Initial assessment and goal-setting:

• After the initial assessment, we establish clear 6-month goals for Ethan based on his unique needs and challenges (e.g., improvements in speech clarity, fine motor skills, sensory processing, etc.).

• These goals are mutually agreed upon between your family and our team.

Conditions for the guarantee:

• Completing at least 75% of the prescribed games (5–6 days a week on average).

• Submitting weekly videos of your family engaging in the protocols so we can monitor progress and make necessary adjustments.

By the end of the 6-month program, you will achieve either (whichever is greatest):

• The specific goals set at the beginning of the program, or

• At least a 25% improvement in one of the key areas of focus, such as speech, fine motor skills, or sensory processing.

Refund process:

• If neither benchmark is met despite consistent effort and adherence to the program, you are eligible for a full refund of your payment.

• To date, this guarantee has only been used once in over 15 years, as most families see measurable improvements within the program's timeframe.

Autism is not a disease.

Sensory Enrichment aims at helping people feel good, calm, capable and confident to do anything they want without the crippling effects of anxiety, sleep deprivation, sensory overload, chemistry imbalance, etc.

The published clinical data shows that Mendability is effective up to the age of 18.

While we have not conducted an IRB clinical trial on adults, the science of brain plasticity suggests that adults may benefit from the program.

And indeed we have anecdotal examples of adults and seniors who have improved while using Sensory Enrichment Therapy.

This not just for autism. Mendability is a method of helping the brain, which impacts almost everything you do. We have worked with a wide range of conditions, including Alzheimer’s, Depression, Parkinson’s, Cerebral Palsy, ADHD, Addiction, etc.

Mendability is completely non-invasive. It provides simple, natural sensory experiences. It does not involve any pharmaceutical products or any other kind of compound.

However, we often get reports from parents during the first few days of the program who indicate temporary inconveniences. We believe these may be related to therapy’s impact on brain plasticity.

Parents describe these first few days as “emotional storms,” with more moodiness, more irritability. In some rare instances, there have been temporary sleep disruptions, and changes in stool consistency. All of these resolved themselves after a few days.

You do the activities with your special person at home.We will coach you online, or over the phone to make sure you are doing it well.

With our standard coaching plan, you can have as many coaching sessions as you need.

You typically are assigned 4 or 5 activities to do each day. The activities are designed to be done together and in order, as they often build on each other.

In total, enrichment sessions take about 10 minutes each. 

We recommend doing two sessions per day, as well as short sensory pairings during the day to support the repair work that was started during the therapy sessions.

Our clinical data shows that all age groups between 0 and 18 improve at essentially the same rate, although teens appear to progress a bit faster than younger children.

Anecdotally, the adults and seniors who followed our program of sensory enrichment appear to improve at the same rate as our older teens.

The quickest answer is that we complement Occupational Therapy by inducing a state of enhanced plasticity in the brain, which accelerates their work.

There is definitely overlap between Sensory Integration principles and Sensory Enrichment principles.

Both acknowledge that there is a wide variety of sensitivities in how signals from the environment are processed.

One important thing that OT’s have that we don’t is a library of exercises that can soothe the sensory system quickly and help fill a need of a person to be stimulated or to have the stimulation lowered. 

At Mendability, we focus on helping the brain learn how to process the environment more normally so as not to have these needs, but it is very useful to be able to satisfy these short term needs immediately.
