Biomedical Testing and Treatments

    Children with developmental disorders are unique individuals with complex
    disorders.  They often have underlying health issues that contribute to their
    disorder, and  compound the effects of their disorder, or are wholly responsible for
    their developmental disorder.

    Diagnostic testing is conducted on all children before therapeutic treatments are
    recommended. A unique therapeutic regimen is tailored to each child’s individual
    history, physical and laboratory profile.

    Testing:

    Following a thorough history, physical and neurological exam, we discuss the need
    for further testing, including, but not limited to the following:

  •  Assessments of genes and markers of neurological disorders
  •  Allergy testing, including sensitivities to gluten, casein and other
                    allergens
  •  Assessments for heavy metal accumulation and the metabolic effects of
                    environmental toxicity
  •  Amino acid testing
  •  Metabolic testing
  •  Mutation Analysis
  •  Assessments of immune competency or dysfunction
  •  Neurophysiologic tests when appropriate

    Treatments:

    Once initial testing is completed, Dr. Harum will discuss possible courses of
    treatment tailored to the specific needs of your child, incorporating integrative
    medicine approaches when appropriate.
