Grant recipients are given vitamins, supplements, two doctor visits with an autism specialist, and a mentor to guide in implementing biomedical treatment and a gluten- and casein- free diet. Families must document their child's progress during the 90-day program.

One of the application's requirements is to complete the ATEC survey, which can be found on the GR Web site here.. We will continue to post new information on our Web site as details develop.

Autism seminar for doctors to be held Feb. 20-21 in Los Angeles
Doctors: By the nature of your professional training, you are ideally suited to expand your practice and provide the natural health care that parents of autistic children are seeking. Join us Saturday and Sunday, February 20-21, 2010 in Marina del Rey (in the Los Angeles area) and learn how to treat the most challenging and gratifying patients of your career. If you are already treating patients on the spectrum, the additional tools you will gain will make your work easier, quicker, and more effective. If you are not treating autistic patients yet, then don't miss this clinical seminar that can take your practice and your professional satisfaction to a higher level. We will combine the best of conventional and functional medicine's diagnostic and lab assessment tools with the best of natural, non-drug therapies to treat for a cure. For more information or to register for the seminar, contact Dr.. James Blumenthal's office at the Brain Performance Center at the Applied Kinesiology Center of Los Angeles at (310) 445-3350.
