At Integrative Pediatrics of Ohio, LLC we focus on our niche of expertise based on 10 years of general pediatrics practice and 7 years of treating special needs children (Autism Spectrum Disorders, ADHD, Behavior Disorder, Bipolar Disease, and Mood Disorders) with nutrient-based medical therapies. Our philosophy of patient service is to piece together needed modalities provided within our practice and to collaborate with other providers for care outside our area of expertise. Often medical care focuses on the mind and body, we also recognize that our spiritual nature is fundamental in healing. We invite this fundamental element in daily living and practice in an inclusive, self-directed environment of healing.

We have five main directorates at Bittersweet: Residential; Vocational; Supported Living and Respite; Advocacy and Supported Employment.

The habilitation program at these facilities happens in the morning and in the evening after completing their work. The residential schedules are full of exercise, academic programs and community outings. Habilitation goals of daily
living and skills of adaptive living such as laundry, personal hygiene, meal preparation, and structured social interaction play a large part in the success of our residential program. Our facility has five supported living homes. The participants come to our main campus for day programming and then go back to homes in the community that they share with other participants. Habilitation and skills development continue through all residential programs just as though they were living in our main campus housing.
