Integrative Pediatric Neurology: ADHD & Autism

The prevalence of ADHD and autism have skyrocketed over the past couple decades. In 2016, an estimated 6.1 million children in the United States were diagnosed with ADHD, a prevalence of 9.46%. 3.8 million of these children were taking a stimulant medication such as Ritalin (CDC, 2018). This is up from 150,000 in 1970 and less than a million as recently as 1990. There is no biological explanation for such variation, indicating the very powerful effect of socioeconomic, political, educational, or other factors in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD.

Families who are apprehensive about the side effects of medications for pediatric neurological disorders are turning to integrative medicine for options. Children with ADHD or autism can respond well to personalized care that emphasizes diet, nutrients, gut health, and environmental factors. This course emphasizes the need for health professionals who treat ADHD to become familiar with the various integrative treatments which are available and to be able to counsel parents effectively concerning these treatments. Pediatric providers will benefit from exploring evidence-based integrative options to complement pharmacologic and cognitive behavioral treatments.

Course Objectives

At the end of this course, participants will be able to:

1. Describe the risk and benefits of integrative approaches (including elimination diet, dietary supplement use, and lifestyle interventions) to address ADHD and differentiate ADHD from other psychosocial, psychological and neurocognitive conditions.
2. Counsel families regarding best approaches to diagnose ADHD, and how to implement appropriate integrative approaches with children who have an ADHD diagnosis
3. Describe the risks and benefits of integrative approaches to Autism and counsel patients and their families on how to implement appropriate integrative approaches.
