New Bridge Laundromat & Dry Cleaners Opens Its Doors 24 Hours a Day Five Days a Week

New Bridge Laundromat & Dry Cleaners located in Bergenfield, NJ has opened their doors 24 hours, five days a week to better serve their customers.

Bergenfield, NJ, Wednesday – December 28, 2011 — New Bridge Laundromat & Dry Cleaners ( http://www.NewBridgeLaundromat.com ) has opened their doors 24 hours, five days a week to better serve their customers, announces owner Steven Porada.

As the owner, Steven Porada is always talking with customers, looking for feedback as to how he can make their laundromat experience, a better one. One of the most frequent requests he got was to open the store earlier or keep it open later. The laundromat used to open at 7 am and would close its doors at 10:30 pm with the last wash at 9 pm. When customers told him to extend his hours he would jokingly say “I might as well be open 24 hours,” and that is exactly what happened.

New Bridge Laundromat used to open its doors at 7 am which did not leave customers enough time in the morning to do laundry, get the kids to school and make it to work on time. Now that this laundromat is open 24 hours a day, five days out of the week, customers have the option of coming in at 5 am or 6 am, spending two hours on laundry, and still having enough time to drop their children off at school and make it to work – an option many customers now prefer.

For those who prefer doing laundry in the evening, the last wash time was not always convenient either. They would explain that by the time they got home from work, ran errands, cooked, cleaned, ate dinner, helped the kids with their homework and put them to bed it was already 9 pm or 10 pm, and they had missed the last wash. With the store now open 24 hours starting Thursday night and going into Friday, Saturday, Sunday, and Monday into Tuesday morning, there is no last wash and they can get all of their duties done, including laundry.

In the past, patrons were only able to make it to the laundromat on Saturday or Sunday because their busy schedules did not allow for them to come during the week. With the extended hours, the bottleneck that usually occurs before the last wash and the over crowding that occurs on Saturday and Sunday has almost been eliminated. Now that customers have the option, they come early in the morning or late in the evening during the week and free up their weekends for quality time with their families.

New Bridge Laundromat & Dry Cleaners is a local, family owned business that caters primarily to the Bergenfield, NJ community and surrounding towns of Englewood, Dumont, Teaneck, Tenafly, Bogota, & New Milford. They provide residents of these towns with a clean, comfortable, convenient, and affordable place to get their laundry and dry cleaning done.

Free Online Professional ADHD Assessment to Save Money for ADHD Treatment

The problem:

About 10% of children in the US are diagnosed with ADHD, and the numbers are rising. This means that about 5.4 million children are currently diagnosed with ADHD. Many of these children’s parents have paid from $500 to $2,000 for an ADHD assessment for this diagnosis. This amounts to tens of millions of dollars. In difficult financial times, this money would have been better spent on treatment.

The cost of assessment is a barrier to effective treatment for many families. After paying for these expensive assessments, many parents cannot then afford quality treatment. This leaves them limited to the most inexpensive treatment modes, which usually means psychiatric drugs alone. Children benefit more from money spent on treatment that includes parents and deals with behavioral problems than on expensive assessment.

The solution:

“Since medication is certainly not the best treatment choice for most children, I want to reduce the financial barrier to usually more expensive, non-drug treatments. To accomplish this, I now offer a FREE online professional quality ADHD and ODD (Oppositional Defiant Disorder) assessment. This free ADHD and ODD assessment is created in exactly the same way as the expensive assessments are. It gathers teacher and parent data, and compares these to age and sex graded norms. Then it uses decision rules to select a diagnosis and create a comprehensive, multi-page narrative report. The report describes the child’s behavior patterns socially, academically and behaviorally as well as giving treatment recommendations.

In fact, the reports provided by psychologists are usually also computer generated narratives, not individually crafted reports. They are slightly personalized and then explained to the parents. My free report is written in clear and understandable language that requires no professional interpretation to understand. Because this assessment can be done in the convenience of parents home and schedule, it takes less effort, time and, of course, money”, explains Dr. Weathers.

“Users report that the reports very accurately describe their child and the advice is helpful. To quote one mother ‘I couldn’t believe how accurately your report described my son. What was more important is that your description of his problems and the links in the report helped me understand my son’s struggles and how I can begin helping him without drugs. I can’t believe that this was all for free Thank you.’ Once the problem is described as solvable by methods parents can employ, many parents are able to resolve their child’s issues without further professional help”, reports Dr.Weathers.

The spread of sophisticated computer technology has lead to the broad recognition that face to face contact is unnecessary in many areas of medicine. It is being replaced by e-mail and telephone psychotherapy, telephone and email physician consultation, etc. Numerous research studies on remote psychological assessment and treatment have demonstrated its efficacy in a wide range of settings. This can make assessment more convenient and affordable, and in this case, free.

Free ADHD help action steps:

1) Take the free ADHD-ODD online test at: http://bit.ly/hOvpWK, which will be emailed to parents within 1/2 hour.

2) Read the description and advice in the report to understand your child’s struggles.

3) Learn how to help your child without drugs.
