Melillo Method™ Therapy
Our Journey
Our journey into the world of Dr. Melillo's groundbreaking work began when I stumbled upon his book, "Disconnected Kids," while exploring autism-related sites. Feeling an immediate connection to the concepts presented, I ordered the book and delved into its contents. The resonance was profound, prompting me to reach out to Dr. Melillo's office for a virtual consult. Following the prescribed plan initially, I soon recognized the need for a more intensive approach and decided to visit Dr. Melillo in person. Undertaking an incredible journey of over 4000 km to Rockville Centre, New York, my family and I engaged in a week-long intensive with Dr. Melillo and his team. The focus on addressing functional disconnections between the brain hemispheres made complete sense, particularly in the context of our daughter's challenges. Intrigued and inspired, I furthered my commitment by enrolling in Dr. Melillo's Functional Neurology course. Immersing myself in extensive research, printing over 5000 pages and studying countless articles, I completed nine modules and successfully passed the exam through the Interdisciplinary Association of Functional Neurosciences and Rehabilitation, earning my Certification.
What is the Melillo Method?
The Melillo Method was developed by Dr. Robert Melillo, a chiropractic neurologist and researcher in the field of functional neurology. It is an approach based on functional neurology for treating neurodevelopment disorders such as autism, ADHD, and learning disabilities.
As a Certified Melillo Practitioner, I am dedicated to working with a diverse range of children and adults facing learning challenges, ADHD, autism, sensory processing disorder, dyslexia, dysgraphia, visual disturbances, motor and sensory challenges, and much more.
My primary focus is on helping both children and adults restore weak networks in the brain. Through a comprehensive assessment, I tailor individualized at-home programs designed to promote neuroplasticity and enhance connectivity between brain hemispheres.
In addition to hemispheric balancing, I integrate specific exercises aimed at addressing primitive reflexes—innate, involuntary motor responses originating in the brainstem. Ordinarily, these reflexes integrate naturally by the age of one. However, when they persist, they can disrupt the brain's blueprint, leading to delays in the development of neural networks.
Hemispheric balancing is a key aspect of this process, and I employ a range of modalities, including light therapy, sound therapy, vibration, smell therapy, frequency therapy, and more, to strengthen these connections.
My goal is to guide individuals on a transformative journey, facilitating the integration of reflexes and foster stronger, more resilient brain networks in both hemispheres; primarily the underdeveloped or weak side.
