Seminar Curriculum (for a pdf version, click here)

*************************************

A three-day seminar for health practitioners addressing ways to support and help restore health in children with a post-vaccination autism spectrum disorder.  Seminar conducted by Dr. Andre Kulisz, PhD, ND(US), DNM(EU), ACN, accredited with the European Union and expert in neurotoxicity and chronic inflammatory conditions at the European Commission.  In 2008, he established World-Wide Naturopathic Health Service, almost exclusively involved in helping autistic children. 

This seminar offers a great opportunity for practitioners to expand to the field of abruptly growing need and is intended to equip practitioners with a stand-alone practice module to be either included in the existing practice or run independently.  The seminar provides all that is needed to start and run a successful practice, including patient assessment, treatment protocols, software tools, business instructions, recommended optional instrumentation and more.  Expect a busy program and be prepared to immerse yourself in the area that is considered not treatable by allopathic medicine and others that benefit from the “management” of autistic children. 

This is not a “regular” seminar.  It is a high-intensity, three-day training session meant to equip practitioners with tools to help children in need and, in the process, build a successful practice.  Post-seminar, 60-day free support provided.

Certificates of Completion issued by the World-Wide Naturopathic Health Service will be awarded ONLY to those participants that complete all three days of the seminar.  For more information and to register, send an email to info@enhcenter.com with “Seminar22” in the subject line.

Participation is limited to 40 practitioners only.  

The cost of the seminar is $2,680.00.  Hotel accommodations, meals, snacks, and seminar materials are included in the price.  One set of seminar materials per paid practitioner.   Seminar location: Dallas/Forth Worth area.  The suggested attire is business casual.

Positively no flip-flops, shorts or t-shirts. 

Seminar participants are required to bring laptop computers with Windows 10/11 and Microsoft office, Wi-Fi capable, and basic spreadsheet literacy.

Day 1

Introduction (30 min)

Definition of autism (per Autism Speaks)

1. 1. Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, is a range of conditions characterized by delayed development of social skills, repetitive behaviors, delayed of absent speech development and nonverbal communication. My experience is that autistic children have hidden talents that show up at the time of improved communication skills.

   2. There are many types of autism, caused by different combinations of genetic and environmental influences.

   3. The term “spectrum” reflects the wide variation in challenges and strengths possessed by each person with autism.

   4. Autism’s most-obvious signs tend to appear between 2 and 3 years of age. In some cases, it can be diagnosed as early as 18 months. 

Population:

1. 1. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimates autism’s prevalence as 1 in 68 children in the United States. This includes 1 in 42 boys and 1 in 189 girls.

   2. An estimated 50,000 teens with autism become adults – and lose school-based autism services – each year.

   3. Around one third of people with autism remain nonverbal.

   4. Around one third of people with autism have an intellectual disability.

   5. About 1 percent of the world population has autism spectrum disorder. (CDC, 2014)

   6. Adjunct health problems: certain physicall and mental health issues frequently accompany autism. They include gastrointestinal (GI) disorders, seizures, sleep disturbances, attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), anxiety and phobias, skin disorders, parasites and many others.

Market size:

1. 1. Prevalence in the United States is estimated at 1 in 36 births. (CDC, 2020)

   2. More than 3.5 million Americans live with an autism spectrum disorder. (Buescher et al., 2014)

   3. Prevalence of autism in U.S. children increased by 119.4 percent from 2000 (1 in 150) to 2010 (1 in 68) to 1 in 36 in 2020. 

   4. Autism is the fastest-growing developmental disability. (CDC, 2008)

   5. Prevalence has increased by 6-15 percent each year from 2002 to 2010. (Based on biennial numbers from the CDC)

   6. Autism services cost U.S. citizens $236-262 billion annually. (Buescher et al., 2014)

   7. A majority of costs in the U.S. are in adult services – $175-196 billion, compared to $61-66 billion for children. (Buescher et al., 2014)

   8. Cost of lifelong care can be reduced by 2/3 with early diagnosis and intervention. (Autism. 2007 Sep;11(5):453-63; The economic consequences of autistic spectrum disorder among children in a Swedish municipality. Järbrink K1.)

   9. 1 percent of the adult population of the United Kingdom has autism spectrum disorder. (Brugha T.S. et al., 2011)

   10. The U.S. cost of autism over the lifespan is about $2.4 million for a person with an intellectual disability, or $1.4 million for a person without intellectual disability. (Buescher et al., 2014)

   11. 35 percent of young adults (ages 19-23) with autism have not had a job or received additional education after leaving high school. (Shattuck et al., 2012)

   12. It costs more than $8,600 extra per year to educate a student with autism. (Lavelle et al., 2014) (The average cost of educating a student is about $12,000 – NCES, 2014)

   13. In June 2014, only 19.3 percent of people with disabilities in the U.S. were participating in the labor force – working or seeking work. Only 16.8 percent of the population with disabilities was employed. (By contrast, 69.3 percent of people without disabilities were in the labor force, and 65 percent of the population without disabilities was employed.) (Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2014)
