The treatment plan when working with kids with Autism addresses two primary goals, physical comfort and wellness, and a healthy primary relationship. To accomplish these things we will focus on finding the source of discomfort, treating it, and increasing your ability to connect and play with your child.
I integrate many treatment modalities to address physical comfort needs, including nutritional health, craniosacral therapy, sound integration therapy, and consultation regarding environmental modifications. As these needs are addressed, you will notice your child becoming more emotionally available to connect with you. As they reach out to you more, you will learn how to read their cues and how to respond to them in a way that will increase their trust in you. This heals the primary relationship. This healing grows your connection with them and allows you to feel an increase in the reciprocal nature of a healthy relationship.
Children with Autism are a wonderful and magical gift! I love these children and have found ways to understand and communicate with them. Everyone can do this. As the parent of a child with Autism, you have a unique and powerful collection of talents within you to be the perfect parent for her/him. I look forward to the opportunity to help you on your journey.
