WHAT DOES THE VIRTUAL AT-HOME BRAIN-BASED INTENSIVE PROGRAM LOOK LIKE?

1 - Comprehensive functional neurology assessment per Melillo Method TM protocols. It consists of 2- 3 virtual meetings with a child present. Assessment forms. Real-time instruction and demonstration of testing techniques per the MM testing procedure. An additional Interactive Metronome IM assessment is applicable to the virtual Neuro-Sensory-Motor and virtual Neurotiming programs only. If a child can't perform during a virtual assessment, a parent is guided on our virtual assessment session on how to test a child at home at a more convenient time. Later a parent shares the videos in a secure password protected mode with a provider. The videos are from each part of the assessment process. It may seem a bit complicated at the beginning, however after demonstrating each step on our virtual call, the assessment is easy.
