WHAT IT IS

Autism is a complex developmental disorder that typically appears during the first three years of life, often impacting development in the areas of social interaction and communication skills.  Autism is a spectrum disorder, meaning that it affects each individual differently and in varying degrees.  In recent years, there has been a marked increase in the percentage of children on the autism spectrum.

NIHA'S Integrative, Holistic Approach to Autism

Treatment is always individualized to support the body with Nutritional Therapy and natural supplements and can include:

  • -Nutritional counseling
