What is DAN!
The Autism Research Institute convened a group of about 30
carefully selected physicians and scientists in Dallas in January,
1995, for the express purpose of sharing information and ideas toward
defeating autism as quickly as possible. The participants, from the
U.S. and Europe, represent the most advanced thinking by some of the
best minds in the autism world. The participants continue to work
together toward the goal of finding effective treatments.
One major goal of the DAN!
Conference was to produce a document that could be used by physicians
everywhere as a guide for the clinical assessment of autistic patients,
leading to appropriate treatment. After a year of strenuous work the
document, representing a consensus statement of the state-of-the-art
alternative medical approach to the diagnosis and treatment of autism, is
now available. The 244-page manual is titled Biomedical Assessment Options
for Children with Autism and Related problems and costs $30.00 (U.S. Funds)
Parents and physicians who do not regard psychotropic drugs
as the best or only means of treating autistic patients will welcome
this advanced manual on clinical assessment.
If you would like to purchase the 244-page manual, see the

such as a list of doctors, future DAN! Conferences, and audiotapes.
