"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 Professionals Who Took the Course Are Saying...
I am an Occupational Therapist and have been for the past 20 years. For about 10 years now I have been working in Early Intervention.
For the last several months I have been implementing Sensory Enrichment Therapy as a Mendability coach for the families of the birth to 3-year-old children whom I am working with and I am hooked, a 100% true believer!
The children I work with have a variety of diagnosis and delays. These children were making some progress already, but with Mendability progress has jumped and appears to be occurring more rapidly.
The research is solid, the results are astounding.
-- Sarah Grant, MS, OTR/L
I thought this was an overall fantastic course.
Although I have preexisting knowledge on this topic, I was able to learn a couple of new ideas.
I will definitely incorporate what I learned into my therapy sessions.
-- EVA, OTR/L

This course was very informative, especially in regard to the mechanics of brain plasticity and the purpose for the therapy protocols.
I learned not only how to better implement the therapy, but also how to gauge if my client was engaged and benefitting from the exercises.
The information was presented well, and it was helpful to have the videos in addition to the written content.

Or you may implement any combination of the above.

This course takes on average 10 hours to complete.
Who is this course for?
The Sensory Enrichment Therapy™ Certification Course is limited to professionals with a Master’s degree, or a Bachelor’s degree plus 2 years experience in a related field.
With this training, professional therapists will be able to confidently add Sensory Enrichment Therapy into their practice to improve the recovery rate of their clients.
This Certification Course is provided completely online.
You can take the course using your own computer or mobile device.
To deliver this therapy, you will need to know:
• What Sensory Enrichment Therapy entails,
• The neuroscience upon which it is based,
• How to use the software on which it runs,
• The practical application of the therapy,
• How to work with clients and manage that relationship as it pertains to Sensory Enrichment Therapy, and
• How to integrate the therapy into your business and therapy practice.
What does certification allow me to do?
Certification shows that you have taken the online certification course and achieved the minimum requirements for certification.
An active certification gives you the title of Approved Provider of Sensory Enrichment Therapy, and allows you to charge for, supply support services, and/or engage directly in Sensory Enrichment Therapy as per the approved provider manual that you will have access to.
Certification may fall under one of the following classifications:
• Active (Certificate holder has an unexpired certificate and an active Mendability account in good standing)
• Inactive (Certificate holder does not have an active Mendability account in good standing)
• Expired (Certificate holder has not recertified in the required time frame)
• Suspended (Certificate holder is under disciplinary actions for the purpose of correcting errant behavior)
• Revoked (Certificate holder has either not responded favorably to the suspension, or has committed grossly errant behavior resulting in the loss of certification)
Only with an active certification are you able to engage in Sensory Enrichment Therapy.
Upon successful completion of your online certification course, you will also be awarded 1.0 CEU’s (10 Contact Hours) to apply towards your continuing education requirements as a professional.
What is the format of the course?
This training is 100% online but you still have the option to call us with any questions. In fact, we encourage it.
Within the online content, there will be visual slides presenting text summaries, data, charts, animations, and videos. The course content will also be narrated to aid audio learners. In addition, there will be text-based content to accompany all of the material.
A few learning modules will be presented in text form only. These sections are primarily short and informational, not conducive to a slide presentation and too short for audio recordings.
What is a passing grade for the course?
Module assessments will be interactive and will use multiple choice / true-false questions to evaluate your learning. In the event of an incorrect answer, you will be able to return to the relevant part of the course content to review the answer before attempting the question again.
You may retake any questions that you get wrong, and you must eventually answer all questions 100% correctly to achieve certification.
There will also be a final exam at the conclusion of the course requiring 100% score with multiple attempts. The final exam is an open book test, meaning that you can refer back to your own notes or to the course material when answering questions.
In addition, we request that you complete an online evaluation of the course after obtaining the certification.
The online certification course is expected to take about 10 hours to complete.
