ABA & MeRT

Support Your Child’s ABA Therapy with a Brain-Based Boost

ABA helps build essential skills. MeRT helps the brain get ready to learn. Together, they can help your child make meaningful, lasting progress.

What Is ABA Therapy?

And Why Is It So Widely Recommended?​

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is one of the most trusted and widely used therapies for autism. It works by breaking complex skills into smaller steps and using reinforcement to help children learn communication, social interaction, and daily living skills.

ABA can help with:

  • Language development
  • Reducing challenging behaviors
  • Following instructions
  • Building independence


It’s a structured, science-backed approach that gives many children the tools they need to thrive. But even with the best programs, some kids hit roadblocks. And that’s where MeRT may help.

When ABA Progress Slows, It’s Not Always About the Therapy

Sometimes a child resists ABA sessions.

Other times, progress starts strong but then plateaus.

For many families, this leads to frustration… and tough questions.

But what if the problem isn’t the therapy, it’s the brain’s readiness to learn?

That’s where MeRT, a brain-based therapy, may help.

Introducing MeRT

A Gentle, Brain-Based Treatment That Supports Learning

MeRT® (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) is a non-invasive treatment that uses advanced brainwave analysis and magnetic stimulation to help optimize brain function.

Here’s how it works:

  • We begin with a brain scan (EEG) to identify dysregulated brainwave activity
  • A personalized treatment plan is created for your child’s unique brain patterns
  • We use gentle magnetic pulses to help rebalance and organize brain activity

 

Parents often report improvements in:

  • Communication and social engagement
  • Sleep and emotional regulation
  • Attention and learning
  • Sensory processing and calm behavior

Safe, Personalized, and Research-Informed

Our goal is to support your child and help you feel confident in your treatment decisions.

Why Combine ABA and MeRT?

ABA teaches your child what to do. MeRT helps their brain receive and apply it.

By addressing brain function directly, MeRT can make it easier for children to:

  • Focus during sessions
  • Follow directions
  • Retain what they’ve learned
  • Reduce stress and frustration

Together, ABA and MeRT can create a more responsive, balanced environment for learning—and lasting growth.

Feedback from Families

“He has always been a fast learner, but after treatment, he has been smashing all of his goals with his therapy.”​

“We did six weeks of MeRT, and the last session finished last week. His therapist is shocked at how much he is talking now.”

“His speech therapist says she is seeing much more progress compared to before and behavior has gotten way better in school.”
