Your child is not broken. Their nervous system needs support.
Support for autism, ADHD, SEN and sensory processing differences, ages 18 months to 18 years.
You've tried the strategies, kept the appointments, read the books. The reason it hasn't fully worked is that everyone's been starting in the wrong place, the nervous system, not the behaviour.
On a free 15 minute call, we'll tell you honestly what we think is going on, and whether we can help.
No obligation. No diagnosis needed. Just fifteen minutes with Adi and Dana.
A message from Adi & Dana, parents and Melillo Method practitioners
Does any of this sound like your house?
We support children with ADHD, autism, dyslexia, learning difficulties and other developmental challenges, including children who are still waiting for a diagnosis. Most families who find us have already been trying for a long time. What you're seeing every day has a reason, and it's got nothing to do with behaviour or parenting.
You know your child. We know where to look.
Every family that reaches out to us has already been through a lot. Here's what makes working with us different.
Personalised programmes
No two children get the same plan. Every programme is built around your child, their history and what your family is dealing with right now.
Parent-led support & coaching
You're in the room for every decision. We coach you through the home exercises so progress keeps going long after the session ends.
Whole-child approach
We don't just target one behaviour. We look at sleep, movement, emotions, focus and communication together, because in real life they're never separate.
In-person Intensive Training
Hands on, in clinic sessions in Mill Hill, London, for families who want to work with us face to face.
Remote programmes worldwide
Full support from home, wherever you are. Families in the US, Australia, Israel and across Europe get the same level of care.
No diagnosis needed, and it's not instead of OT or speech therapy. We work alongside the professionals already supporting your child, looking at why the difficulties exist at the nervous system level.
Our older son didn't speak until he was five.
That's not a statistic from a course we took. It's where this started. We've spent over 20 years in developmental therapies since. Both of us are Melillo Method certified, since 2022, and we've never stopped learning. Auditory listening. Vision therapy. Posturology. Neurofeedback. Kinesiology. Nervous system regulation. Anatomy.
But the real qualification came before any certificate. Our older son was diagnosed at the lowest percentile for his age in the UK. Today he is fully verbal, has finished his GCSEs, has friends and is independent. Our younger son developed social anxiety that got worse during the pandemic years, to the point where he stopped speaking above a whisper, even to us, even at home. Through breathing exercises, mindfulness and a huge amount of patience, his voice came back. So did his confidence.
We have dealt with PANDAS, with rage that turned physical, with frustration and anxiety that had nowhere to go and came out sideways. Some years our house was chaos. We chose a different route for our own sons. We believed their nervous systems could be helped to do what they were built to do, and they have. That is what we bring into every family we work with. If your house feels like ours did, we know exactly where to start looking. Read our full story →
Look beyond what you can see.
The behaviours you see are often only part of the picture. In plain terms, here's the order we work in, and why each step tends to come before the next one can do its job.
Regulation
Help the nervous system feel safe, so your child isn't stuck in fight, flight or shutdown.
Movement
Build balance, coordination and body awareness, the physical foundation the brain relies on.
Reflexes
Gently help early automatic reflexes finish switching off, so they stop getting in the way.
Learning & Communication
Focus, language and independence can now land, because the foundation underneath them is there.
Want the science behind each stage? Here's how it maps to the nervous system.
Safety first. The nervous system has to come out of survival mode.
A child stuck in fight or flight can't listen, can't learn, can't settle. Most approaches skip this step entirely.
Switch off the reflexes that never finished developing.
Primitive reflexes that should switch off in infancy quietly get in the way of everything when they don't. Take our free course on primitive reflexes →
Strengthen the bridge between body and brain.
Balance and coordination work connects movement, timing, attention and learning.
Now focus, communication and independence can actually land.
Not because they tried harder, but because the brain now has the foundation to get there.

"Our daughter is more settled, more confident and finally making friends at school. We wish we'd found them sooner."
