Sensory Enrichment Story: Mickey eats solids for the first time in 14 years

This boy is 14 years old. He started doing Mendability, an implementation of Sensory Enrichment Therapy 2 months ago.

A year before this video was taken, a therapist tried to put a jelly bean into his mouth. He vomited. He was never able to eat any solids. Then, by surprise, Mickey took a hard cookie.

One of the benefits of Sensory Enrichment therapy is that an improvement in the processing of sensory inputs. For Mickey, textures are no longer a problem when eating. But this is not all: background noise can be filtered out, clothes can be worn without discomfort, crowded places can be attended normally, engine noises are no longer a problem, etc. Mickey is now more comfortable in all settings. Because of that alone, his anxiety levels have gone down.

Of course, we are not there yet. There are more brain functions to improve in the areas of learning, movement control, behaviors mood and speech, but we are confident that the journey ahead is a good one. He enjoys doing the therapy and mom and dad have a lot of help to stay consistent with the program.

My 9 year old son who has high-functioning autism and ADD does not eat fruits at all. I think it is because he doesn't like the sweet taste of fruits nor the mushy texture of an orange or a banana and the crisp texture of an apple. Please let me know how i can do sensorial enrichment with him.

Im a single mom. I cant afgord to pay for this program. Is there help for a family like mine? It's so unfair that therapies are charged so much it makes it impossible to get help. Great program but too expensive.
