Finding Someone to Work with You or Your Child

There are two lists on this page: QST Child Therapists certified to train parents and work directly with children (first list), and QST Parent Trainers who are certified to teach and support parents but not to work directly with children (second list).

QST Autism Child Therapists
This section lists Certified QST Therapists who have completed the QST therapist training course and who provide QST treatment for autism. These individuals have graduated from an approved program, where they learned to train parents and work with children directly. They provide services through their employers or individually, and are not employed by QSTI.

Those individuals who have a “DS” notation have completed the QST Massage for Children with Down Syndrome course.

If a therapist isn’t located near you, you can work with one of our QST master trainers via Skype/email/phone through Distance Coaching and Support, or you can take a QST course for parents with one of our master trainers.
