FAQS
The intensive training is at NW7 Mill Hill Broadway, London
The intensive starts with a neurological assessment. There are 2 sessions of 90 minutes each on the first 4 days.On the 5th day there will a short neurological assessment session and therapy, leaving plenty of time for questions you might have.
Both Dana and Adi are Melillo certified therapists with plenty of experience working with children, including those who are non-verbal, low-functioning, or highly sensitive to touch. As parents of special kids ourselves, we’ve encountered a wide range of situations and successfully navigated challenging circumstances.
Absolutely! The cost of the intensive program covers support for the initial 3 months. You’ll receive 2 follow-ups calls with Dana and Adi. These calls are designed to ensure that parents feel confident in correctly implementing the customized plan. rest assured, we will always be available for any necessary additional calls.
Our mission is to empower children to overcome their challenges, enhance their health, and foster positive changes in their nervous systems. Our approach is rooted in Dr. Robert Melillo’s Method, which prioritizes child development and has positively impacted tens of thousands of children. Our therapy is customized to address specific areas of development that may not have progressed as expected.
By focusing on a hemispheric approach, we aim to balance and optimize brain function.
At the conclusion of the intensive week, each family will receive a comprehensive ‘Home Program.’ This program is designed to extend the benefits of the intensive intervention throughout the subsequent months.
Yes, Our approach involves activating brain networks, integrating primitive reflexes, enhancing vagal tone, and strengthening core muscles. We also focus on stabilizing the body and improving balance. Understanding the complexity of speech production is crucial for addressing speech and language disorders.
Effective interventions require addressing retained primitive reflexes, enhancing core strength, and tackling vestibular and developmental challenges.
These elements are essential for meaningful progress in speech and articulation.
Melillo’s method is a scientifically validated approach specifically designed to tackle a range of neurological issues, such as ADHD, dyslexia, and autism spectrum disorders. The program focuses on enhancing the balance and communication between the brain’s two hemispheres.Typically, this method incorporates a combination of sensory-motor exercises, cognitive activities, and dietary interventions
All devices in our intensive program are US FDA approved and safe for children and adults.
Research shows that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) and transcranial alternating current stimulation (TACS) effectively modulate brain activity using weak, painless electrical currents.
We use half the current intensity in our program compared to the research.
We also use Low-Level Laser Therapy (LLLT) to provide energy to neurons, promoting growth and efficiency by enhancing ATP production in mitochondria.
Additionally, we use Transcutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (TENS) for passive tactile stimulation.
The main side effect is potential skin irritation from the stickers, but TENS is generally very safe and has been used for decades.
Day 1:The initial session is dedicated to assessment and therapy
We evaluate primitive reflexes, vestibular function, balance (if feasible), core strength (if feasible), compartment muscle tone (if feasible), and eye function (if feasible).
In the afternoon session, we conduct additional tests if necessary or initiate therapy.
Days 2 to 4:These days focus on therapy and parent training.We address primitive reflexes, vestibular function, core strength, brain hemispheric balancing, and integration.
Day 5 :On the final day, we perform post-testing for selected findings.
We answer any remaining questions and provide additional therapy if time permits.
Throughout the week, we also consider nutritional needs and engage in discussions about home dynamics.
Parents play an integral role in the intensive training program.
Throughout the intensive week, you will learn the exercises, and starting from the second day, you’ll practice them under our guidance. This ensures that when you return home, you’ll feel confident performing the exercises daily
Similar to any intervention, we cannot guarantee specific results because each child’s progress is unique.
The intensive program serves as a ‘jump start’ for your child’s brain development.
While we observe progress during the intensive week, the majority of advancements occur afterward, at home. Therefore, training parents to perform daily exercises is essential for the program’s success.
What is your refund policy?
To secure your spot in the intensive program, we require a £500 deposit.
Our cancellation and refund policy is outlined as follows:
If you cancel more than 21 days before the intensive, we will fully refund your deposit.
If you cancel within 21 days, your deposit will be forfeited unless we can accommodate a participant from our waiting list.
In cases of medical emergencies, we will assess each situation individually.Your understanding and cooperation are appreciated.
The intensive week’s intervention is crucial for a child’s brain development. However, some children may find it challenging due to the effort and concentration required.
Because they might not fully understand the benefits, they may be reluctant to participate in some activities. Dana and Adi, both experienced therapists, will ensure that all children are engaged and participating.
Parent-Engaged Intensive Program:
Our UK-based program is unique because it actively involves parents throughout the intensive week. We guide parents through exercises based on the Melillo method, helping them gain confidence to continue these practices at home. Certified Therapists: Your child will work with 2 certified therapists at any given time, ensuring comprehensive support through a collaborative approach.
Intensive Hours and Support: We dedicate almost 14 full hours to your child during the week (excluding additional assessments), equivalent to nearly 19 weeks of regular therapy.
We also invest extra hours in creating a unique, tailored plan for your child, along with ongoing support.
Post-Intensive Zoom Calls: In the first 3 months after the intensive, you’ll have 2 Zoom calls with Dana and Adi
We prioritize your success and aim for faster results.
Extended Plan Duration: The plan you receive will cover at least 6 to 12 months of training.
During this period, you won’t need paid appointments unless you choose to book additional sessions.
Understanding and Empathy: As parents of special kids, we truly understand your journey. Feel free to ask any further questions or discuss details.
We’re committed to supporting your child’s development! 🌟🧠
