*An Update On CAM In Autism: Perspectives From a Child Psychiatrist
Brief Description: A number of treatments, both traditional and non-traditional, are utilized in the management and care of children and young adults with autism spectrum disorders. This review will attempt to assimilate and summarize in a clear, balanced fashion the diverse body of research in the non-traditional or “complementary and alternative” approaches to autism. Topics addressed will include herbal and vitamin supplements, probiotics, mind-body medicine, and dietary modifications.
Speaker(s): Greg Thorkelson
*A Framework For Understanding The Biomedical Presentation Of Children With Autism
Brief Description: Emerging science supports the concepts that central nervous system changes underlying autism are, in part, created by micronutrient deficiencies, excessive immunological responses, and loss of immune tolerance to certain foods and chemicals. This presentation seeks to provide a framework for understanding this emerging paradigm, and will summarize a range of treatment approaches that correspond to each area of the framework.
Speaker(s): Scott Faber
