Organophosphates, Other Environmental Toxins, and Neurodevelopment Disorders

Presenter

Kurt Woeller, DO, FMAPS

Overview

Organophosphates are toxic compounds used in common herbicides. Unfortunately, they are problematic for many people, but particularly children, including those with special needs. Other chemical toxins can have adverse effects as well and everyone with an autism-spectrum disorder should be assessed for these toxins so steps can be made to eliminate or reduce their potential adverse influences. This lecture will focus on certain environmental chemicals and how they can adversely affect the special needs community.
