Testimonials

Milena Sideris is a Parents Advocate and Practitioner who specializes in Autism Spectrum Disorders. We have known each other for many years. She has been one of the instrumental people pointing me in the right direction to look for solutions for the treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorders.

Milena is basically a walking library on the topic. She knows pretty much everything that’s ever been said, proven or disproven that has to do with Autism. She knows the literature; she knows all the big heroes and their work in the field and all the fallen heroes as well. In the process she has developed her own supportive protocols, and educational therapies, based on her extensive knowledge, personal experience and expertise.

 She works with me in the function of the patient advocate... Ms. Sideris takes over and guide the families through the ups and downs of treatment and interventions for the next few years and this has been a fantastic cooperation between us and truly beneficial for the patients and their recovery. She is a living, breathing encyclopedia on every topic related to neurological disorders such as ASD and developmental delays in children.

 She is one of the most brilliant people I have ever met!

Milena Sideris has an innate, intuitive gift to penetrate beyond the normal insights of biological medicine and offer approaches that parents can instantly apply to the treatment of their children. Having recovered her own child from autism through her unique approaches, she offers a steady and skilled guiding hand when negotiating the maze of options available to parents.

Dear Milena, 

I was so inspired by your presentation last weekend, and was very impressed by the depth of your knowledge, and the practical approach you have developed. You are truly inspirational, having turned your own and your son's suffering into something so positive.  I feel it is vitally important that your knowledge is available to many people because I think that autism is going to increase at an alarming rate.  I also think so many people are now affected by allied conditions, and the medical profession has no clue as to what is really going on.

I know you are extremely busy, and perhaps you might like to think about whether you could take on a teaching role for us.

Milena Sideris is a dedicated, hard working, loving mother whose son had autism. She left no stone unturned on many continents to find answers to help her son’s illness. She knows many good doctors who have helped resolve her son’s problems and in the process she has put together a "How To” practical guide and program for parents, caregivers and therapists. She is painstakingly holding the hands of frustrated parents until they learn "The Method" for recovery.

She has been lecturing to groups of parents and people around the world and folks listen to her because she does have the answers. I personally cannot spend the time that she does with families and absolutely recommend all of my new ASD patients to her before beginning my work with them. Treating ASD requires a complete well rounded all inclusive programs and Milena is an absolute essential part of that team and successful conclusion of the treatments.

I unhesitatingly recommend her to any new family wishing to walk the rocky road of saving their children from this horrible problem


Warmly

I have known Milena Sideris for a few years and highly recommend her to anyone involved in Autism Spectrum Disorder( ASD). Milena's personal knowledge and understanding of ASD far surpasses anyone I have ever come in contact with. She has medical knowledge greater than most doctors, and the dedication and passion that only a mother with an inflicted child could possess.

I have worked with her personally over the past years, and she has served as my trainer and mentor in understanding ASD. As a result, my ability to offer aid to families in need has drastically improved. I have also witnessed firsthand the benefit that children receive from even just an hour of her time. She is strongly intuitive, quick to action, and not afraid to put in all of her effort to help a child in need. Further, she knows exactly what is needed to be truly effective for children with special needs, the skill to train prospective therapists and providers, and the in depth understanding to revamp and revitalize stagnant intervention programs.
I strongly urge you to take advantage of her talent and can assure you that you will be impressed and pleased with the subsequent results.

Dear Milena,

You are my life saver, you taught me so much, and you came into my life just on time that I was so desperate.

 I met Milena just on time; I was like “Oh! Thank God, help has arrived!” I was that desperate. Milena has helped me with a lot of things. She was interested not only in my child but with our entire family and life. I really did not receive that much from any other person or professional until then and I was not aware that autism effects the whole family. She taught me a lot from  homeopathy, detoxification, chelation, to how to build better immunity, through diets, allergy treatments, electromagnetic fields protection, getting rid of chronic infections, even how to settle the room of the child, how to put a child to sleep, how to teach my child to pay  attention and focus on a task, which of the educational and interventional  approaches are good for my daughter, how to remain calm and focused on treatments and lots of more,,,, that wont fit here if I attempt to write it all down. I really understood how wonderful she is when I met her and her totally recovered son.

 Thank you Milena!
