Program Guidance
Primary treatment is acupuncture point therapeutic massage (i.e. Wu’s Tui-na) with supplemental internal treatment of Chinese herbal medicine. Chinese medicine is a holistic medicine. It treats body as a whole. By improving all the elements of the body, the brain development can be advanced. Human body is a self-healing organism. Chinese medicine has its complete theories on how to improve human body’s self-healing capability.
Requires 3 to 6 treatments weekly. Each treatment lasts for about half hour. Obvious improvement can be expected within 2 months.
Diagnosis is given at the first visit and estimate for the treatment duration will be assessed.
Parents should pay close attention to your child’s language and behavior changes during the period of treatment. Such information should be voluntarily shared with your doctor so that better and more appropriate treatment plan can be designed for the most effective results.
Parents must reinforce and give their child specific language and behavior training according to doctor’s guidance. The doctor will give specific guidance to parents based on the specific case. But this task is mainly carried out by parents. Committed parents are the best teacher to teach the child they love.
Please bring the following at the first visit:
o A copy of the original record of your child’s autism diagnosis
o A written introduction and record of your child’s overall symptom
o A photo of 2”x2” which can reflect the condition of your child before treatment. Another photo will be taken after the treatment.
