First Class Reaches Beyond Labels to Enhance Human Functioning

Addressing the root cause of symptomatic behaviors, First Class provides the client and family a clear understanding of neurodevelopmental and social problems, and the tools to help resolve them.  Individualized programs are tailored to address areas of weakness.  All treatment incorporates activities based on advanced research and techniques from proven methods.  One method used is the HANDLE® program.  It has been designed to gently stimulate and strengthen neurological functioning without causing the body’s systems to become stressed or to shut down.  This consistent, gentle approach provides the greatest potential for lifelong change and enhanced learning.

The Autism Network for Dietary Intervention (ANDI) is providing a new parent resource: The Autism-Diet Parent Support System.  This is a list of parents around the United States, Canada, and around the world, who have volunteered to provide support for local families implementing the gluten and casein free diet for children with autism.  

Most of these volunteers have read "Special Diets for Special Kids", by Lisa Lewis, and/or "Unraveling the Mystery of Autism: A Mother's Story of Research and Recovery", by Karyn Seroussi, and have had success treating their own children with dietary intervention. Many are starting up local support groups in their area.
