Sandra
Desorgher Sandra was born in the
USA in 1957. She grew up in a family who dedicated themselves to
looking after behaviorally challenged, emotionally disturbed and
special needs foster children in their own home. From the age of 12,
Sandra studied medical dictionaries and medical journals compulsively
in the various hospitals where she worked as a volunteer and later as a
special diets cook and medical secretary. From this self-study and
dedication, she developed a unique approach to therapeutic nutrition
which still forms the basis of her multi-facetted work.
Sandra has a doctorate in psychology and two masters degrees in Psychology (teaching family model), and Food Science and Nutrition. 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. Co-author of The Power of Exile: Autism, a journey to recovery |
Max Desorgher Executive Director, World Community Autism Program Max studied healing
and alternative therapies at Le Plan School of Healing, Bandol, France
and has worked with special needs
children for many years. He met Sandra in 1997 and they were
married in 1998. Max specializes in counselling, healing and teaching for people
with Autism Spectrum diagnoses and related conditions. He co-wrote 'The Power of Exile: Autism, a
journey to recovery ' and is preparing a new book for publication
which will look at the crisis facing society, policy makers,
educationalists and social planners brought about by an enormous surge
in autism diagnosis in the last ten years. It puts forward positive
solutions including nutritional, behavioral, environmental and social
policy solutions and includes detailed information on Sara's Diet and
the Desorgher Method.
