Mendability LLC. is celebrating 25 years of helping to tackle neurological and behavioral problems such as autism and addiction, using online tools to access Sensory Enrichment Therapy. Mendability LLC is the developer and provider of sensory enrichment therapy, a treatment for neurological disorders. Sensory Enrichment Therapy helps in accelerating the brain’s plasticity by aiding in the brain's ability to compensate for a variety of challenges. Mendabilty’s online platform enables families to access Sensory Enrichment Therapy easily no matter their location.
Founder and CEO of Mendability, Kim Pomares, says for the past 25 years, the company has been helping children improve their academic performance and behavior regulation and assisting adults battling addiction to reduce cravings, improving mood and decreasing rate of relapse. Pomares adds that Mendability has helped parents become their children’s therapists with the gentlest and most effective ways to stimulate brain development.
He explains that the Mendability team has been pleased to hear from special needs teachers who have been implementing their program for kids with autism. According to him, these teachers are seeing dramatic behavioral improvements within weeks of starting the program, as kids no longer elope from classrooms but now sit through the whole class, recording tangible academic advancements. He says the kids are more focused and engaged in class activities, they get in assembly line happily, greet each other by name, among other notable improvements. According to him, the top 5 areas where parents report the most improvements in the first 6 months are: communication, sensory processing, self-awareness which is crucial for social skills, food diversification and sleep.
“When you start the program with us, you get to score over 300 questions by how much of a challenge they are for your special person on a scale of 1 to 5. Twice a month, you also score how much improvement you see, in each one of the areas that have been listed. The results that follow are usually very significant and mind-blowing. In the last 25 years, we have done this program with about 4,000 families, and the results have been not only intriguing, but astonishing” Pomares reiterates.
He notes that Mendability has also been getting testimonials of how it has helped adults who battled addiction achieve success and freedom. He says the company uses sensory enrichment to help addicts feel more in control and more at peace. According to him, this is done by treating addiction like a brain condition and helping the brain to re-balance its neurochemistry, facilitating increased processing speed between both sides of the brain, and populating weak brain functions with new connections. He explains that Sensory Enrichment Therapy is a subset of environmental enrichment. This field of neuroscience looks at how specific experiences can impact brain development and function. Mendability’s team developed this new evidence-based treatment modality by translating the protocols used in the science lab into short, fun, hands-on games that people can do from home to trigger the brain’s plasticity mechanisms.
As part of future goals, Mendability intends to launch Sparks, an artificial intelligence conversational tool that enables people in rural areas to access treatment without needing to move over to the cities. Pomares says the company is open to partnerships and investments in helping to build this tool which he believes will give the millions of families across the globe that, so far, have been left behind by the industry.
