Treatments

Each individual will benefit from a holistic or broad-based approach drawing upon various treatments and therapies unique to their symptoms and abilities. Generally, caregivers should choose treatments for their child's "program" from a variety of areas depending upon the individual's symptoms and the family's beliefs and capabilities.

In choosing biomedical treatments, we strongly recommend the following books:

Autism: Effective Biomedical Treatments by Jon Pangborn, PhD and Sidney MacDonald Baker, MD

Children with Starving Brains - A Medical Treatment Guide for Autism Spectrum Disorder by Jaquelyn McCandless, MD
