In your Intensive program, your child will receive 20 forty five minute sessions in two 90-minute blocks over the period of 5 consecutive days
On day 1, your child will receive a comprehensive developmental functional neurology assessment carried out by Gabriela Hennigan M.A. - Ireland's only Melillo Method TM certified provider and a childhood neurodevelopmental specialist who is a special education teacher, reflex integration therapist and education and behaviour consultant.
The intervention program will be devised on day 1 which is an assessment day
Your child will work with some, not all, cutting-edge devices, such as oscillotherapeutics, laser and digital health tools. Please scroll down for more details.
A parent / guardian will be requested to be present with a child throughout the program and will receive the instructions how to later deliver the home program to maintain the results.
On day 5, the discharge day, your child will receive a home therapy program to continue the intervention.
Description of the Intensive Brain TheraCamp The Melillo Method ™The 1-1 intensive Brain TheraCamp program is individualised for each child to meet their specific needs, but the general procedure is similar.Your child will have 4 x 45 minute sessions each day, five days a week, giving 20 sessions per week.
Assessment on day 1
Each child is first tested using a number of standardised tests to establish if there is an imbalance in the brain, which part of the brain is underdeveloped and which one is overdeveloped, and exactly which parts of the brain are most delayed in their development. To make this assessment, motor and coordination abilities, sensory processing, cognitive and academic skills are measured. Diet and habits that may negatively affect the brain and its development and balance are also assessed.
Intervention
Based on the results of the testing, an individualised programme is developed that addresses the specific needs of the particular child.A multimodal approach is used for maximum effect and supporting the integration of different brain areas, as well as the two hemispheres as a whole. Usually, a child does not need need all possible interventions, but a unique combination involving some of them. Children have 2 ninety minute sessions for 5 days a week in one week or a two-week program.There is always a home program that runs post to the intensive Brain TheraCamp sessions.Parents are instructed in advance how to do with their child the various exercises and stimulations included in it. The ideal option is for the child to receive specific targeted stimulation twice a day.If a large part of them is done at home, the achievement of the result is accelerated in time and costs are reduced for the families.
Here are some examples of the multi-modal stimulation during the intensive Brain TheraCamp program with the use of cutting-edge technology

If your child is receiving traditional therapies, expect traditional results!In the intensive programs we re-wire the brain while following specific advanced hemispheric-based protocols and some cutting-edge tools used in the field of developmental functional neurology and neuroscience.'' The goal is simple: restore balance to the brain by targeting specific networks on one side of the brain with very specific stimulation. By combining different types of stimulation (light, sound, smell, movement, inner ear, balance, touch) along with cognitive and academic activities etc., we can activate specific networks on one side of the brain, causing them to grow and become more connected.'' - by Dr. Melillo
