Integrative Care Clinic provides a monthly Supportive Wellness Program that brings together resources from multiple disciplines to support children with complex medical, developmental, and behavioral needs. Group meets once a month and is open to families; however, if you are not an active patient of their practice and require prescriptions, you will need to work through your primary care provider. Mission Pediatrics also provides daily wellness support recommendations—including leucovorin (folinic acid), Vitamin D, multivitamins, probiotics/prebiotics, and omega-3 fatty acids—as well as optional sleep support strategies such as melatonin, magnesium, sound therapy, and aromatherapy.

MeRT, a form of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS), uses gentle, brain‑mapped magnetic pulses to target specific areas of the brain. Some families pursue MeRT‑TMS hoping to improve regulation, attention, or communication, but research in Autism—especially for individuals with significant needs—is still limited, and results vary widely. Treatment remains experimental, not included in standard Autism guidelines, and not covered by insurance. Families considering MeRT‑TMS should consult trusted medical professionals, review the potential risks and benefits, and ensure treatment takes place in a safe, clinically supervised setting.
