The National Autism Association NY Metro Chapter
In Collaboration With
Beth Israel Medical Center's Department of Developmental Pediatrics
would like to invite you to our special event

"Reducing the risk of Autism and other childhood chronic illnesses"
with Dr. Nancy O'Hara

on Thursday, March 10th 6:30-8:30pm
Beth Israel Medical Center
10 Union Square East
New York, NY 10003
2nd Floor Conference Center


Dr. Nancy O'Hara is going to walk us through some of the most important
steps you can take in order to reduce your child's risk of developing a
chronic illness such as Autism. So whether you are pregnant, would like to
become pregnant or have a young child, there are many things you can do to
lower the chances.



Autism is one illness that is on many parents mind these days, since the
rates seem to keep climbing. Dr. O'Hara is on the front lines everyday
trying to treat these children. Dr. O'Hara has a comprehensive list of
things that you should avoid, supplements you can take and simple changes
you can make in your diet in order to lower your risk. Many of us know
that it is much easier to try to prevent than treat an illness once you
already have it. Some of the steps you will hear about will be quite simple
such as replacing some of the foods you eat or the type of toothpaste you
use. Even if you can just start with a few changes, then you are well on
your way to reducing the chance of someone in your family from developing a
chronic illness.



Nancy O'Hara, M.D. is a board-certified pediatrician. Prior to her medical
career she taught children with autism. Dr. O'Hara graduated from the
University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine and earned a Master's degree
in Public Health from the University of Pittsburgh. She entered general
private practice in 1993, and in 1998 began her consultative, integrative
practice solely for children with special needs. She is a leader in the
training of clinicians, both in the US and abroad.
