Parents of Children with Autism Spectrum Disorder Have New Options When Administering Medications
PCCA Receives Autism Hope Alliance’s Autism Approved Program Seal for Best Practices
PCCA received the Autism Hope Alliance’s (AHA) Autism Approved program seal for best practices in meeting needs in the autism community.
The program highlights medical practices, materials and goods that meet strict criteria and are considered “autism-community friendly.”
Children affected by autism often have unique physical or psychological challenges that can be exacerbated by ingredients found in food and medicine – for instance casein, soy, sugars, gluten, dyes, carbohydrates, and heavy metals (such as aluminum). Parents must manage their child’s unique dietary restrictions, including the ingredients in the medications they take.
