A Common Sense / Evidence Based Model for Autism Recovery: Biomarkers, Genetics, Neurological Testing and Treatment
Understanding and deciphering the complex concepts of genetics, biochemistry, infectious agents, diagnostics and biomedical intervention involved in treating a child with autism can be overwhelming to any parent.
This program will provide an up-to-date and complete overview of the following:
*Neurological and biomedical abnormalities
*Appropriate diagnostics and biomarkers to decide on the right treatment for your child
*Interventions that are clinically relevant in treating a child with autism
This lecture will provide a common sense, executable and evidence based treatment developed from my experience of treating thousands of spectrum based children over the past decade. This overview will review, in detail, the processes of initiation, genetics, biomarkers, therapeutics and prevention in an easy to understand format.
Kendal L. Stewart, MD, University of Texas at Austin, TX Bachelor of Arts / Biology
Kendal Stewart, M.D. / Neurotologist
Kendal Stewart, a nationally renowned expert in Neuro-Immune Syndromes, is Board Certified in Otolaryngology / Head and Neck Surgery and received fellowship training in Otology/Neurotology - Skull Base Surgery. His medical focus is on providing diagnostic testing and protocols for altering or reversing the progression of these syndromes through modern medicine and genetically targeted nutrition.
His background includes extensive training in neurological, neurosurgical and sensory related areas. He has extensive clinical experience with treating thousands of children on the spectrum. He has been practicing in the Austin area since 1994.
Dr. Stewart’s research issues are specifically related to the objective diagnosis and treatment of nervous system and immune system function and processing/sensory integration disorders. He has held an associate professor position at the University of Texas Medical School at San Antonio. Dr. Stewart has authored many publications on spectrum disorders, vestibular and balance related issues and has been granted two medical related patents regarding diagnosis and treatment methodologies.
Currently, his practice involves the medical treatment of neuro-immune disorders that include autism, vertigo, imbalance, dizziness, migraines, chronic headaches, hearing loss, speech delay, neuro-sensory developmental delay, clumsiness, seizures, tics, Tourette’s, PANDAS, cognitive disorders, neuropathies, neuralgias, and complicated immunological disorders.
Dr. Stewart received his BA from the University of Texas at Austin and attended the University of Texas Medical School at Houston. After five years of residency training at the University of Texas Medical School at Houston, affiliated hospitals and MD Anderson Cancer Center, he completed a fellowship in Otology/Neurotology - Skull Base Surgery at Baylor University Center in Dallas, TX.
