Children diagnosed with autism have many things in common - behavioural
patterns, nutritional imbalances and they frequently suffer from immune and
intestinal dysfunctions as well as toxic overload. We treat these imbalances
and dysfunctions alongside optimised support to learning. The treatments are
defined individually based on the lab results (private UK labs, NHS and
University laboratories) as well as the child's clinical presentation and
developmental history. The treatments in place include a thorough
re-evaluation of the child's diet, nutritional support and treatment aiming
at improving the child's gut and immune function.
Additional medical support is provided for heavy metal removal.
Children with autism often benefit from a dual approach addressing both
biomedical imbalances and developmental difficulties. Our educational
approach provides a detailed assessment of the child's strengths and
difficulties in all key areas of development (behaviour, communication,
play, fine and gross motor skills, academic skills and socialisation) and
proposes a set of targets with suitable methods to use at home and in a
school environment when appropriate. The approaches we take are:
Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA), Play Therapy and Auditory Integration
Training, depending on the child's profile. We also often combine these with
motor and sensory integration activities. We are also able to provide
support to set up an ABA home programme as well as visit to schools to
assist the child's insertion.

| This site summarises a range of treatments for autism which have helped many children, including the son of the author. It briefly describes the basis for each treatment, and provides onward links to practitioners and organisations that can help. Where possible these are in the UK, as this site is geared towards parents in the UK and Europe. The progress of the author's son, Jamie, is also charted. His has been a long journey which has put huge physical, mental and financial pressure on his parents. But the results show that it is all worthwhile, and it is possible he might be one of those children that fully recover from autism. Autism is Treatable, despite claims to the contrary by the medical establishment. For details please visit the website |
