Join Dr. Linda Collins and Sandi Star, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, for an informative seminar on the importance of gluten free nutrition.

Families with autistic children are especially welcomed to attend.

Saturday- April 3rd- 2010 11:00AM-1:00PM

The Gluten and Casein Free Diet for children with autism is a dietary intervention to lessen the digestive and bowel, and behavioral issues sometimes found in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

Recent research indicates that there are children with a genetic predisposition to the disorder, which is then triggered by some as yet undetermined event–a vaccine, environmental toxin, or virus–which can cause a “leaky gut” (sometimes evidenced by resulting chronic loose stools as the child cannot properly digest these proteins). If this happens, wheat and dairy are then metabolized as opiates. It is believed that by eliminating gluten (wheat) and milk protein (casein), the gut will begin to heal and the child’s overall condition will improve somewhat.

With Parent Support Group
Saturday, March 13, 2010  11am-12:30pm

Join us for an exciting yoga workshop for children 6 to 10 years old who have attended STAR Level 2 groups or have been diagnosed with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.

Kids will participate in a 1-hour yoga workshop exploring movement, learning yoga poses, and interacting with peers. The group will be facilitated by a certified yoga instructor with additional behavioral aides for a 1:2 staffing ratio. During this time, parents will participate in a mindfulness-based support group.  This group will combine basic breathing and beginning meditation practices for relaxing and coming back to the present moment.  These practices have been found to reduce stress responses and increase our ability to calm our body and mind.  Meditation practices will be combined with an opportunity to discuss parenting stressors, self-care, and causes of challenging child behaviors with a licensed Clinical Psychologist and other parents of children diagnosed with High Functioning Autism or Asperger’s Syndrome.

At the conclusion of the two workshops, parents will join the kids for a showcase of yoga and healthy snacks. This introductory workshop is part of a new series that will be offered for 4 sessions throughout March and April.

Date:  Saturday, March 13, 2010  11am-12:30pm

Cost: $40/ for both child and parent

This workshop is Limited to 6 children and parents

To register, call 858.566.6514 or sign up on our Event Registration page to reserve your space.

Please Note: If your child has not participated in a STAR Level 2 group, the parent and child must meet 30 minutes prior to the workshop for an intake meeting. The cost for this intake assessment is $45.
