Learn how the brain uses folate and why problems with folate transport can affect some children with autism. Recognize when testing for folate pathway or folate receptor issues may be helpful. Discuss practical treatment steps for folinic acid (Leucovorin), including dosing and titration. See how these concepts apply in a real-world case example. 📚 Session Overview This session explains what folinic acid (Leucovorin) is and how it supports brain function in children on the autism spectrum. You'll learn how folate works in the brain and what happens when the body has trouble transporting it—a problem known as cerebral folate deficiency. We'll review the science behind this condition, including how certain genes and antibodies can affect folate levels in the brain. Practical guidance will cover how treatment with folinic acid is started, how doses are gradually increased, and what to expect during therapy. Parents will leave with a clear understanding of the scientific basis for folinic acid therapy and how it may improve core symptoms associated with autism. 🚀 Drop Box Link: (Parent) https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/4v75lpcvftuqbqqtvcb32/Leucovorin-PPT_Parent-Webinar.pptx?rlkey=ybje88nr1lch67abljql6luv9&st=pgu63cou&dl=0 🚀Link to recording: (parent video) https://www.veed.io/view/886a06bf-29f9-4ca7-8c51-7566ffb1be06?source=Homepage&panel=download
