Autism Treatment at Well Rooted 
Personalized Approaches for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)

At Well Rooted, we specialize in a holistic, integrative approach to autism treatment that focuses on supporting children and adults with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Our team of skilled practitioners works collaboratively with families to design individualized treatment plans aimed at improving both the quality of life and overall well-being of individuals on the spectrum.

What is Autism Spectrum Disorder?

Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neurodevelopmental disorder that affects communication, behavior, and social interactions. It is referred to as a “spectrum” because the symptoms and severity can vary significantly from person to person. While the exact cause of autism is not fully understood, it is believed that a combination of genetic and environmental factors plays a role in its development.

Common symptoms of ASD may include:

  • Difficulty with verbal and non-verbal communication
  • Challenges in social interactions and forming relationships
  • Repetitive behaviors and routines
  • Sensory sensitivities
  • Difficulty with focus and attention

Holistic and Integrative Autism Treatment

At Well Rooted, we take a whole-body approach to treating autism, focusing on the underlying factors that may contribute to the development or worsening of ASD symptoms. Our treatments are customized to each individual, as we recognize that every child or adult with autism has unique needs.

Our approach involves assessing and addressing factors such as nutrition, gut health, immune system function, environmental toxins, and inflammation—areas that may have a significant impact on autism symptoms.

Our Autism Treatment Approach Includes:

  1. Comprehensive Testing and Assessment:
    • We conduct thorough assessments that may include blood work, nutrient testing, gut microbiome analysis, and toxic load screenings to uncover any underlying issues contributing to symptoms.
    • These tests allow us to develop a complete picture of your loved one’s health and identify imbalances or deficiencies that may be affecting behavior, cognition, and communication skills.
  2. Gut Health and Nutritional Support:
    • Many individuals with autism have digestive issues, food sensitivities, or imbalances in their gut microbiota. We may recommend dietary changes and supplements to improve gut function, which can have a significant impact on behavior and overall well-being.
    • We also focus on replenishing essential nutrients to support brain health, cognition, and mood regulation.
  3. Detoxification:
    • Environmental toxins, heavy metals, and other substances can have a negative impact on the body, and especially on the nervous system. Using safe, gentle detoxification techniques, we help support the body’s ability to eliminate toxins and reduce their impact on health and development.
  4. Immune System and Inflammation Regulation:
    • Chronic inflammation and immune system imbalances may play a role in the severity of ASD symptoms. Through natural supplements and targeted treatments, we work to modulate the immune system and reduce inflammation in the body, which can improve brain function, communication, and behavior.
  5. Behavioral and Cognitive Support:
    • Our team works closely with behavioral specialists and occupational therapists to incorporate targeted therapies that enhance communication, social skills, and motor skills.
    • We may also explore alternative therapies such as neurofeedback, sensory integration therapy, and social skills training.
  6. Family Education and Support:
    • We provide ongoing education and support for families, ensuring that caregivers have the tools and resources to create a positive and nurturing environment. We work with families to implement strategies at home that support your loved one’s health and development.

I recently moved here from out of state and have been having a very hard time finding providers in the area for my kids. After a long search, I found Well Rooted and am so happy I did. Excellent providers who truly care, who listen to the parents and child and are very knowledgeable. It is worth the drive and the cost.

We don’t go to the Crystal Lake Well Rooted anymore since we moved going over to OakBrook. We saw Victoria was absolutely fantastic. She saw my son for the first 9 months of his life, and she not only provided phenomenal care for him, but also for myself as a newly postpartum mom. They are very respectful of your decisions as a parent at Well Rooted, and it’s nice to not feel like you’re being gaslit by medical professionals. I like how they have holistic remedies available for purchase as well. They also provided me references to lactation consultants, chiropractors, etc as well. My son is now almost 2 and thankfully very healthy. We love Well Rooted!

Jessica is the absolute BEST! We brought our newborn daughter to Well-Rooted days after she was born for her first appointment with Jessica and she took excellent care of her/us. Extremely informative and made us feel very comfortable with any questions we had. We are very confident in our choice with Well-Rooted and are going to continue to see Jessica as long as we live in the area. Highly recommended!

I drive an hour just to come to this office. Been coming since my daughter was 3, now she’s 5. It’s clean, professional, quick, friendly, reasonably priced and Jessica is a TOTAL PRO who is the main reason for our visits. Can’t recommend her and Well Rooted enough!

We love this office! Jessica was the first practitioner to tell me about sublingual therapy allergy drops for environmental allergies. I had 3 out of 4 of my kids suffer from extreme eczema. Daily itching, bleeding, open wounds. Other doctors and allergist just told me to keep putting lotion on because it was due to dry skin. Believe me when I say I lathered my kids multiple times a day and tried every natural product out there and it didn’t help! Steroid cream was the only thing that was able to calm it down but it would come right back once we stopped using it. Well, a year into the allergy drops and my kids have beautiful eczema free skin! No more tears, no more fear of swimming pools and fear of infections. All thanks to the wonderful providers at Well-Rooted Pediatrics!! They truly care and think outside the box to get to the root of the problem. I am forever grateful for them!
