Dr. Sandra Desorgher, (Psy.D., M.A., M.Sc., B.Sc.)

Nutritionist, Psychologist, Author

Sandra has a doctorate in psychology and two masters degrees in Psychology (teaching family model), and Food Science and Nutrition. She has been giving nutritional consultations all her life, and has specialized in autism since 1994. She trained with 'Bringing It All Back Home' Professional Parenting http://www.biabh.org/. In 1991, Sandra adopted Sarah, a blind, epileptic, disturbed and abused autistic girl of 5 years old. Using a unique blend of dietary, behavioral and educational stretegies, Sarah made enormous gains. Then, in 1994, Sandra made a revolutionary discovery - lutein intolerance as a causative factor in autism. Since that time, she has travelled the world, sharing her vision of healing and recovery with families with autistic children, as well as medical professionals and experts in the field of autism.

She has produced individualized nutritional plans for thousands of autists around the world, taking into account the cultural and medical needs, the medical history of the child, physical signs and symptoms, behavioral presentation, family medical history to assess inherited problems, diet, supplements and medications used, the child's response to food and feeding, testing for food allergies and sensitivities and other testing as available.
