"My son has been using Mente for the past two years. As he was diagnosed with ASD, we turned to Mente’s therapy for help. Prior to starting the therapy sessions our son was highly non-verbal & we communicated mainly through sign language.

His disorder even made it difficult for him to undergo new experiences & adapt to different environments. This changed when he started using Mente. The change we saw in him was staggering. He has become significantly calmer & focussed & is able to communicate verbally, now more than ever.

Hearing my son talk & engage in discussion was, & still is, the ultimate gift I could have ever hoped for. The change in him was also remarked upon by his teachers, peers & friends, all saying that he had changed into a more loving & sociable person. By effectively helping our son, Mente has positively changed my family’s dynamics & for that, I do recommend it.”
