Autism recovery via natural and biomedical interventions
Dr. Lisa Hannifin embraces the Defeat Autism Now!® Philosophy. Her approach is based on paying careful attention to the unique symptoms, history, examinations and data of each child. She offers a process of choosing various options for biomedical intervention. Autism and related problems reflect dysfunction of the neural, metabolic, immune and/or digestive systems in individuals genetically predisposed to such problems as sub-optimal nutrition, food intolerances, microbial overgrowth, metabolic abnormalities, immune dysregulation and reduced ability to eliminate toxins.
She rejects one-size-fits-all strategies while including the broad range of diagnostic and treatment modalities that are appropriate to each patient. We look for ways to support nature’s strong impulse toward healing. We also value relational, occupational, physical, speech, educational, and other external therapies, many of which become far more efficacious once underlying biomedical conditions are addressed. While our focus is on biomedical interventions and chiropractic to restore optimal function, we look for opportunities to collaborate with our educational, behavioral, physical, and speech therapies and colleagues.
