by Avon Therapeutic Center follows
the Defeat Autism Now approach.
It is a comprehensive rational and
step-wise approach to treatment.
It starts with improving the diet (high
protein, low carbohydrate),removal
of offending agents (dietary elimination of wheat, gluten, casein, yeast,
additives, chemicals); use of anti-fungals; restoration of the normal gut flora
with acidophilus and multidophilus; normalization of gut function including
digestive enzymes; removal of toxic metals through chelation; vaccine
precaution; anti-virals (including vitamin A, immunotherapy); Secretin;
detoxification; and correction of nutrient and vitamin deficiencies.
Auditory Integration Training
The Berard method of AIT is one of the most effective interventions now
available for the enhancement of sensory integration, listening skills,
receptive and expressive language, learning, socialization, and reduction
of sound sensitivity. When individuals experience difficulty with sensory
integration, and auditory perceptual and processing skills, it interferes with
the ability to interpret daily experiences accurately and efficiently. The
ability to understand what is heard and effectively communicate ideas
and needs is compromised. As a result, behavioral issues often arise
and socials skills may be affected; development may be hindered and
the individuals may not be able to reach their full potential.
