    At Autism Angels Network, we believe that  
    every child should be treated based on their
    individual needs. We do not recommend
    one set protocol over another, because
    what is optimal for one child may not be for
    another. We do, however, strongly believe
    in choosing the most natural and non-
    invasive treatments available, and
    addressing the child as a whole, and not
    based on a diagnosis.
    "Never doubt that a small
    group of committed
    people can change the
    world. Indeed it is the
    only thing that ever has."

    ~ Margaret Mead

    The cost of current popular medical treatments for autism can carry an
    astronomical price tag, making treatment next to impossible for most
    families, without going into tremendous debt. I have read stories of
    families paying up to $5,000 a month out of pocket for their child's care.
       
    I was fortunate enough to find a licensed acupuncturist and Chinese
    Herbalist in my area who was not only willing to treat Jake, but who has
    provided a customized and simple treatment plan that has been very
    affordable. Because of our personal success following this path, I felt
    compelled to help others find the same type of practitioners to treat their
    children, regardless of where they live.

    This is why Autism Angels Network is committed to serving as a facilitator
    between our clients and qualified, competent, practitioners who are
    sympathetic to the extreme cost of treatment for autism, and who share
    our belief of individualized, natural health care.

    All practitioners working with Autism Angels Network have gone         
    through an approval process, to ensure that they follow the basic
    principals that were the inspiration for Autism Angels Network. As we are
    always looking to expand, if you have a practitioner to recommend, please
    let us know. We will contact them about becoming a part of our
    network.          

    It is our aspiration to help you connect with alternative medicine
    practitioners, and to provide financial assistance when necessary. Our
    goal is to help devise a plan that takes things one step at a time, which will
    provide a smoother transition for you and your child. It will help ensure
    that you do not become overwhelmed, and that your child will not be
    overloaded physically or mentally. We want your child to be comfortable,
    and for them to make consistent progress over time, without experiencing
    any unnecessary stress or regressions.

    If you believe that your child may benefit from our services, please send us
    an email through our contact page. We will schedule a phone
    appointment, where we will consult with you regarding your child's
    needs, and which approach we believe would be best suited for your
    particular situation.
