How to not only de-escalate a meltdown but to also turn it into 40 minutes of concentration, within seconds and without talking
How to welcome students in a soothing space and stimulate their brains for attention and learning
Whether you select the 30-minute or the 60-minute format, we will train you live and take time to answer your questions to ensure the training can be applied in your unique classroom environment.
Depending on the size of your team, we would be happy to have refreshments provided by a local provider.
Food is usually a nice way to make the session memorable. :-)

You can get your team together for a live training session or you can send your team to take the course online when it is convenient to them.
The core content of the course typically takes 3 hours to complete.
The course is also loaded with 10 hours of reference material that you can access at any time.
After completing the online course, we help you translate the training for implementation in your unique setting. For 3 months, we can schedule as many sessions as you need to help your team become 100% comfortable and seeing results.
Too many programs end up collecting dust on a shelf.
We are your partners. It’s in our best interest to see your team do well with it and see students become happier in your classrooms.
• The Multisensory Core Protocol: A powerful way to prime the brain for growth
• Gentle Claw + Smell: Bring calm and induce an elevated state of neuroplasticity
• Bead sorting – No vision: develop mental image, a crucial step for self-awareness and social skills
• Finger gym: Example of a protocol for speech apraxia
• Maze in the mirror: Requires the brain to re-learn something simple and grow new connections
• Art – point and say: Pairing a dopamine rush with speech development
In most settings it makes sense to assign a member of your team to champion and coordinate Sensory Enrichment with the others. This person will receive their own weekly coaching sessions.
6 weeks is usually all it takes for Sensory Enrichment champions to become confident in coaching their peers, but we can extend the coaching where needed.
We never leave you alone. We are partners in this.
There is no extra fee for scheduling additional coaching sessions.
It is in our best interest to train confident and competent educators in bringing improved behavior regulation and academic performance to their students.
It’s like Christmas every month to receive a package filled with Mendability-approved materials to enrich your classroom environment.
There is an extra monthly fee for that service of $40 per classroom.

ALL the Behavior Regulation Training and Coaching, AND
Our program director will prescribe a set of Sensory Enrichment activities to do with your students, customized to their current levels and needs.
All you need to do is complete a 25-question survey for each special education student in the classroom.
To keep things simple, the program will be customized to the classroom as a whole and you will do the same protocols with all the students.
Where appropriate, we can also prescribe a custom program to individual students.
Every 3 weeks (or 4 weeks depending on your situation) you move on to the next level of programming.
The program is designed to gradually improve your students’ ability to regulate their own behavior and to process and learn abstract concepts like math.
Every time you get new Sensory Enrichment activities for your classroom, we will coach you on:
• the purpose of each protocol,
• how to dial things up or down for each student to optimize brain stimulation,
• what materials you can use in your classroom.
We never leave you alone. We are partners in this.

The best training and coaching happens when we can visit your classrooms and see with our own eyes how your students respond, rather than rely on your descriptions.
There is an additional fee of $1,000 per day + travel expenses ($2,000 within US/CAN).
In Education, Sensory Enrichment Spaces enable students to learn more quickly and easily by exposing them to a variety of sensory stimulations not found in the classroom.
In Addiction, Sensory Enrichment Spaces enable faster recovery and healing by providing a soothing and stimulating environment for their brains.
Burnout is real for teachers, clinicians, frontline workers, etc. Let us re-design your staff room into an enrichment oasis, and give your team the energy and resilience they have been looking for.
More than exposing the individual to generic stimuli, Sensory Enrichment Rooms were created and designed by Mendability to trigger the mechanisms of brain plasticity and direct the surge of activity and growth to specific brain functions.
Sensory Enrichment therapy and Environmental Enrichment Spaces have been shown in clinical trials to be many times more effective than standard care and standard sensory environments.

The above diagram represents a 300 sqft room design, with a series of therapy stations that correlate to specific protocols that have been developed and tested by Mendability.
Stations are easily adaptable to deliver multiple protocols. This room design can accommodate up to 6 clients and 3 accompanying professionals.
The modular design makes the installation a quick and mess-free 2-day process.
The durable and safe equipment installed comes with a 10-year warranty.
Once the room is installed, everything required for enrichment protocols is ready to use.
Maintenance typically requires less than 15 minutes per week.
Its unique and welcoming design makes it a place children look forward to visiting.
Teachers and professionals report more consistent engagement from the students than regular therapy sessions.
Room is custom-designed and built to fit in your space.
Mendability also customizes the program to the unique needs and profile of each student.
Built-in check-in and check-out pad to make reporting automatic
Environmental Enrichment and Mendability's sensory enrichment program have been the subject of many clinical trials.
For example, 21% of children with Autism Spectrum Disorders no longer qualify for their initial diagnosis after 6 months.
Also participants saw an average increase of 10 points in their IQ.
Safety is always paramount and we like to ensure we have all angles covered
