The Science of our approach

Our philosophy at Keystone Natural Health  is to TREAT THE CHILD NOT THE LABEL.

Are you ready to see your child thrive? Call (717) 697-0589 today and request your new patient paperwork.

We have a cutting-edge, comprehensive approach to ASD and ADHD. We also have a thorough understanding of the science and neurology behind ASD and ADHD, and that’s why we can make such a difference. Are you currently working with a practitioner? We would encourage you to ask them important questions like:

  • How is the brain affected in these conditions?
  • How do body based therapies change the course of of these conditions?
  • What is the difference between left brain or right brain therapies for ASD or ADHD?
  • What can I do at home to help my child progress further?

To beat ADHD or ASD, these are crucial questions to ask!

If you don’t get a satisfactory answer for these questions, you’re probably missing out on the big picture. Our therapies are evidence-based and rooted in neuroscience. We are constantly being updated with emerging science from the top researchers in the field of childhood developmental disorders. We encourage you to ask your provider for the science behind what they do.
