15th International Conference
SPRING: May 17-19th, 2024
The Neurodiverse Patient: Adults and Children
Spectrums Including: Autism, Attention Deficit, Neuroinflammation - PANS, and More
Neurodiversity: Our awareness has progressed from a marginalized portion of our patient population to a much broader group of people we see daily. Our understanding of the neurodiverse spectrum is evolving continuously. We now see that (while often discrete in presentation) there are crossover points creating exaggerated symptom pictures in our patient populations. Because of this, the integrative and naturopathic community is uniquely poised to help these populations. This conference will bring the practitioner up to date on assessment and integrative therapies in this important patient group.
