Expert NYC Registered Dietitian Nutritionists help identify nutritional risks and develop strategies to guide your child to eat well and live well with ASD.
It is estimated that ASD affects an average of 1 in 54 children in the United States. It is a complex developmental and neurological condition. Children with ASD may experience repeat behaviors and restricted interests which can spill over into how they experience food. This can lead to nutritional deficiencies, weight gain, weight loss, and constipation, among other nutrition problems, adding another layer of complication to an already complex disorder.
Your personal registered dietitian and nutrition consultant will analyze your child’s nutritional deficiencies and excesses, dietary patterns, medical history and medications so they can begin to introduce new foods into their diet, break unhealthy dietary habits, and help your child establish habits to live a healthier, more vital life. We can help patients and their families achieve a healthier, more balanced life.
