We work collaboratively to develop new, Canadian research projects that will answer these questions and inform future policy and clinical practice. And we identify and disseminate the best available information on autism with an emphasis on how this knowledge can be turned into practice.

Feingold Program/Diet
The Feingold Program (also known as the Feingold Diet) is a test to determine if certain foods or food additives are triggering particular symptoms. It is basically the way people used to eat before "hyperactivity" became a household word, and before asthma and chronic ear infections became so very common. Used originally as a diet for allergies, improvement in behavior and attention was first noticed as a "side effect."
