ABA Teaches Behavior. MeRT Prepares the Brain to Learn It.

Together, ABA and MeRT can help children with autism make greater progress, with less frustration. Learn how brain-based therapy supports behavioral success.

ABA is a go-to treatment for autism. Here’s why.

Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA) is a structured, evidence-based method used to teach communication, social skills, and behavior management. It’s often recommended by schools, doctors, and therapists as a foundation for autism care.

Many children benefit from ABA by learning how to:

  • Communicate more clearly

  • Follow instructions and routines

  • Reduce disruptive behaviors

  • Build independence

But even with the right therapy plan, some kids don’t respond the way their parents hoped.

Some children struggle to stay focused during sessions. Others resist therapy altogether. And for many, the learning gains just don’t seem to stick.

This isn’t a failure. It’s often a sign that the brain needs more support before behavioral changes can take hold.

That’s where MeRT® comes in.

What is MeRT, and how can it help ABA work even better?

MeRT (Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy) is a neuroscience-based treatment that uses advanced brain mapping and magnetic stimulation to improve communication between areas of the brain.

Here’s what the process looks like:

  • We start with a non-invasive brain scan (EEG)

  • Your child’s unique brainwave activity is analyzed

  • We then create a customized treatment plan of TMS to gently stimulate underperforming areas of the brain

This helps support improvements in:

  • Focus and attention

  • Emotional regulation

  • Sensory processing

  • Language development

  • Sleep quality

Why does the combination of ABA and MeRT work so well?

ABA gives your child the tools to thrive.
MeRT helps their brain use those tools.

When combined, families often see:

  • More calm, focused ABA sessions

  • Faster skill acquisition

  • Less frustration for both the child and the therapist

  • A more confident, regulated child

Think of it as creating better brain readiness for learning.

What parents are saying…

“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.”
