If you have any questions about the approach and want to find out more, please consider contacting us for a free, 30-minute consultation. We will be there for you and your loved ones every step of the way! 

The HANDLE® approach works extremely well for a broad range of neurological challenges. We have seen positive results from individuals diagnosed with:

• Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity
• Learning Disabilities (Including Dyslexia)
• Tourette's Syndrome
• Brain Injury, Stroke, Cerebral Palsy
• Autism Spectrum Disorders
• Obsessive Compulsive Disorder
• Sensory Processing Disorder

The HANDLE® approach can also be beneficial for families concerned about:

• Perplexing Behaviors
• Language Delays
• Organizational/Memory Problems
• Sleep Disorders
• Work Efficiency
• Social Interactions

The HANDLE® approach recognizes that these diagnoses are shorthand terms to describe clusters of symptomatic behavior. The approach looks at each person as a unique individual, not a label. Each program is modified to benefit the individual and optimize their neurological functioning. 

No, this program works best with a follow-up meeting every 4 to 6 weeks. When an individual starts the program, optimal results come from 10-30 minute session per day, woven into the daily routine. These can be self-administered or carried out with the help of another. The daily program of activities is designed gentley support the development of new neuropathways without pushing the individual past their threshold of comfort or stressing their systems.   During the follow-ups, we can go over the individual plan, progress made and adjustments that will benefit the individual even more. During these sessions we will also go over specific activities to make sure that they are being done properly from home. In-between consultations are always available if they're needed.

No, the HANDLE® approach is a drug-free approach.  This plan was developed through psychological research and trials that promote neurological functionality without putting unnecessary stress or worry on the client. When stress or pressure overwhelms an individual, it may trigger a flight or fight response, and functions such as learning are impeeded.. The HANDLE® Approach will ensure that each individual is getting the benefits they need out of every step.

We frequently see results and improvements within the first few HANDLE® sessions, however, this approach isn't a magic wand. The approach encourages daily activities and regular follow-ups to ensure that the individual is getting the benefits of each neurodevelopmental activity. To get the most out of their program, the individual (alone or with the assistance of another if needed) must  follow their personalized plan and maintain a level of consistency. We have seen this approach benefit countless individuals and through dedication and consistency, lasting change can be made.

The program's cost varies depending on the patient's needs and extent of treatment. During the free, 30-minute consultation, we will go over what the program looks like and how the fees ensure that you're getting the most from Parzival Therapies. Our goal is to help each individual reach their full potential.  We pride ourselves in providing exceptional assistance at a reasonable price.

This is an extremely valid concern. Many individuals suffer from perplexing behaviors, but never receive a diagnosis or didn't find out until they reached adulthood. Either way, this discovery can be challenging to our lifestyle and identity. If you are curious or concerned about some perplexing behaviors, we encourage you to schedule a free 30-minute consultation with us and we can guide you through the program and its benefits. With or without a "diagnosis", individuals can benefit from the HANDLE® approach and increase neurological functionality. There's no reason to feel shame or believe that these challenges cause inferiority, but instead, they are obstacles that can be maneuvered with the right guidance and support. Parzival Therapies is here to help you through every step of the way.
