The benefits of dietary intervention have been proven and supported by researchers in the autism community. We've provided links below for convenience on education of the GF/CF diet.
For the benefit of the students Holland Center is a gluten and casein free facility. Many chilren with autism have been found to not have sufficient amounts of the DPPIV enzyme that breaks down the gluten and casein molecules.
Each child has lunch and snacks made specifically to the specification of the child's diet.
Our therapist are trained to understand the dietary interventions and help parents comply to the centers expectations. Our therapists also understand the need for vitamin and mineral supplementation in most of the children.
Therapists have also been trained to administer medications to the children who have daily medication needs.
