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 goal is to support children in developing their skills, encouraging overall well being, and promoting positive patterns in their nervous system. Our approach is based on Dr. Robert Melillo’s Method, which is widely used to support child development.
Our activities are tailored to each child to focus on areas that may need extra support.
By using a hemispheric approach, we aim to encourage coordination and balance between the two sides of the brain.
At the end of the intensive week, each family receives a personalised ‘Home Program’.
This is designed to provide practical activities that can be continued at home, helping to extend the benefits of the programme in the following months.
Yes, our activities are designed to support brain networks, encourage the integration of primitive reflexes, promote vagal tone, and build core strength. We also include exercises that may help with body stability and balance.
Speech and language development is a complex process, and activities that address areas such as retained primitive reflexes, core strength, and vestibular function may provide helpful support.
By focusing on these areas, we aim to create conditions that can support a child’s ability to develop speech, language, and articulation skills.
Melillo’s method is an evidence-informed approach that supports children with developmental differences, including ADHD, dyslexia, and autism spectrum conditions.
The programme focuses on encouraging coordination and communication between the brain’s two hemispheres.
It typically includes a mix of sensory-motor activities, cognitive exercises, and lifestyle guidance, all aimed at providing practical ways to support a child’s development.
Safe and Gentle Technology in Our Intensive Programme
All the devices we use are recognised as safe for both children and adults, and many are also cleared by the US FDA.
We carefully use approaches such as:
tDCS and tACS – these involve very gentle, painless electrical currents that have been widely studied for their effects on brain activity. In our programme, we use only half the current intensity typically used in research.
Low-Level Laser (LLLT) – a gentle light-based approach that delivers energy to cells and may support natural cellular processes.
TENS – a method that provides light, passive tactile stimulation through the skin. TENS has been used for decades and is generally considered very safe.
The most common side effect reported is mild skin irritation from the sticky pads, but this is rare and usually short-lived.
Our priority is always your child’s comfort and safety while providing supportive activities that may help their development.
Your Child’s Intensive Week – What to Expect
Day 1 – Understanding Your Child
We start by gently assessing different areas of your child’s development, such as balance, core strength, primitive reflexes, vestibular function, and eye movements (where appropriate). This gives us a clearer picture of how to best support them.
In the afternoon, we may continue with a few extra checks if needed, or we’ll get started with activities.
Days 2–4 – Building Skills & Supporting Parents
These days are all about hands-on activities for your child, combined with parent sessions so you feel confident continuing at home.
We focus on exercises that may support balance, core strength, primitive reflex integration, and brain hemispheric coordination all aimed at helping your child move, learn, and engage with more ease.
Day 5 – Review & Guidance
On the final day, we revisit some of the areas we looked at on Day 1 so you can see progress. We’ll answer any questions you have and, if there’s time, include some extra activities.
Throughout the Week
We’ll also chat about nutrition and family routines, as these can make a real difference in supporting your child’s development at home.
Our aim is to equip you with practical tools, activities, and guidance so you leave feeling supported and empowered to continue your child’s journey.
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
Just like with any developmental programme, every child responds differently, so we can’t guarantee specific results.
Our intensive week is designed to give your child’s development a gentle ‘kick-start.’
Some progress may be seen during the week itself, but the most meaningful changes often take place afterward, at home.
That’s why a key part of our approach is training parents in simple daily activities so you feel confident supporting your child long after the intensive has finished.
