are available upon request.
Dr. Ronald Federici is the author of “Help for the Hopeless Child: A Guide for Families, With Special Discussion for Assessing and Treating the Post-Institutionalized Child” and is the founder of The Russian Ukrainian Private Adoption Project.
Dr. Federici is an advocate for all adopted children, and is known as an outspoken opponent of dangerous practices, such as those resulting in the death of Candace Newmaker. In addition, he has also sought to provide as much assistance as possible to children living in orphanages and other institutions with deplorable conditions.
Dr. Federici provides the following services as part of the Project:
• Evaluation of medical records
• Consulting on medical aspects of adoption
• Recommending and implementing treatment plans
He has worked with adopted children from Russia, Romania, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus. He is also the father to seven adopted children of his own. All of these were independent adoptions, so he knows the process well. He gives each adoption his personal attention, and is looking forward to hearing from you!
