 You'll also find insightful blogs at his website. One in particular that I found interesting was the one entitled Dr. Melillo’s Holiday Shopping List for Kids with Autism. dr-melillo-holiday-shopping-list-kids-autism
Due to sensory integration issues, children with autism and other neurobehavioral disorders of childhood have special regulatory needs. A variety of therapy toys and sensory tools have been developed to help to minimize stress, reduce the occurrence of meltdowns and help children with special needs cope with sensory challenges. In fact, these are perfect gifts for any occasion.

Currently Dr. Melillo is working on the MelilloChallenge
