Timothy G. Royer is the founder of neurocore. He provides key leadership in all areas of clinical and program development and is largely responsible for neurocore growing into an organization that spans the United States and the world. He currently serves the organization by providing public speaking lectures at schools, universities and corporations to inform others of the neurocore model and works to develop the program in partnerships with schools and corporations all over the country.
Prior to neurocore, Dr. Royer pioneered the behavioral healthcare services at DeVos Children's Hospital in Grand Rapids, MI. His work started the Neurobehavioral Center at DeVos, a first-of-its-kind department of neuropsychologists, neurologists, and behavioral pediatricians working together in concert to address the cognitive, emotional, and behavioral needs of children all over the State of Michigan. Much of his work and research has been published in numerous medical journals, and he was featured on local media several times throughout his tenure at DeVos on a variety of subjects related to behavioral healthcare.
In 2004 he left DeVos Children's Hospital to begin work on the neurocore program with his colleague, Bradley Oostindie. Starting in a one-room office in Grand Rapids, the practice soon grew to a larger office setting in Grandville, MI and ultimately moved into dozens of primary school settings, corporate settings, and peak performance settings such as professional athletic organizations. The neurocore program has since grown to see thousands of children in academic settings, adults in corporate settings, professional athletes, and has been presented to a member of the United States congress in Washington D.C. as a new and innovative model to improve academic performance.
Dr. Royer's educational background consists of an undergraduate degree in psychology from Cedarville University, followed by a doctoral degree in psychology from the Georgia School of Professional Psychology.
