Children with autism and other neurodevelopmental disabilities often experience challenges that extend beyond their diagnosis, including digestive problems, disrupted sleep, food sensitivities, sensory and motor difficulties, and behavioral dysregulation. In this presentation, Dr. Lawrence Palevsky shares his clinical approach to understanding these interconnected concerns and identifying factors that may be affecting a child’s health and development.
Central to Dr. Palevsky’s approach is a focus on inflammation and nervous system dysregulation. He discusses how a child’s symptoms, daily routines, diet, sleep, and environment can offer clues to underlying contributors. Topics include gut health, food allergies and sensitivities, processed foods and additives, environmental exposures, mold, infections, oral health, and family emotional stress.
Dr. Palevsky emphasizes beginning with the foundations: recognizing patterns, examining everyday influences, and reducing or modifying factors he identifies as contributing to inflammation and dysregulation. He also presents his perspective on the body’s elimination and recovery processes, the role of acute illness, and the importance of addressing longstanding contributors to poor health.
Designed for parents and caregivers, this presentation encourages a broader understanding of children’s symptoms and offers a framework for working with clinicians to address the whole child. Attendees will gain insight into Dr. Palevsky’s clinical observations and the foundational changes he prioritizes to support children’s health, regulation, and development.
