The Davis Autism Approach is a new, unique and innovative approach to correcting Autism Spectrum Disorders including Asperger's and PDD-NOS. The approach is also very useful to clients with ADD (either type). The program has 3 separate parts. First is called individuation, where we help the client to integrate their senses and begin to accurately perceive their environment. Second is the identity development portion of the program where missing information about how the world works is put into the client's existing identity allowing them to interact with their environment and the people in it in an appropriate way. Last is the social integration piece of the program which allows for full participation in life. We also have a pilot project serving non-verbal clients. Please call or email for more details. |

Children can present very differently and we search to find the underlying cause. Each child is unique and their health care and plan needs to be as well. We are unable to effectively treat one area of the body without considering the whole. At Wellpath Clinic we have a thorough evaluation process and focus on individualized care. We evaluate what we need to get rid of in the body and where the body needs to support health and track and make modifications accordingly. This takes time and commitment. Our goal is an improved quality of life and our mission is recovery. http://www.wellpathclinic.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Autism%20Wellpath%20Clinic.pdf |
