The entire goal of the clinic is to bring vitamin D levels up to the high normal range.” The clinic consists of free autism rating scales for parents and teachers, free vitamin D blood tests (up to $65.00 per test), free visits or phone calls with Dr. John Cannell, and, if needed, free vitamin D supplements. For more information, email the Vitamin D Council’s Development Director Brant Cebulla at bcebulla@vitamindcouncil.org The Council asks that, before emailing, you read the following five articles addressing the scope of work on vitamin D and autism: - Glazer, G: What If Vitamin D Deficiency Is a Cause of Autism? Scientific American, April 24, 2009 - Deans, E: Autism and Vitamin D. Psychology Today, April 25, 2011 - Goepp, J: The Link Between Autism and Low Levels of Vitamin D.
