Publisher's Synopsis
Each year when more than 50,000 American families receive an autism diagnosis, they find themselves asking the same question: What can we do to help our child? The conventional approach is to medicate difficult behaviors-suppressing symptoms while leaving underlying health challenges untouched. But now, Dr. Janet Lintala, founder of the Autism Health Center and a mother of an autistic child herself, shares the protocols used in her practice to target the underlying issues associated with autism in order to bring transformative results: less pain, less aggression, and more receptivity toward behavioral and educational interventions. By providing clear explanations, detailed protocols, and examples, Dr. Lintala teaches parents how to act quickly to restore their child's health, self-control, and language so that these children can reach their full potential.
