What Is the Melillo Method?

This is your sub-headline

The Melillo Method® is a revolutionary, evidence-based approach to improving the lives of children and families struggling with neurological and developmental challenges. Developed by Dr. Robert Melillo, this method combines decades of neuroscience research with hands-on clinical strategies to help balance brain function and stimulate healthy neurodevelopment.

By focusing on the underlying functional imbalances between the brain’s hemispheres—rather than just managing symptoms—the Melillo Method aims to address the root cause of many childhood neurodevelopmental disorders.

Who Can Benefit from the Melillo Method?

This method is especially effective for children and adolescents experiencing challenges such as:

  • ADHD/ADD

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder

  • Sensory Processing Disorders

  • Learning Disabilities (Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, etc.)

  • Developmental Delays

  • Tic Disorders & Tourette’s

  • Emotional Regulation Issues

  • Speech and Language Delays

  • Behavioral Challenges

Many families also notice improvements in sleep, digestion, focus, social interaction, and overall emotional well-being.

How Does the Melillo Method Work?

The Melillo Method is a non-invasive, drug-free approach that integrates several therapeutic tools into a customized care plan. The goal is to identify and correct functional disconnections in the brain—areas where one hemisphere is not developing or communicating as efficiently as the other.

Your child’s care plan may include:

  • Neurological and Physical Assessments

  • Primitive Reflex Integration

  • Sensory and Motor Exercises

  • Cognitive and Academic Skill Training

  • Oculomotor (Eye Movement) Training

  • Nutrition and Lifestyle Recommendations

  • Home Support Programs for Families

Each plan is tailored specifically to your child’s unique neurological profile and developmental stage.

What Makes This Approach Different?

Unlike many traditional therapies that focus on symptom management, the Melillo Method works from the bottom up—starting with the most foundational elements of brain development. By activating underdeveloped areas of the brain and fostering improved connections, we work toward lasting functional changes.

What truly sets this method apart is its whole-child, whole-family perspective. Parents often find their own stress levels ease as their children become more regulated, engaged, and confident.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

When you visit EPIC Health and Movement, your child will receive a comprehensive neurological and developmental assessment. We’ll review your child’s medical history, birth and developmental milestones, behavioral traits, and more. From there, we create a fully individualized care plan using Melillo Method principles.

We also provide ongoing support for parents, so you feel confident and empowered throughout your child’s care journey.
