Parents of children on the spectrum or with developmental delays
Unlock your child's developmental potential
with personalized natural treatment
The "Growing Forward" process is a science-based naturopathic treatment program
The moment of revelation is shocking,
Sometimes it's annoying,
Sometimes frustrating,
Sometimes sad and depressing
Your child may have been diagnosed with autism or developmental delay — or perhaps you, the parents, have simply noticed that they aren’t progressing like other children their age. There may be a delay in speech or challenges related to communication.
I know how hard that moment of realization can be.
We all dream of a perfect child — a child who thrives, who is happy and successful.
Facing the fact that your child may walk a more complex and uncertain path than others is incredibly difficult.
On top of that, your child may also be struggling with health issues such as digestive symptoms, sleep difficulties, heightened sensitivity, or an unbalanced diet. It’s important to know: these issues aren’t necessarily “part of the diagnosis” — and they can and should be treated.
Dear parents, if you’ve been led to believe that occupational therapy and speech therapy are the only options for children diagnosed with autism or developmental delay — it’s time to discover a science-based natural approach that may create a profound shift in your child’s development.
Conventional medicine has no real solution for autism and developmental delay
Here is a translated and refined version:
You may have already consulted with a neurologist or psychiatrist.
Perhaps you even sought several opinions from different doctors—
but all of them left you with the impression that treatment options are limited.
They likely referred you to speech therapy, occupational therapy, or complementary approaches like therapeutic horseback riding, hydrotherapy, art therapy, or music therapy.
These therapies can be wonderful—but they don’t address the underlying physiological issues happening inside the body, beneath the surface.
In some cases, you may have also been offered medication—perhaps something to help with focus or to reduce anxiety.
It’s important to understand:
These medications do not actually heal the root cause.
Worse still, many children experience unwanted side effects or difficulties when trying to wean off them.
What weren’t you told?
You weren’t told that even when a genetic factor exists, genetics is rarely the whole story.
You weren’t told that there’s so much more that can be done.
I want to share with you an approach developed by physicians in the U.S.,
called Functional Medicine or Biomedical Treatment.
Using advanced diagnostic tests (which are not yet available through public healthcare),
we can uncover critical information about the root causes behind your child’s condition—
and create a personalized, natural treatment plan
that improves physiological balance, cognitive functioning, and overall health.
From this approach, I developed the "Growing Forward" process
A focused, science-based naturopathic protocol through which I’ve already helped dozens of children progress significantly.
I'm proud to share that I was invited to present this process
at the International Naturopathic Congress in Paris last year.
In the "Growing Forward" process, I help children reach their optimal state of health—
so they can fulfill their true developmental potential.
Science-based natural treatment
Senior naturopath
Has extensive training and extensive experience
My name is Netta Pelleg-Gerad, and my personal journey led me to specialize in natural treatment for autism and developmental delays.
I completed advanced training with an American physician specializing in autism through the functional medicine approach. From that, I developed the “Growing Forward” process—a program designed to help children reach their full developmental potential by improving their physiological, emotional, and physical well-being.
I’m a senior naturopath with a B.A. in Behavioral Sciences and an M.B.A., both from Ben-Gurion University.
According to parent reports, 86% of children who participated in the Growing Forward process showed improvement in areas such as:
• Language
• Communication
• Emotional well-being
• Sleep
• Digestive health
• Nutrition
Over 70% experienced significant improvement.
The analysis is based on patients who have completed at least 3 months of treatment and according to parental reports.

What does the "״Growing Forward ״process include?
The treatment process includes six counseling sessions
Initial Consultation: Comprehensive Assessment & Intake
A deep dive into the patient’s medical and emotional history, followed by recommendations for any further diagnostic testing to complete the assessment.
Session 2: Initial Treatment Plan
Based on the assessment, a personalized initial protocol is created. This includes tailored lifestyle guidance, precise supplement recommendations, and a structured daily plan.
Session 3: Plan Refinement & Lab Review
Once results from functional tests arrive, the treatment plan is updated based on a thorough analysis and cross-referencing of all data collected. Test results and an optimized protocol are reviewed in detail.
Session 4: Nutrition Session
An in-depth review of the patient’s eating habits, along with nutrition upgrades tailored to their lab results and therapeutic goals.
Session 5: Treatment Progress Review
Refinement of the treatment plan according to the patient’s progress, challenges, and evolving needs.
Session 6: Ongoing Support & Next Steps
A follow-up session to evaluate continued progress and provide advanced recommendations to support long-term improvement and stability.
