You will learn how the brain can change as a result at changes in the environment and what kind of activities you can do in your environment to influence brain development and brain function.
The course also describes the computer expert system that asks you questions about small changes you are seeing and prescribes the best sensory enrichment therapy protocols to stimulate the brain functions that are the most ready to be stimulated, to promote the healthiest growth.
Again, our most successful clients are the ones who took the course. You can take the course before you start the therapy or at the beginning of the therapy. When you enrol in one of our therapy plans, we will reimburse you for the amount you paid for the course.
Just looking for enrichment protocols to stimulate the brain?
The course describes 7 of our most powerful generic protocols.
No special equipment needed. You can do these brain stimulation activities at home with typical household items.
The course will give you the background behind these sensory enrichment games and their purpose. The more you understand how the brain works and how you can stimulate it with short, pleasant, new, focused sensory and motor games, the better you will do these activities with your family member.
One of these protocols is designed to enhance the ability of your brain to regulate its chemistry, with a wide range of benefits, including mood regulation, social skills, sleep and attention.
Another protocol typically leads to improvements in food diversification.
There is a fun game that helps promote better flow of information between the two sides of the brain, which also has a wide range of benefits in areas of cognitive processing.
The course includes lessons on how the brain works, how it engages with the environment, how it is designed to change and the kind of activities that have been shown to promote growth and even repair in the brain.
It also includes lessons about how to use Mendability’s expert system to prescribe a customized program, but you would need to enrol in one of our therapy plans to take advantage of that.
Already implementing Sensory Enrichment Therapy?
The most successful families in our program are the ones who take the 2 to 3 hours to complete the lessons.
The course goes deeply into how the expert system analyses your scores and prescribes the customized program, so that you can take full advantage of it to give you even more powerful results.
The more you understand how the brain works and how you can stimulate it with short, pleasant, new, focused sensory and motor games, the better you will do these activities with your family member.

"Best Course in Years!"
"Honestly, this was the first time in years that I was excited to run back to my clients and try out some of the content learned in this course.
I kept pausing the videos and modifying my client’s course of treatment." - Alexander M., OTR/L

What the Parents Who Took the Course Are Saying...
That’s wonderful! Thanks so much!
I absolutely loved this course, and all your webinars and blogs - and the meltdown tips work amazingly!!
-- Deb
Awesome! Just what I needed as my child pleads / refuses to go to school.
Thanks Mendability team!
-- Jan
Just thought we would let you know that we are in Europe (Czech only so far), and that our son was very good on the plane, overall flying time of 23 hours!
We did have a brief night stop over on the way, so that made the journey a little easier. This is by far his longest travel time since he was small (around 2), other than that the most flying time has been an hour.
Now we are on the ground and he is having a great time, saying "hi" to everyone and often repeating simple words back to people in the local language. He has adapted to his new environment amazingly well.
-- Matt & Petra
[My son] is improving so much. I think the scents have had an effect on me as well. Either that, or the hope i have that this treatment will improve [my son]'s life even if just by a little, is making me feel very positive.
I feel more loving toward my other kids. I feel i am more patient with all the kids. I feel like a good parent, as measured by me. It's an awesome experience.
-- Frances
It has been a very interesting course, I have acquired a lot of new information and will hopefully begin my sessions immediately with my children.
-- Dehbi, Psychologist
Bless you, claudie and the whole Mendability team, bless you. thank you for all of this.
I am just realizing now…that we were so busy with “caring for him” (meaning doing all the stuff and things regarding therapies, supplements, protocols, etc etc etc) that while we are constantly AROUND HIM we can now slow down and BE with him, without the stress of feeling like we should be doing something else because there’s so damn much to do. sigh. big ole sigh.
Thank you so much for your course.
-- Kylie, PT

In-depth inside look
An evidence-based brain enrichment program validated by randomized controlled trials
Sensory Enrichment Therapy is a new sensory modality that targets the mechanisms of brain plasticity to improve brain functioning.
Two randomized controlled trials (1,2) and a peer-reviewed intent-to-treat study of 1,002 children with autism and developmental delays (3) showed:
• 6x more effective than standard care alone (1)
• 21% fell below ADOS cutoff for autism after 6 months (2)
• Higher I.Q. (1,2)
• Progress consistent across all age groups (1 – 18 yrs.), genders, a wide range of symptoms (2,3)
1. Percent of individuals with clinical improvement on the Childhood Autism Rating Scale (CARS)
2. 21% of Sensorimotor-Enriched children and 0% of Standard-Care children fell below the autism cutoff score after 6 months
