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 Homeostatic Control of Brain Function written by Detlev Boison and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2016 with total page 657 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Homeostatic Control of Brain Function offers a broad view of brain health and diverse perspectives for potential treatments, targeting key areas such as mitochondria, the immune system, epigenetic changes, and regulatory molecules such as ions, neuropeptides, and neuromodulators. Loss of homeostasis becomes expressed as a diverse array of neurological disorders. Each disorder has multiple comorbidities - with some crossing over several conditions - and often disease-specific treatments remain elusive. When current pharmacological therapies result in ineffective and inadequate outcomes, therapies to restore and maintain homeostatic functions can help improve brain health, no matter the diagnosis. Employing homeostatic therapies may lead to future cures or treatments that address multiple comorbidities. In an age where brain diseases such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's are ever present, the incorporation of homeostatic techniques could successfully promote better overall brain health. Key Features include · A focus on the homeostatic controls that significantly depend on the way one lives, eats, and drinks. · Highlights from emerging research in non-pharmaceutical therapies including botanical medications, meditation, diet, and exercise. · Incorporation of homeostatic therapies into existing basic and clinical research paradigms. · Extensive scientific basic and clinical research ranging from molecules to disorders. · Emerging practical information for improving homeostasis. · Examples of homeostatic therapies in preventing and delaying dysfunction. Both editors, Detlev Boison and Susan Masino, bring their unique expertise in homeostatic research to the overall scope of this work. This book is accessible to all with an interest in brain health; scientist, clinician, student, and lay reader alike.
Download or read book Autism written by Marga Hogenboom and published by Floris Books. This book was released on 2013-08-22 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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: Autism is epidemic! In 2010 the Centers for Disease Control reported that 1 in 68 children are identified with autism spectrum disorder, a 30 percent increase from 2008 and a 60 percent increase from 2006. Yet, the phrase Autism Spectrum Disorder is simply a label, the underlying causes of the symptoms are rarely diagnosed. Conventional doctors are unable to help because they are restricted by the guidelines of the American Medical Association. So what is a parent to do? Beating Autism is the personal story of Anne Evans's struggle to find answers to the cause and cure of her daughter's condition. Evans left the world of conventional medicine and found not only the source of her daughter's autism, but clear steps to her complete healing, alternative medicine, allergy elimination and Field Control Therapy. She found a combination therapy which brought about a complete reversal of symptoms and healed her daughter without the use of expensive equipment, pharmaceuticals, or surgery. From that moment on, the Evans family used diet, and Integrated Chinese Medicine (ICM) and Field Control Therapy to diagnose the condition of Sarah's brain tissue, analyze her dietary needs, detoxify her organs, and boost and redirect her own immune system to fight off invading pathogens without the use of antibiotics or psychotic drugs. Their daughter showed improvement immediately and recovered completely. Beating Autism is the compelling and true story of the Evans's 3-year struggle battling and overcoming autism. It is a case study that includes full explanations of the weekly drug-free treatments, details of the side effects and their durations, and a complete list of materials, metabolic and psychological tests, laboratories, and clinicians used. For the past 15 years the Evans' daughter has been fully functional with no signs of the disorder.Find out how you can get your child on a path to recovery and beat autism too."

Download or read book Besieged by Behavior Analysis for Autism Spectrum Disorder written by Eric Shyman and published by Lexington Books. This book was released on 2014-12-11 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Beginning with the claim that the field of educating individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder is hyper focused on behavior analytic methodologies, Eric Shyman proffers a polemic in support of comprehensive educational approaches including relationship-based, sensory, and behavioral components. By tracing the history of the development of behavior analysis, interrogating its connection with Autism Spectrum Disorder, and deeply identifying and exploring the strengths and weaknesses of multiple approaches that have been suggested for individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Shyman argues that for reasons as vast as best practice and social justice, a comprehensive educational approach is the only methodology that could be suitable for the complex and individualized needs presented by individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder.

Download or read book Re Thinking Autism written by Sami Timimi and published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers. This book was released on 2016-05-05 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Challenging existing approaches to autism that limit, and sometimes damage, the individuals who attract and receive the label, this book questions the lazy prejudices and assumptions that can surround autism as a diagnosis in the 21st Century. Arguing that autism can only be understood through examining 'it' as a socially or culturally produced phenomenon, the authors offer a critique of the medical model that has produced a perpetually marginalising approach to autism, and explain the contradictions and difficulties inherent in existing attitudes. They examine and dispute the scientific validity of diagnosis and 'treatment', asking whether autism actually exists at the biological level, and question the value of diagnosis in the lives of those labelled with autism. The book recognises that there are no easy answers but encourages engagement with these essential questions, and looks towards service provision and practice that moves beyond a reliance on all-encompassing labels. This unique contribution to the growing field of critical autism studies brings together authors from clinical psychiatry, clinical and community psychology, social sciences, disability studies, education and cultural studies, as well as those with personal experiences of autism. It is essential and challenging reading for anyone with a personal, professional or academic interest in 'autism'.
