Description

Hey guys, hey! šŸ’› It’s the final day of our 30 Days of Content celebrating Autism Awareness and OT Month, and we’re closing things out with a true pioneer in the field: Dr. Robert Melillo.


Dr. Melillo is the author of Disconnected Kids, co-founder of Brain Balance Achievement Centers, creator of the Melillo MethodĀ®, and host of the Everything Brain podcast. With over 35 years of experience as a clinician, researcher, and professor, he’s helped transform how we understand and support neurological development in both children and adults.


šŸŽ§ In this episode, we discuss:




  • The brain-body connection in autism, ADHD, OCD & more




  • Why brain imbalances—not damage—are often the root issue




  • How the Melillo Method helps retrain the brain non-invasively




  • What makes Disconnected Kids a timeless resource




  • Insights for autistic adults seeking brain-based interventions




Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, OT, or neurodivergent adult—this conversation is full of scientific insight and genuine hope.
