This groundbreaking treatment centre in Pennsylvania is providing much needed hope for children with conditions such as autism, epilepsy, learning difficulties and ADD. What makes this centre unique is the focus is on recovery, rather than attempts to simply manage and control symptoms.
Any parent whose child has been diagnosed with an illness which affects their development knows the harrowing journey of getting an accurate diagnosis and then finding treatment options which actually provide hope. All too often, the only solution offered is medication after medication in order to suppress and manage the symptoms with no mention of treating the root cause of the problem.
Parents who have been lucky enough to find The Family Hope Centre very quickly notice the different approach from the staff there. One of the first things they are told is not to focus on their child’s illness but to concentrate on working towards making them better, using the child’s natural abilities rather than emphasising their disabilities.
The centre offers an integrated therapy, which combines their knowledge and expertise in a wide variety of fields – from brain development to nutrition, neurofeedback to homeopathy. Each and every child is given an individualised treatment plan that is tailor-made to suit them with the belief that recovery can be achieved.
Parents Report Incredible Progress
Numerous parents whose children have received treatment from the centre report incredible progress within just a few months. Many of these children were given no hope for improvement or recovery from conventional doctors and paediatricians. However in just a short period of time these children with autism have gone from not talking, communicating or showing any affection to incredible changes that include the ability to read, do simple mathematics or tell their parents, “I love you.” Having spent months or even years in their own world, distancing themselves from their loved ones, parents report that through treatment their children “return,” “come back” and “once again miraculously join the family.”
These dramatic changes are all thanks to the ethos at the treatment centre that recovery and improvement is possible. Hope is not a negative emotion… it’s something positive and what every parent needs to hold onto. All too often conventional medicine teaches us that hope is unrealistic and counterproductive. However the experts at this autism treatment centre believe that recovery from autism is possible and that hope should coexist alongside being realistic.
Parents are actively encouraged to take a role in their child’s treatment and are given the techniques and exercises so that they can help their children develop in their own home. For any parent who’s been pushed around from neurologist to psychiatrist to paediatrician with no hope for improvement, simply knowing that autism recovery is a possibility is the news they’ve been waiting to hear. Whilst the Family Hope Centre cannot guarantee to bring about complete recovery, what they do expect is some change to happen. They offer continuing care and support for families who often feel a tremendous amount of fear and uncertainty about their child’s future and give them something they perhaps haven’t felt for a long time… hope.
