This program was easy to learn and I have to say, has really helped my son with autism. Even though I do not perform it on him every day as recommended, I do it quite regularly and have found the following benefits: improvement in fine motor control and motor planning, a reduction in “stimming” and a reduction in his excessive muscle tone and rigidity. Amazingly, it often puts him to sleep. I find it is the only really effective means I have to calm his stimming when it becomes excessive and frenetic. It is also useful if he is just too wound up. Frankly, it is one of the most effective therapies (next to Equine Assisted Therapies) I have found, and we have had my son in an intensive program since he was two and half. It is very convenient since you don’t need to leave home and can do it in just 15 minutes or so. Also, obviously, it is hugely cost effective. I have been doing this for about 5 months.

It’s only been 8 weeks since we started this protocol and my son is speaking more, regulating easier, listening better and giving us far more eye contact. I am also more calm as the massage is soothing. He is even making and remembering friends. I would rate this as one of our top 4 interventions of dozens we’ve explored.

This is a highly effective tool that is easily understood and implemented. Amazing results for my 9 y/o grandson. Every member of his team wants a copy!
