Overview

Focusing on three common neurological disorders in children, epilepsy, ADHD and autism, this course explores the prevalence, diagnosis, etiologies, and integrative treatment for these pediatric disorders. The prevalence of ADHD and autism have skyrocketed over the past couple decades. As of 2022, it’s estimated that 7.1 million children in the US have been diagnosed with ADHD and data shows that from 2000-2022, autism has increased from 1 in 150 children (0.66%) to 1 in 31 children (3.2%). There is no biological explanation for such variation, indicating the very powerful effect of socioeconomic, political, educational, or other factors in the diagnosis and treatment of ADHD and Autism. Approximately 5% of children will experience a seizure during their childhood, a frightening event.

Needs Assessment

Families who are apprehensive about the side effects of medications for pediatric neurological disorders are turning to integrative medicine for options. Children with ADHD, autism and epilepsy can respond well to personalized care that emphasizes diet, nutrients, physical activity, sleep and mind body techniques in addition to environmental factors. Health professionals who treat these pediatric neurological disorders need to become familiar with the various integrative treatments which are available and to be able to counsel parents effectively concerning all evidence based treatments – both conventional and integrative.

Accreditatie
De volledige term van de AMA punten is AMA PRA Category 1 Credit™, dit is de meest algemeen geaccepteerde vorm van CME punten (Continual Medical Education) , oftewel nascholingspunten voor medisch professionals. Deze punten worden in de VS toegekend aan artsen, verpleegkundigen, apothekers en andere zorgverleners wanneer zij bij- en nascholingen volgen om hun kennis en vaardigheden up-to-date te houden. Afhankelijk van je eigen beroepsvereniging zijn deze punten om te zetten naar Nederlandse accreditatiepunten. Deze aanvraag kun jezelf bij je beroepsvereniging doen. Elke beroepsvereniging behandelt deze aanvraag op eigen wijze.
