Announcing CHILD
Treatment and Consulting Services
by Lawrence Bronstein, DC
I am extremely excited to announce the creation of CHILD Treatment and Consulting Services. I am teaming up with Deborah Golden Alecson for the purpose of educating and empowering local families with the treatments and approaches utilized in the integrative healthcare model.
Our mission is to help and support those children with cognitive, behavioral, and health challenges by using traditional interventions, integrated special education services, along with biomedical approaches. We offer dietary and nutritional counseling, enzyme therapy, chiropractic, applied kinesiology and the BioSET™ health system for allergy support. Our approach and involvement in a child's care augments, but does not replace standard and appropriate pediatric and medical evaluation and care.
Ms. Alecson, M.S. is a special educator, early interventionist and author of, Alternative Treatments for Children Within the Autism Spectrum (1999, Keats Publishing). In addition to my practice as a Chiropractor, I am a Certified Nutritional Specialist, Diplomate of the American Board of Clinical Nutrition, Certified BioSET™ Practitioner and I am Certified in Applied Kinesiology.
We also offer consultations to determine the need for further diagnostics and treatments, as well as providing referrals to medical practitioners, occupational, physical and speech therapists, vision specialists; and other allied health care providers.
Whatever the specific diagnosis, the biomedical approach initially involves trying to determine whether the child has health issues related to deficiencies and/or need for specific essential vitamins and minerals, gastrointestinal problems, high levels of heavy metals and other environmental toxins, food sensitivities and allergies and any other related health issues that may impact autism, learning disabilities, ADD/ADHD, developmental delays, allergies, asthma and other chronic conditions.
Healthcare providers trained in this model approach autism spectrum disorders and other chronic health conditions by addressing these biomedical issues from an integrative perspective augmenting concurrent traditional and appropriate medical care.
The founders of the biomedical approach, Bernard Rimland, Ph.D., Jon Pangborn, Ph.D., and Sidney MacDonald Baker, M.D. helped to start a new paradigm of Integrative Healthcare that stimulated the creation of The Autism Research Institute and Defeat Autism Now!
