The Autism Recovery Summit is a non-profit, charity organization 501(c)3 started by two parents on a journey to heal their child from autism.

 

This Summit was developed to raise awareness, support research, and focus national attention on the growing evidence of a link between environmental toxins and neurological disorders such as autism, attention deficit disorder, language delay and learning difficulties.

 

Our mission is to educate and empower families and professionals that neurological disorders are not a lifelong incurable genetic disorder but one that is biomedically definable and treatable. We will raise public awareness of environmental toxins as causative factors in neurological damage that often results in autism or other related disorders. We will encourage those in the autism community to never give up in their search to assist their loved ones in reaching their full potential.

Tracy’s background is in Marketing & Event Planning with an Associates Degree in Business Administration and a BS in Psychology. When her son Noah was diagnosed with autism, doctors told her there was very little hope. She began to research treatment options via the Internet where she discovered that there is indeed a great deal of hope - autism is treatable. Since then, Noah is almost fully recovered.
