Book excerpt: Educating and caring for an autistic child is a severely difficult task, too often associated with frustration and disappointment. As a result, the inner development of children with autism is at times considered to be beyond the reach of parents and carers. This book challenges that assumption, exploring case studies where therapy based on a holistic approach has resulted in marked improvements in the autistic child's behaviour and social integration. With an extended holistic programme, autistic children discover inner self-awareness and self-recognition, leading to first steps in relationships and social skills. The authors describe in detail their own practical experiences, as well as the findings of other experts in the field. This new third edition covers recent developments in diagnostic methods and approaches to treatment, including new case studies and a new chapter looking at the sensory aspect of autism and Sensory Integration Therapy. Well-researched and movingly written, this book has an essential, positive message for all those involved in the care and education of autistic children.

Book excerpt: "The incidence of autism in young children has drastically increased in the past 25 years. This book delves into the scientific research which suggests that the main causes of autism spectrum disorder are environmental factors. Studies confirm that autism is not an inherited genetic disorder, but rather a disease caused by environmental factors triggering inflammation in the brain, especially the cerebellum, limbic system and neocortex, which causes the typical symptoms involved in diagnoses. Dr. Blomberg describes the multiple steps that can be taken to heal, which begins with managing the inflammatory process in the gut and brain and then implementing Blomberg Rhythmic Movement Training®, which is based on innate, developmental movements"--

Download or read book Holistic Functional Approach to Autism written by Vladimir Matvievskiy PhD and published by AuthorHouse. This book was released on 2013-07-15 with total page 153 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Within a sea of stories about autism, this is the only book that describes precise, functional self-control in order to overcome an autistic state. Video episodes of the case study demonstrate the systematic functional procedures, which help the low-functioning autistic boy to overcome autism radically due to learning functional self-control. In the text, each functional step and the holistic strategy have neurophysiologic explanations, and the results are introduced as predictable, observable, and measurable. Such breakthrough results are possible only in the case of an autistic person learning self-control over neurodynamic changes and following it in direct interactions with his surroundings in everyday living. The author of the book, the practitioners, and the family of the boy came with the boy through the series of natural experiments, experiencing the similar neurodynamic responses with the purpose to conduct and teach him precise self-control. The author scans the controlling process over the holistic, functional neurodynamic corrections. The content of the book is elicited from that actual process and for the purpose of such actual self-control. Knowing and controlling neurodynamic functioning for a normal person might be as natural as cleaning teeth or using a napkin. For an autistic child and for his parents, however, it is the only chance to overcome pervasive neurodynamic disorders. Nowadays parents face the problem of such self-control issues as neurodynamic shock. Only those who badly need it and rather deeply accept the approach are ready to learn it by doing, to test with their children the similar neurodynamic changes, and they always obtain success.

Download or read book Methods of Treating Autism written by Elzbieta Trylinska-Tekielska and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, the autism spectrum in children has been increasingly recognized. Parental awareness and the knowledge of health professionals are critical to the early diagnosis of autistic disorders. The autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder. The diagnosis of autism spectrum disorders is made on the basis of observation of behavior in three areas: social interaction, communication, and behavioral rigidity. The most common diagnosis is in children around 2,Äì5¬†years of age, but the autism spectrum can be diagnosed at any age, also in adulthood. As the spectrum of autism varies, symptoms of autism may differ slightly from person to person. In order to exclude the presence of ASD in a child or adult, it is necessary to diagnose with the use of various tools, in which both a psychologist-diagnostician and a psychiatrist are involved. After diagnosis, the next important step is to include therapeutic and rehabilitation activities aimed at improving the functioning of the individual in disturbed areas. Lack of proper rehabilitation may lead to profound functional disturbances at a later age.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “An in-depth, scientific—yet hopeful and positive—look at how the brain and body work together . . . [Dr. Martha Herbert] has developed a new way of seeing autism.”—Library Journal After years of treating patients and analyzing scientific data, Harvard Medical School researcher and clinician Dr. Martha Herbert offers a revolutionary new view of autism and a transformative strategy for dealing with it. Autism, she concludes, is not a hardwired impairment programmed into a child’s genes and destined to remain fixed forever. Instead, it is the result of a cascade of events, many seemingly minor. And while other doctors may dismiss your child’s physical symptoms—the anxiety, sensory overload, sleeplessness, frequent illnesses or seizures—as coincidental or irrelevant, Dr. Herbert sees them as vital clues to what the underlying problems are, and how to help. Drawing from the newest research, technologies, and insights, as well as inspiring case studies of both children and adults, Dr. Herbert guides you toward restoring health and resiliency in your loved one with autism. Her specific recommendations aim to provide optimal nutrition, reduce toxic exposures, limit stress, and open the door to learning and creativity. As thousands of families who have cobbled together these solutions themselves already know, this program can have dramatic benefits—for your child with autism, and for you, your whole family, and perhaps your next baby as well. “Invaluable . . . a must-read . . . Dr. Martha Herbert gets it. She not only gets it, but she puts it out there in an awesome book so the rest of us can get it, too.”—Autism Watch “[Herbert] goes further than most autism specialists. Her impressive science background merges with common sense and even intuitive sense [making] complex scientific and medical materials seamlessly blend with a holistic viewpoint.”—Relieve Autism “Hope and practical guidance . . . With this easy-to-read book, parents can gain wisdom on how to guide your child to achieve a healthy and thriving life.”—Mom Central

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Autism is a complex multifaceted disorder affecting neurodevelopment during the early years of life and, for many, throughout the life span. Inherent features include difficulties or deficits in communication, social interaction, cognition, and interpersonal behavioral coordination, to name just a few. Autism profoundly impacts the affected individual, the family, and, in many cases, the localized communities. The increased prevalence of childhood autism has resulted in rapid developments in a wide range of disciplines in recent years. Nevertheless, despite intensive research, the cause(s) remain unresolved and no single treatment strategy is employed. To address these issues, Comprehensive Guide to Autism is an all-embracing reference that offers analyses and discussions of contemporary issues in the field of autism. The work brings together scientific material from leading experts in the field relating to a wide range of important current topics, such as the early identification and treatment of children with autism, pertinent social and behavioral studies, recent developments in genetics and immunology, the influence of diet, models of autism, and future treatment prospects. Comprehensive Guide to Autism contains essential readings for behavioral science researchers, psychologists, physicians, social workers, parents, and caregivers.
