Get answers to your nutrition questions from a nationally known nutrition expert.

Kelly Dorfman is a health program planner and nutritionist with twenty seven years of clinical experience. Her specialty is developing nutrition and lifestyle strategies to address complex health problems from autism to bone loss to rare genetic disorders. Physicians and other medical professionals refer cases to her for insight when traditional methods do not attain optimal results.

One of Kelly's special interests is children. Twelve years ago, she co-founded the non-profit organization, Developmental Delay Resources (DDR). The purpose of DDR is to educate parents, teachers and health professionals who deal with children facing attention, behavior and cognitive challenges. DDR helps people decide what to do after the diagnosis and while waiting for research. The organization also provides information and training in non-drug interventions that address the root causes of these conditions.

Kelly's special talent for integrating information from many sources and finding practical solutions has made her a popular speaker and workshop leader. She has lead workshops and lectured in over 20 cities. Sponsoring groups have included doctors, therapists, optometrists, international associations and schools.

She also has been appointed to advisory boards of several national organizations and has served, by governor appointment, on the Maryland Board of Dietetic Practice.
