Frequently Asked Questions

What is the free Nutrition Screening Test?

The Nutrition Screening Test is a preliminary assessment to identify potential nutritional gaps, food sensitivities, or dietary factors that may be affecting your child’s behaviour, mood, sleep, or learning. It helps determine whether a full nutrition program would benefit your child. Ask us for a free screening to get started.

Who can benefit from Nutrition Program Therapy?

Children with autism, ADHD, developmental delays, feeding difficulties, fussy eating, nutritional deficiencies, or food sensitivities can benefit. If your child has a limited diet, poor sleep, mood swings, or difficulty focusing, nutrition therapy may help support their overall development alongside other therapies.

What is Nutrition Therapy?

Nutrition Therapy is a personalised care program that focuses on your child’s nutritional deficiencies and identifies toxins or sensitivities in their food that may contribute to developmental delays (e.g. Autism, ADHD). It is part of our integrated “Nutrition & Optimal Child Development Program” and works alongside ABA, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy.

How can it benefit my child?

Nutrition Therapy can encourage your child to eat a wider variety of foods without fuss, monitor symptoms linked to deficiencies and drive behavioural changes, and create lasting changes in eating habits. It also supports behaviour, mood, sleep, focus, and learning—helping unlock your child’s potential.

What is the minimum time required to notice improvements?

It typically takes 30–90 days to start noticing improvements. A minimum of 1 year is recommended to maintain these changes and establish lasting eating habits.

Is this a replacement for other therapies my child is taking?

No. Nutrition Program Therapy is a supportive therapy that works hand in hand with other therapies such as ABA, Occupational Therapy, and Speech Therapy. It complements them by addressing nutritional and dietary factors that can affect behaviour, mood, and learning.

How does nutrition affect behaviour and learning?

Nutritional deficiencies, food sensitivities, and certain additives can affect gut health, brain function, and mood—leading to irritability, poor focus, sleep issues, and behavioural challenges. By addressing diet and nutrients, we support the body’s ability to regulate, learn, and engage more effectively in other therapies.
