“Serving humanity is the way that God has favored, and made it a goal for our lives and a mission for it; serving humanity, not serving a person,” said Imam Musa Sadr who believed in the equality of all people and the right of everyone to live a dignified life and actively engage in their society. Inspired by this vision, the Imam Sadr Foundation (ISF) established the ADIS (Awareness, Diagnosis, Intervention Services) Center in 2019.

This subsidiary of ISF provides interdisciplinary services for individuals aged six months and above who face challenges such as neurodevelopmental, neurological, genetic, metabolic, and mental health disorders, as well as physical disabilities. These conditions often impact developmental and functional aspects and overall quality of life.

The ADIS Center’s mission is to deliver comprehensive, coordinated, effective, informative, rehabilitative, and therapeutic services, including awareness sessions, assessments, intervention plan development, and individualized treatments, while offering support to families. These services are grounded in evidence-based approaches, delivered by a highly qualified multidisciplinary team, and shaped by the integration of learned and best practices. The center utilizes biopsychosocial, person- and family-centered, multidisciplinary, interdisciplinary, and community-based approaches to ensure holistic care.

The ADIS Center provides a range of therapeutic services and is developing additional offerings, including:

• Psychiatry
• Medical-Social Work 
• Public Health 
• Psychotherapy 
• Occupational Therapy 
• Speech-Language Pathology 
• Psychomotor Therapy
• Orthopedagogy
• Physical Therapy

In order to enhance beneficiaries’ self-reliance and ensure successful community integration for a better quality of life for all, the center is committed to:

• Respecting the rights of beneficiaries and maintaining professional confidentiality.
• Providing accurate diagnoses based on scientifically proven evidence.
• Developing appropriate, organized, and targeted treatment plans.
• Providing specialized, comprehensive, and differentiated treatment services.
• Involving parents in the treatment process.
