Spectral light therapy for autism spectral disorders
First Claim
1. A color therapy room comprising four walls which are pale gold in color, an entrance, and a spectral color and light therapy system useful in treating and/or ameliorating the symptoms of an autism spectrum disorder in a subject in need thereof, said spectral color and light therapy system consisting of four different lights in a first and a second pair which emit colored light at a combined total brilliance factor of 2000 LUX to 25,000 LUX, wherein a first light in the first pair of lights provides (a) (i) blue light in the range of 450 to 475 nm;
- and a second light in the first pair of the lights provides (ii) green light in the range of 495 nm to 570 nm; and
a third light which is in the second pair of lights provides a light of 635 nm to 650 nm; and
a fourth light which is in the second pair of the lights is 580 nm to 610 nm;
wherein each of the lights emits spectral color in the absence of non-visible light below 390 nm or above 750 nm, andwherein the first pair of lights and the second pair of lights are positioned on the walls in the color therapy room such that the first pair of lights are on a first wall adjacent to a corner in the room and the second pair of lights are on a second wall adjacent to the corner.

Abstract
A spectral color and light therapy system is described which is useful in treating mood, anxiety, attention, substance, and/or behavioral disorders. The system utilizes one or more light source which emits visible colored light at a brilliance factor of at least about 2500 and at least one of four colors which are different from each other, said system providing (a) (i) a light source emitting blue light in the range of about 450 to about 475 nm; and (ii) a source emitting green visible light in the range of about 495 nm to about 570 nm; and (b) a light source emitting rose pink light in the range of about 635 nm to about 650 nm; and a light source of peach light in the range of about 590 nm to about 630 nm. Also provided are methods of treating mood, anxiety, attention, substance, and/or behavioral disorders. Methods of treating and/or ameliorating the symptoms of autism spectrum disorders are described.
