Mendability operates in the wellness and fitness services sector and is based in Okotoks, Alberta. It develops and delivers Sensory Enrichment Therapy through telehealth for children with autism and related developmental disorders. The therapy uses non-pharmaceutical sensory exercises administered by parents or therapists, with a focus on activating brain plasticity to support neurogenesis. The approach is described as cost-effective and clinically validated, and a six-month clinical evaluation found that 42% of children in the enrichment group showed meaningful improvements in behaviors such as relating to people and responding to sights and sounds, compared with 7% in standard care; cognitive-function scores rose for the enrichment group and declined in the standard care group. The therapy is aimed at children with developmental delays and autism, with caregivers or clinicians implementing the exercises via a telehealth model. Mendability operates as a small team. In December 2020, the company launched The Scented Hug, a concept introduced to apply sensory enrichment in a non-intrusive way.
