“The therapy with Mente Autism helped us to improve his communication skills, to teach him social skills and, more importantly, his behavioral problems decreased significantly. When I visited him at the kindergarten, I did not recognize him.”

We began educational therapy with Kıvanç two years ago after he began showing signs of poor attention, hyperactivity and severe behavioural problems. His behaviour problems increased due to a unsuitable and persistent approach taken in previous educational therapy sessions.

His mother was so disappointed; she was told that the only way to make Kıvanc sit at table to do his tasks was to tie him to the table. Our approach with him was totally different – we reached out to him through sports and play activities. It worked, and he started to communicate with us, to understand certain commands but those were limited. He had reached school age and we were looking at alternatives to help him be ready for that step.

His family and I decided to use the Mente Autism headband. After 10 days of use, Kıvanc was calmer and more open to receiving instructions, and he understood commands during sessions a lot better.

At that point, Kıvanc was ready to go to kindergarten. The therapy with Mente Autism helped us to improve his communication skills, to teach him social skills and, more importantly, his behavioral problems decreased significantly.

When I visited him at the kindergarten, I did not recognize him. He was listening to the story told by the teacher and he was happy. When he asked for juice at the supermarket, his family were overjoyed. He started to use 2 words sentences.

Today; Kıvanc is speaking and he is going to start primary school in September 2018.
