Each child on the ASD spectrum is unique and ASD manifests itself at many different severity levels. Each child has their own pattern for dealing with the outside world and communicating with others but there are symptoms that are regularly seen in those with an ASD diagnosis. Symptoms include hyperactivity, obsession with particular routines, sensitivity to loud noises and bright lights, abnormal fixation on specific objects, repetitive movements, highly intelligent and focused in specific areas without concern or social connection, limited verbal skills, blank face expressions in emotional situations, limited eye contact, unresponsive to direction, unresponsive to audible directions, unaffected by emotional gestures from loved ones or caregivers.
MeRT is a safe "off label" use of Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation, a FDA-approved technology. Your child will undergo an EEG and then a customized set of protocols are developed for each child. Studies conducted have shown that for many children, MeRT can be instrumental in helping them develop or improve social interaction and communication skills. MeRT wokrs by modulating the brain waves which can help the brain be more organized, regain alpha predominance, and enable neurons to communicate more efficiently. This can result in higher functionality, emotional stability, and greatly improved communication and social skills. It frequently equates to a higher quality of life for both the child and the family. MeRT is a non-pharmaceutical and non-invasisve treatment.
A typical treatment session takes about 30-35 minutes. The patient sits in a chair while the neuro-technician administers the treatment via a hand-held magnet that is held near the scalp. The magnetic pulses are delivered for 5 seconds every 35-45 seconds.
Typically, MeRT treatment lasts anywhere from 6-10 weeks, however in some cases, additional treatment time is recommended for optimal results. Each individual is different, and protocols vary.
