" Behind my silence , I had a thousand words to say !"
Not long ago , one of our Mendability kids said their first word . “ Juice .” The parent of our 17-year-old boy told their coach ( that ’ s our term for our therapists ) that his son , who hasn ’ t been able to communicate through words , told his mom that he wants juice . “ My son has been thirsty for 17 years and I didn ’ t even know it !” - the mom told her coach with joy .
How does Sensory Enrichment help nonverbal children develop speech ?
It ’ s important to note that there are early stages of speech development that your child needs to go through , starting with :
• Eye contact
• Spitting
• Mouthing
• Biting
• Vocalizing
• Imitating your sounds , etc .
Most nonverbal individuals are " stuck " part-way at one or more of these stages .
By inducing an elevated state of neuroplasticity , Sensory Enrichment multiplies the ability of the brain to create the connections it needs to advance from development milestone to milestone .
Words said , Words felt
With Sensory Enrichment , your child can finish developing natural spontaneous speech
This means that they can learn how to express what they want , how they feel , and later on their opinions , instead of just repeating what they are asked to repeat .
In randomized control trials , children who added Sensory Enrichment therapy to their existing programs were 6X more likely to improve by 5 points or more on CARS ( Childhood Autism Rating Scale ).

“ I think that [ my son ] is responding great to the therapy ! He definitely seems to be following instructions better across the board and is just a little more aware of the world around him .
We have also seen some improvements in speech , pronunciation , eating , handwriting and overall function .”
