CONFERENCE OVERVIEW
1 in 36 children have autism. Over the years, the routine recommendations made
by the physician have been Speech Therapy (ST), Occupational Therapy (OT),
Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) and special education. Unfortunately, not all
children respond/improve with these therapies. We present a validated method that
has helped 100s of thousands of children on the spectrum academically, socially,
physically and more. Our hope is that "movement method" is incorporated into daily
practice recommendations made by pediatricians, developmentalists, neurologists
and the like as an effective treatment modality for autism.

TARGET AUDIENCE
This conference is designed for pediatricians, family medicine physicians, neurologists,
psychiatrists, psychologists, nurses, occupational therapists, speech therapists, art
therapists, special education teachers, social workers, other interested allied health
professionals, and anyone who wishes to improve care to patients and families
diagnosed with ASD.
