School Nutrition Dietitian

Special Diets and Autisim Spectrum Disorder


Listen Later

There are just a handful of dietitians specializing in Autism Spectrum Disorder across the country. Since her brother was diagnosed with ASD over two decades ago, Brittyn Coleman has been immersed in learning about the diagnosis. Her master’s thesis studied food aversions and nutrient intake in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Before starting her private practice, she worked in interdisciplinary clinics and centers for kids with a wide variety of developmental disabilities, but her heart always stayed with ASD. She felt led to begin her own telehealth practice to increase the reach of nutrition therapy and nutrition education for families and individuals affected by ASD.
