How the Program Works
Science has been reminding us that nature offers the best solutions to help us feel less anxious, overwhelmed or disconnected.
Mendability has developed an evidence-based, clinically-validated therapy to make living with autism simpler and more comfortable.
Can you smell this picture?
It feels amazing, doesn’t it?
Did you know that the sense of smell is connected to the pleasure centers in the brain and a nice scent can double your brain’s dopamine levels?
That’s the power of Sensory Enrichment.
In this video, you can see that these little children stop crying when they’re smelling.
That scent holds up a “stop screaming” sign to the brain and tells it to process the scent which is a reminder of something enjoyable.
You can try this for yourself!
Grab an orange or a perfume you really like and see how the smell makes you feel.
And smell is just one of the senses that we can use to stimulate the brain! Imagine what you can do when you combine two or even three senses!
How does this simple method relate to autism?
When helping a child with autism, repetition and a structured schedule are critical. Mendability combines the two: repetitive sensory stimulation.
Our program contains sensory exercises that stimulate brain plasticity.
While there is still so much we don’t know about the brain, what we do know is that when exposed to new experiences and repetition, the human brain will create and consolidate new connections.
