As far as reputation is concerned, not all digital marketing agencies are on the same level. As a matter of fact, if you don’t hire a reputable agency, you may not be able to achieve your desired results. Digital marketing is of paramount importance for your online presence. Therefore, we suggest that you look for a trustworthy agency to cover your needs. Read on to find out more.1. Great People Every reputable agency has a great team of professionals. They have experts in several fields, such as sales, analytics, social media, copywriting, pay-per-click, search Engine Optimization, programming, and web design, just to name a few.2. Good Communication Open communication is quite important for a healthy partnership. A good service provider always keeps in touch with their clients in order to discuss the details of work. Therefore, we suggest that you hire a provider that offers great communication.3. Flexibility The world of digital marketing has been changing with the passage of time. Therefore, we suggest that you partner with an agency that stays tuned to the latest trends. In other words, make sure that the service provider is familiar with the latest technology. This way the marketing agency will be able to protect and respond to the changes.4. Creativity Good digital marketing agencies always welcome fresh and original ideas. Therefore, you need to work with a partner that believes in setting trends, not just following the existing trends. In other words, the service provider must be innovative when it comes to social media campaigns, search Engine Optimisation, and web design.5. Ability to Execute Although it is the element of creativity that helps a service provider stand out, we cannot deny the importance of the ability of executing those ideas. Therefore, it is important that you ask the agency how much time they require to deliver on their promises.6. Problem-Solving Skills Without any doubt, problems may surface from time to time. But if the service provider is solution-oriented, handling these problems will be easier for them. In other words, they can quickly identify potential problems and find solutions.7.

Before you partner with an agency, make sure you consider testimonials and case studies to find out how they help their clients achieve success.9. Online Presence Make sure that the website of the digital marketing agency is regularly updated. The company has to have a good ranking in search results. After all, you cannot hire an agency for managing your Facebook page if their Facebook page does not exist.Long story short, we suggest that you look for these qualities when hiring the services of a good digital marketing agency for your business.

Nutrition and Your Autistic Child
It seems like common sense that a well nourished child is a happier child. Many parents have noticed moody or cranky behavior in their young children before meal time or after school when they arrive home hungry. For an Autistic child, however, who may not be able to accurately communicate his or her needs, this hunger may go unnoticed. Or they may not want to eat and may have many food aversions. For these reasons, integrating nutrition therapy into treatment for children with autism is critical.In many cases, nutrition is not an integral part of overall therapy at diagnosis. Yet many parents who eventually seek out this information on their own, are getting nutrition information from questionable sources. Some parents may not take nutrition therapy into consideration at all.Autism is complex and involves a spectrum of challenging behaviors, so it is natural for both parents and caregivers to initially focus directly on controlling those behaviors. In many cases, the health care team includes a physician, occupational therapist, speech therapist and behavior therapist; but does not include a registered dietitian to provide nutrition therapy. What is interesting is that almost all autistic children have nutritional deficiencies, food intolerance, or gastrointestinal disorders that often are not thoroughly addressed. While studies involving the significance of the effect nutrition status has in the management of autism are preliminary, there is good reason to consider filling this gap in treatment.The goal of nutrition therapy in autism is to support the structure and function of the child’s brain and body to perform at their optimal level and to maximize the child’s brain function so that the response to other treatment is enhanced. Proper nutrition therapy should include a comprehensive nutrition assessment and also address feeding problems, any gastrointestinal problems, or need for vitamin and mineral supplementation.Imagine a child who has difficulty communicating his or her needs, feeling uncomfortable every time he eats due to unknown food sensitivities or intolerance. This sends a negative message to avoid those foods or avoid eating all together. Children with food allergies are at higher risk for nutrition-related problems and decreased growth, but children with autism are more negatively affected due to their problems with sensory integration dysfunction.Allergy symptoms may include hives, coughing, eczema, nausea, diarrhea, constipation, gastrointestinal reflux, watery eyes, nasal congestion or sneezing. To determine which foods are problematic, an “Elimination/Challenge Diet” is applied. Once problem foods are removed from the diet, the discomfort is resolved, and the child becomes more open to mealtime. A well-nourished child is a better-behaved child. In many cases, children who undergo nutrition assessment and treatment, have a formed bowel movement for the first time in his or her life. Imagine how eliminating this discomfort helps a child!Many autistic children may also have a subclinical nutrition deficiency. This is a deficiency of a particular vitamin, mineral, or essential fatty acid that is not severe enough to produce a classic deficiency symptom, but rather has more global, subtle effects that result in loss of optimal health and impairment of body processes. These subclinical deficiencies can cause irritability, poor concentration, depression, anxiety, sleep disturbances or loss of appetite. While it is best to determine which vitamin or mineral the child may be deficient in, minimally a standard multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is recommended. Look for supplements that have the USP label on them, and those that are free of colors, allergens or artificial flavors to eliminate any possible food intolerance issues. Using liquid forms that can be mixed into favorite foods (such as applesauce, yogurt, juices, or sherbet) is one strategy for children who have difficulty chewing or swallowing vitamins. Asking a pharmacist to compound a multivitamin and mineral supplement that is age appropriate is another option.In addition to the multivitamin/mineral, omego-3 fatty acids have been shown to be helpful as well. Numerous studies indicate that Omega-3 fatty acids are deficient in those who have ADHD, Dyslexia and Dyspraxia. Abnormalities in fatty acid metabolism may account for many features common in these conditions. There is some preliminary evidence that it is also deficient in children with autism. For children ages seven and older, 650 milligrams per day of an Omega-3 that provides both EPA and DHA is recommended. For children four to six years of age, 540 milligrams per day is recommended, and for children aged one to three, 390 milligrams per day is needed.Much more research is needed in the area of nutrition and autism, but clearly nutrition is a key piece of the treatment puzzle that is often missing. Speak with your health care team about a thorough nutrition assessment for your autistic child.
