I am a Nutritional Therapist with a busy practice in the North West of England, bordering Wales. I am committed to supporting the general development of children and adults on the Autistic Spectrum as best I can.

Defeat Autism Now!

The Defeat Autism Now! movement was formed in 1994 by Drs Rimland, Baker and Pangborn in the US. Its mission is to provide parents and professionals with a consensus as to the safest and most effective treatment options for children with developmental problems on the autism spectrum.

Defeat Autism Now! conferences are now convened twice a year in the States. A movement that started out with 30 researchers, clinicians and parents now has hundreds of practitioners (including medical doctors, nutritionists, naturopaths) and parents world-wide who follow the consensus on treatment.

Many of the practitioners are parents or relatives of children with ASD themselves. I myself follow the protocol developed by the Defeat Autism Now! movement with a member of my extended family.
