Dr. Keri Chiappino DC, DACNB BCN is hosting a lecture in recognition of Autism Awareness month to shed light on non-drug therapies to combat symptoms of Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) for those seeking holistic healing therapies. The lecture will address the repetitive behaviors frequently exhibited by those on the spectrum, commonly referred to as “stimming” as well as impulsivity and other behavioral issues. Parents and caregivers will gain an understanding of why their child adopts specific ritualistic behaviors and learn about tools to better manage symptoms. The benefits of neurofeedback to retrain abnormal brain-wave patterns that trigger stimming behaviors will be covered as well as the role of diet and nutritional supplementation in the overall therapy plan.
Dr. Chiappino's lecture is aimed at those who are concerned with the side effects of psychotropic drugs on their child or who wish an alternative to a lifetime dependence on these medications. Attendees will learn there is a viable, effective and evidence-based path toward achieving a child’s optimal learning potential that is natural, produces no negative side effects and can be long-lasting. Attendees will be entered into a raffle for a chance to win a free QEEG brain map evaluation that identifies abnormal brain-wave patterns that trigger symptoms ($150 value). $10 workshop fee to be donated in its entirety to a local special ed PTA.
