Parents of children on the spectrum or with developmental delays
Come get natural treatment
To realize your child's developmental potential
The "Growing Forward" process is a science-based naturopathic treatment process.
The moment of diagnosis is overwhelming.
At times, it brings anger.
At times, frustration.
At times, deep sadness and despair.
Your child may have been diagnosed with autism or developmental delay — or perhaps you, as parents, have noticed that they are not developing like their peers. There may be a delay in speech development or challenges related to communication.
I know that the moment of realization is incredibly difficult.
We all dream of a perfect child — a child who thrives and is happy.
Knowing that your child is likely to face a harder path — one with an unclear outcome — is not easy for any parent.
In addition, your child may also be experiencing various health issues, such as digestive symptoms, sleep difficulties, hypersensitivity, or an unbalanced diet.
It’s important to understand: these challenges are not inherently part of the diagnosis — and they can and should be addressed.
Dear parents, if you believed that occupational therapy and speech therapy were the only options for children diagnosed with autism or developmental delays — you should know there is a natural, science-based approach that may lead to a profound transformation in your child’s development.
Conventional medicine has no real solution for autism and developmental delay
You may have seen a neurologist or a psychiatrist.
Perhaps you even consulted with several doctors to get additional opinions.
But they all gave you the impression that the options are limited:
Speech therapy, occupational therapy, and complementary treatments like therapeutic horseback riding, swimming, art, or music therapy.
These therapies are excellent, but they don’t address what’s happening physiologically inside the body — what lies beneath the surface.
In some cases, medications may also have been recommended — for attention, focus, or calming.
It’s important to understand: these medications don’t truly heal —
and sometimes they come with side effects and withdrawal difficulties.
What haven’t you been told?
They haven’t told you that even if there's a genetic component — in most cases, genetics isn’t the whole story.
They haven’t told you that there’s much more that can be done.
Let me share with you a method developed by leading physicians in the U.S.
It’s called Functional Medicine or Biomedical Intervention.
Through advanced testing — not yet offered in the public health system —
we can gain deep insights into the underlying causes and design a personalized, natural treatment plan.
A plan that improves physiological function — and supports better brain and body performance.
Out of this approach, I developed the "Mitkadmim" ("Advancing") Process,
which has already helped dozens of children.
Last year, I was honored to present my work at the International Naturopathy Congress in Paris.
Through the Mitkadmim method, I help children reach their optimal health,
so they can unlock their full developmental potential.
Science-based natural treatment
Senior Naturopath
Has extensive training and extensive experience
My name is Netta Pelleg-Gerad, and through my personal journey, I chose to specialize in natural treatment for autism and developmental delays.
I completed advanced training with an American physician specializing in autism through functional medicine, and from that knowledge I developed the "Growing Forward" ("Advancing") Process — designed to help children realize their developmental potential by improving their physiological, emotional, and physical well-being.
I am a senior naturopath with a bachelor’s degree in Behavioral Sciences and a master’s degree in Business Administration, both from Ben-Gurion University.
According to parent reports, 86% of children who completed the Growing Forward process improved in areas such as:
language, communication, emotional regulation, sleep, digestive health, and nutrition —
with over 70% showing significant improvement.
The analysis is based on patients who have completed at least 3 months of treatment and according to parental reports.

Every passing day is critical for development:

This is how you improve the opportunity
"The child's ability to progress and develop"
What does the "Growing Forward" process include?
The treatment process includes six treatment and counseling sessions.
First meeting: Questioning and diagnosis
Reviewing the patient's medical and emotional history and recommending tests for further evaluation.
Second meeting: Building an initial plan
After assessing the patient's condition, an initial plan is developed that includes comprehensive lifestyle guidelines, recommendations for precise nutritional supplements, and daily planning.
Third meeting: Updating and refining the plan
After receiving the results of the functional tests, the personal plan is updated based on a comprehensive analysis and cross-checking of all the data collected so far. The test results and the updated plan are presented at this meeting.
Fourth meeting: Nutrition
Reviewing the patient's eating habits and providing recommendations for improving their diet based on the test results.
Fifth meeting: Treatment follow-up
Continue to refine the plan based on progress and challenges along the way.
Sixth meeting: Treatment follow-up
Therapeutic monitoring and providing additional recommendations for continued progress.
