About this course

The rapidly increasing prevalence of neurodevelopment disorders is frightening. Some estimates quote that the likelihood of a child being born with ASD was 1:150 in 2000. That has now increased to 1:59 in 2014. That’s a very rapid rise and it is estimated that by the year 2032 if the increase in autism continues unabated 1 child in 2 will be on the spectrum!

Autism Spectrum Disorder is a serious, disabling condition that befuddles modern medicine. It is, however, a condition where natural medicine practitioners have a sizable ability to assist. These children often have above average intelligence however their condition prevents them from achieving what other children are able to. A natural approach to care that understands the major contributors and addresses the underlying neurological defects has had amazing effects on the lives of many, many people.
