The Rimland Center: Advocates for Children with Autism
This week on the Sunday Morning Wake-Up Call, Dr. Elizabeth Mumper joins host Rick Moore to talk about Autism in children. Dr. Mumper just opened the Rimland Center in Lynchburg which serves children on the Autistic spectrum and with other behavior/developmental disorders. She goes over some of the problems Autistic children face - such as digestive problems, sleep disorders, and hypersensitivity to touch and sound - and how parents can try to cope with them.
Callers chimed in with their own questions and comments about Autism in general and treatment for the disorder. How do different types of food affect children with Autism? And what about medications? Behavioral Therapy? Find out what a professional thinks about all this and more, only on WNRN’s Wake-Up Call.
