Welcome to Episode 45 of the Autism Parenting Secrets. 

This week, Cass and Len sat down with Dr. Lawrence Palevsky.  He cares deeply and has extensive experience supporting children with neurodevelopmental differences.  

Dr. Palevsky is a NYS licensed pediatrician, who utilizes a holistic approach to children’s wellness.  He’s a diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine, and Past–President of the American Holistic Medical Association. 

In his current pediatric practice, Dr. Palevsky offers well-child examinations, consultations and educational programs to families and practitioners in the areas of preventive and holistic health; childhood development; lifestyle changes; nutrition for adults, infants and children; and safe, alternative treatments for common and difficult to treat acute and chronic pediatric and adult conditions.

He’s a pediatrician who advocates for the empowerment of the parent.  He’s a courageous and caring thought leader and we’re so honored he’s with us today.

We cover several topics during this episode, but a recurring theme is the importance of HOW we interact with our kids.  It’s super useful to clear on our intent.

Tune in now to learn why this matters so much more than you think!
