Presentation Abstract/Bio Website
Biomedicine represents a paradigm shift in care, in getting our children appropriate treatment. ASD affects multiple biochemical processes in the body, described as the “vicious cycles”. The biomedical approach concentrates on breaking these vicious cycles through a comprehensive investigation into the sources of the problem, followed by treatment of the causes of the dysfunction. Dr. Montico provides a preview of what parents should expect from a biomedical evaluation including: initial evaluation, laboratory workup, treatment options, and comprehensive treatment plans.
