Peta Cohen: Systemic and Metabolic Vicious Cycles: A Biomedical Approach to Identifying and Treating

Peta Cohen, M.S., R.D., a Clinical Nutritionist and Metabolic Specialist, is joining NAA – NY Metro for presentations in Westchester and Manhattan (at the Rebecca School) to discuss an important, complex, and often overlooked issue in people on the autism spectrum – problems in systemic and metabolic functions. Her presentation will review the underlying systems and metabolic problems familiar to many individuals on the autism spectrum. Not only will she will explain their dynamic relationships, she also will provide a framework for assessing and treating these problems.

Physicians often refer their most challenging cases to Peta when a traditional approach is unsuccessful.
