I have always believed that food is medicine–that is why I became a dietitian. As a child I always wanted to be a doctor and work with children, but as I learned more about health as I grew up, I decided food and nutrition is the way to go. Specializing in nutrition for Autism Spectrum Disorders (including ADD, ADHD, PDD-NOS, Asperger's, SPD) has been incredibly rewarding for me because nutriton makes a BIG difference!
- Proper nutrition helps children function at their full potential so they may fully benefit from therapy sessions.
- Limited food acceptance causes nutrient deficiencies, which, paired with other health and lifestye factors, can be detrimental to the health of a child on the spectrum.
- We aim to optimize your child's health in order to enhance their overall quality of life.
DID YOU KNOW? Children on the spectrum need nutrition interventions more than those not on the spectrum!
