1942 Palmer College Graduate
The Mission of

DID YOU KNOW?
Over 1.5 million Americans are affected by autism.
U.S. rate of growth over the last decade:
•Population: 13%
•Non-autism-related disabilities: 16%
•Autism: 173%
Today 50 families in America will find out that
their child has autism. (2001 F.E.A.T)
"Children are one-third of our population and all of our future."
Select Panel for the Promotion of Child Health, 1981

Incidence and Demographics
• Prior to 1985, epidemiologic studies within the US suggested an
incidence of autism of 4 per 10,000 children. (Prevalence of Autism in
Metro Atlanta in 1996, M. Yeargin-Allsopp, et al, Nat’l Center on Birth
Defects and Developmental Disabilities, CDC, Atlanta, GA 1996)
• From Sept. 12, 2001 to Dec. 13, 2001, 600-700 new cases of autism
diagnosed in California alone, representing 7-8 new cases per day.
(Autism 2001: The Silent Epidemic, F. Edward Yazbak, M.D.,
F.A.A.P., Dec. 13, 2001)
• In California, autism has surpassed mental retardation, CP, Epilepsy,
and all other conditions similar to mental retardation as the #1
disability entering California’s Developmental Services System.
• 1 in 250 to 1 in 1000 children in the United States (Nat’l Inst of Mental
Health, January 2003)
• Boys are 3-4 times more likely to become autistic than girls.
• If a family has one child with autism, there is a 5-10 percent chance
that the family will have another child with autism vs. the 0.1-0.2
percent chance of a family that does not have a child with autism.
“Is Your Child At Risk For Autism?”
Does your 18-month-old child's language development seem slow?
Has he lost words that he had once mastered?
Is he unable to follow simple commands such as
"Bring me your shoes?"
When you speak to him does he look away rather than meet your gaze?
Does he answer to his name?
Do you or others suspect hearing loss?
Does he have an unusually long attention span?
Does he often seem to be in his own world?
At 18 months old, a child will typically do the following:
* Point to objects
* Interact with his siblings
* Bring you items to look at
* Look directly at you when you speak to him
* Follow your gaze to locate an object when you point across the room
 Engage in "pretend play" such as feeding a doll or making a toy dog bark
Autism is a developmental disability that impairs social and language development. It occurs in families from every class, culture
and ethnic background. It is not a mental illness and it is not caused by trauma - it is neurobiological and its symptoms can be
greatly reduced by early diagnosis and treatment.
If you are concerned about your answers to some of the above
questions, speak to your pediatrician about an autism screening.
An Early Diagnosis Provides the Best Chance for Success.
Excerpted from Unraveling the Mystery of Autism and Pervasive Developmental Disorder:
A Mother's Story of Research and Recovery, by Karyn Seroussi, published by Simon & Schuster in February 2000.
The diagnosis is NOT the child

Theoretic Etiologies
Genetic Predisposition
• Some immunologic
assault occurs to an
otherwise normally
developing child
between 1 to 2 ½
years of age
Environmental Influences
Theoretic Etiologies
Autoimmunity
• Once activated, the genetic predisposition triggers
an autoimmune response.
• Gut inadequacy
• Allergy
• Yeast and Pathologic bacterial overgrowth
• Inability of the Metalothionine system to eliminate
metals (mercury, lead, aluminum, etc.).
• Frequent antibiotic use
Theoretic Etiologies
Vaccine Reaction
• MMR (Andrew Wakefield)
• Vaccines containing
Thimerosol (removed from
childhood vaccines as of
2001)
• Vaccinating a sick child
• Vaccinating a child who is
also on an antibiotic
• Use of multiple vaccines in
one shot
Seek the wisdom of the ages,
but look at the world through
the eyes of a child.
-Ron Wild
Autism Treatment
methodologies are intended to:
• Engage the
Central Nervous
System
• Heal the gut first
• Provide for
nutrient
absorption
• Remove allergens
Autism Treatment
methodologies are intended to:
• Reduce
autoimmunity
• Improve social
interactions
• Improve focusing
• Allow for the
highest expression
of life possible
Chiropractic Care
• Engages the Central
Nervous System
• Enhances all other
treatment options for
ASD
• Encourages better
social interactions
• Is the foundation of all
treatment rendered by
Kentuckiana
Children’s Center
Pharmaceutical Intervention
• Chemically controls
behavior
• Utilize SSRI’s and other
potentially harmful drugs
• Serve to suppress behavior,
not encourage normal function
• Sometimes necessary when behavior is
dangerous and limits exposure to other
treatment modalities
Nutrition
• Assists in controlling
Leaky Gut Syndrome
• Removal of potential
allergens
• The GF/CF diet
• Salicylates
• Artificial additives
and colorings
(excitotoxins)
Nutritional Supplementation
• Necessary since Leaky Gut
reduces absorption of nutrients
• Needed for removal of mercury
and other toxic metals
• Helps to improve behavior
• Helps to rebuild a brain ravaged by autoimmune
reactions
• Supplements are prescribed in an organized fashion,
never all at once, and always with attention to
potential side effects
Occupational, Physical, &
BehavioralTherapies
• Help to develop delayed
functional skills
• Develop the greatest level of
daily functioning
• Repetitive Therapies increase
the ability to focus
• Strengthen physical experience
of movement and speech
• Develop coordination &
flexibility
Behavioral/Physical
Intervention
• Social
Services
• Sensory
Integration
• Movement
Therapy
• Dance
Therapy
• Art/Play
Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy
• Compliments chiropractic care
• Assists normal pressure dynamics
of the cranium
– Clenching and bruxing is
predominant in ASD
• Allows for relaxation
• Normalizes the autonomic
nervous system’s function
• Helps improve behavior
• Necessarily accompanies all
treatments as a synergist
Our Patients
• 75% fall somewhere on
the Autism Spectrum
• The balance of kids we
see have allergies,
asthma, CP, Down’s
Syndrome, Tourette’s
Syndrome, microcephaly,
traumatic brain injury, &
other neurological
challenges
• Wellness care
• Children subluxate too!
Challenges we face…
• Many of our children have no spoken “language” as
we recognize it or do not speak English
• This requires the development of alternative skills
for communication
– Reading body language
– Interpreting sounds
• Does that noise mean pain?
• Stim? Conversation? Need?
– Using dolls or stuffed animals
so they can indicate with their
hands what hurts, etc.
– Toys, games and child
appropriate equipment
Challenges we face…
• The Chiropractor may
adjust or the Therapist
may treat the children
sitting on the floor or
climbing over tables or
chairs
• It is important to
meet the child
WHERE THEY ARE!
"The potential possibilities of any child
are the most intriguing and stimulating
in all creation." Ray L. Wilbur

previous 6-8 weeks plan
– May include continuation of original treatment
plan with an addition or change in supportive
therapeutic modality(ies)
• May recommend an “INTENSIVE”
• May reduce the treatment plan
– Frequency or modalities
• May refer out for concurrent care
No children are considered ...
MAINTENANCE patients at KCC
• Each child has an optimum potential
• An ongoing assessment is based on careful observation
and constant input from children, parents, staff, other
health care providers
• It is our responsibility to scrutinize each child’s
progress and “RAISE THE BAR”
• This responsibility to the child has led us to
“THE INTENSIVE”
Intensive Care Plan
• An Intensive Care Plan may be created based on
– Referral
– Child’s initial evaluation merits intensive
– Child’s response to care
• Has the child’s progress reached a plateau?
• An Intensive Care Plan consists of a daily
protocol of chiropractic and supportive therapies
administered in ½ day sessions over the course
of 2 weeks with a graduated continuum of up to
4 weeks

We can imagine…
the difference chiropractic can
make in the lives of this group of
young men who are burdened with
so much anger in their young
bodies before they become men
who will enter the world and
partner in parenting the next
generation of children.
Can You?
We create HOPE!
• hope: n. a desire
for the future to
be as good as
you want it to
be.
