Monthly Learning Series: August
This month’s topic focuses on individuals with autism who have more complex or layered medical challenges. Experts will share approaches to uncover root causes through clinical reasoning, targeted testing, and integrative strategies. Topics include genetics, inflammation, infections, seizures, environmental factors, and emerging therapies. Families will gain a clearer framework for making informed decisions and moving forward with confidence.
Thank you to EEG to Go for sponsoring this month’s learning series.
