Chicago, IL (PRWEB) October 12, 2011
Special Learning, Inc., an online comprehensive Autism solutions company, today announced its partnership with Balancing Point Center for Wellness, an integrated wellness and fertility clinic located in Chicago. Special Learning will work with Balancing Point to develop a Complementary Alternative Medicine (CAM) practice for individuals with Autism. In delivering the service, Balancing Point will use research-based treatment protocols proven to be safe and effective to develop and implement individualized, holistic treatment programs for individuals with Autism.
Autism is fast becoming one of the most prevalent disorders affecting children. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC, 2010), Autism affects 1 in 110 children in the United States alone. With estimated growth rates of 10 to 17% annually, Autism is reaching epidemic proportions.
Use of alternative medical therapies is popular among families with Autism as parents try unproven therapies in an effort to provide a better life for their children. Unfortunately, some alternative care providers rely upon a single therapy method to treat specific symptoms, which is often short of addressing the overall, comprehensive and specific needs of individuals with Autism. Yet the rise in popularity of alternative treatments continues to rise. Accordingly, as the use of CAM treatments is so prevalent in individuals with Autism, the American Academy of Pediatrics has even issued a position statement that advises pediatricians to be supportive of families in their search for alternative treatment methods.
Through this partnership, Special Learning and Balancing Point Center for Wellness will develop a model for delivering a system of outcomes-based, complementary, integrated care that works closely with conventional medical interventions and Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) therapies to positively impact the lives of people with Autism spectrum disorder.
