Founded by Dr Michelle Scholten, Brainfit Kids is our proprietary movement program that uses brain-based exercises and leading edge digital therapeutics to optimise movement, learning and social skills in children.
The program is based on the science of functional neurology and neuroplasticity. Neuroplasticity describes the brains ability to modify and re-wire itself. Without this ability our brains wouldn’t evolve from infancy to adulthood. Science also tells us that brain connectivity can be improved with the right exercise and stimulation.
The Brainfit Kids program is based on the work of Dr Robert Melillo, one of the most respected specialists in childhood neurological disorders in America. In the 1990’s, Dr Melillo discovered that children presenting with learning and behavioural challenges did so because of a ‘hemispheric disconnect’ he termed ‘Functional Disconnection Syndrome’ that was related to immature development of one side of the brain. It was determined the right and left sides of the brain were not electrically balanced or synchronised.
The extremely exciting aspect about Dr Melillo’s discovery of functional disconnection syndrome is that he found hemispheric disconnect could be corrected bringing the brain back into balance. Using the Melillo Method™ we are able to identify brain imbalance and formulate a treatment plan aimed at stimulating and strengthening the weak and underactive hemisphere, bringing about brain balance and improved connectivity. Both in-clinic and home care exercises are based on the Melillo Method™ and are an essential part of helping your child achieve optimal results.
Brainfit Kids’ mission is to support children and families in our community who are struggling with neurodevelopmental challenges.
We are here to help you understand the brain’s role in health and to support your child to achieve optimal brain function so they can fully engage in their lives.
