With the alarming increase in autism diagnoses, ARI encourages medical professionals to learn about treatments, and to offer them to patients. Autistic children and their families need medical and professional help, and ARI recommends the Defeat Autism Now! approach as foundational treatment.
Information presented in our professional seminars is pertinent for MDs, DOs, Naturopathic Physicians, Nurse Practitioners, and Physician's Assistants. RNs, psychologists, homeopaths, chiropractors, dentists, and pharmacists will likely find the seminar information useful and they are welcome to attend, though they are not eligible for our Clinician registry.
Nutritionists and Dietitians may attend the Nutrition Seminar and be listed on ARI's Nutritionist Registry as long as they are licensed or monitored by a supervisory board at the state or national level and possess at least one of the following degrees: Certified Nutrition Counselor, Dietetic Technician, Registred, Certified Nutritionist, Certified Clinical Nutritionist, Registered Dietician or Licensed Dietician, or a certified nutrition specialist (through the American College of Nutrition). In 2010, this seminar will be offered at our Spring and Fall National Conferences.

ARI does not give practitioner referrals, maintaining a registry instead. Clinicians sign the ARI/Defeat Autism Now! philosophy statement, and pay a yearly fee ($250, to cover the costs of update letters, list maintenance, a subscription to the ARRI newsletter, and clinician-related special projects).To remain on the list, they are required to attend a professional seminar once every two years; Level I is a prerequisite for Level II. All of our professional seminars are approved for AMA-PRA Category 1 CreditsTM; the Nutrition Seminar has also been approved for continuing-education credit by the American Dietetic Association, the National Association of Nutrition Professionals, and the American College of Nutrition.
Attendance at an Introductory Workshop, general, or regional ARI/Defeat Autism Now! conference is not relevant for the Clinician Registry. Only the completion of the entire Nutrition Seminar or Clinician Seminars Levels I and II qualify an attendee for listing.
