Takeaways The prevalence of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism and ADHD has been skyrocketing in recent years. Addressing the underlying causes of these disorders, which involve a combination of genetic and environmental factors, is crucial for effective treatment. The sequence of healing involves restoring the nervous system, addressing the gut and microbiome, and layering on additional healing modalities. Regular chiropractic adjustments, scans to track progress, and milestones to indicate improvements are important components of a comprehensive care plan. Parents should set big goals for their child's recovery and find a practitioner who understands the importance of the sequence of healing.  Excessive screen time, particularly with iPads, can lead to sympathetic nervous system dominance and hinder proper neurodevelopment in children. Parasympathetic activation, creative play, and investigation are essential for optimal neurodevelopment. Parents should take care of their own nervous systems and seek chiropractic care for themselves and their children. The Experiencxe Miracles podcast provides valuable resources and support for parents seeking solutions for their children's health challenges.
