5-Week Autism Course – Natural Approaches to Autism
June 9, 2011
Tiffany Jackson, ND, owner of EcoHealth & Wellness, LLC and DAN! (Defeat Autism Now!) practitioner is offering a 5-Week Intensive Autism Course, “Natural Approaches to Autism” at Whole Foods Market® starting in June 2011. Classes are held in a private conference room and healthy snacks are provided.
Tiffany has been helping autistic children for over five years. She brings that wealth of information, knowledge and experience to parents though a unique course where parents and therapists can gain in-depth educational and instructional information. The goal of the course is to educate parents and therapists with the alternative resources, updated research, therapies, and holistic approaches that many parents have found to be helpful.
This step-by-step, easy to follow 5-week course guides participants through the maze of biomedical approaches, including the gluten and casein-free diet, general supplement support, and understanding yeast, bacteria and other metabolic and digestive imbalances commonly seen with individuals on the autism-spectrum. By following this course parents will be able to confidently begin their child on holistic therapies.
