Precision Autism & Neurodevelopment Program
A medically-led 12-week intensive integrating speech therapy, behavioral modification, Theta Chamber neurostate training, HBOT, RPA, and stem cell therapy.
Welcome
If you are raising a child on the autism spectrum, you already know the truth: the child is not “broken,” but the family is often exhausted—by fragmented care, inconsistent strategies, sleep disruption, anxiety loops, and the daily burden of “managing everything.”
Miami Stem Cell was built for families who want a different level of medicine: physician-led, coordinated, measurable, and fast. Our Precision Autism & Neurodevelopment Program integrates the most proven therapeutic pillars (speech therapy, behavioral modification, and psychotherapy) with advanced physiologic and regenerative medicine designed to optimize the internal environment that supports learning.
In this program, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) and Stem Cell Therapy are not “optional extras.” They are core components—deployed responsibly, monitored carefully, and synchronized with highintensity skills training.
We do not promise a cure. We promise disciplined medicine: clear targets, a defined schedule, serial assessment, and progress you can see.
Our Mission
Reduce barriers to learning. Strengthen regulation. Build communication. Stabilize behavior. Restore family calm.
The Miami Stem Cell Difference: Why Families Choose Us
Most families receive care in pieces: a school plan here, a therapist there, a pediatric visit weeks later, and no one responsible for the whole system.
Miami Stem Cell is different. We run this program the way high-performance medicine should be run—with one physician-led plan, one team, one calendar, and one measurable outcomes dashboard.
A Multidisciplinary Team Under One Roof
- Neurodevelopmental assessment team for baseline profiling and serial measurement
- Speech-language therapy focused on functional communication and social pragmatics
- Behavioral modification and psychotherapy led by Jordyn Dooley (Therapist), including parent coaching and skills generalization
- Occupational/sensory strategies coordinated with behavioral and speech goals
- Medical optimization of sleep, anxiety physiology, and comorbidities
- On-site advanced modalities: Theta Chamber, Hyperbaric Chamber, Regenerative Medicine Suite (RPA + Stem Cell Therapy)
The Concierge Advantage
Your child’s progress depends on consistency. Our care coordinator builds a weekly schedule that works, reduces friction, and ensures follow-through. For traveling families, we design a condensed intensive calendar and provide a structured handoff plan for continuation at home.
The Program at a Glance: 6 Pillars, One Integrated Plan
Our program is engineered to produce compounding gains: stabilize physiology, reduce distress, then intensify skill-building—while measuring outcomes.
| Pillar | Core Component | Purpose in the Program |
|---|---|---|
| Pillar 1 | Comprehensive Assessment | Baseline + serial re-testing to guide and document progress |
| Pillar 2 | Speech & Language Therapy | Pragmatics, functional language, AAC when indicated |
| Pillar 3 | Behavioral Modification & Psychotherapy | FBA, behavior plan, parent coaching, anxiety/rigidity support |
| Pillar 4 | Theta Chamber Neurostate Training | Regulation, sleep readiness, sensory tolerance |
| Pillar 5 | Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) | Oxygenation and neuroinflammation support within a measured protocol |
| Pillar 6 | Regenerative Medicine (RPA + Stem Cells) | Immunomodulation and regenerative signaling synchronized with therapy intensity |
Why Biology Matters: Neuroinflammation, Immune Balance, and Learning Readiness
Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition with diverse underlying biology. Many children have additional physiologic stressors—sleep disruption, gut discomfort, anxiety physiology, immune imbalance, oxidative stress, or metabolic strain—that can amplify symptoms and reduce learning readiness.
A growing scientific literature discusses immune dysregulation and inflammatory signaling differences in ASD subgroups (e.g., Robinson-Agramonte et al., 2022; Than et al., 2023; Tu et al., 2025). This does not mean one single cause—rather, it supports why a purely behavioral approach may be insufficient for some children.
Our Clinical Interpretation
Skills training works best when the nervous system is regulated and the body is comfortable.
Physiology can be a barrier—or a force multiplier.
We treat biology and behavior together, on the same calendar.
How Our Core Modalities Map Onto Biology + Function
| Challenge domain | Program response | How we measure function |
|---|---|---|
| Hyperarousal / poor sleep | Theta Chamber + behavioral sleep plan + medical optimization | Sleep logs, morning function, meltdown frequency |
| Communication frustration | Speech therapy + AAC (if indicated) + behavior plan | Functional requests, pragmatics goals, parent/teacher reports |
| Rigidity / anxiety loops | Psychotherapy tools + exposure planning + predictable routines | Transition success rates, anxiety scales when relevant |
| Inflammation/immune stress (subgroup-dependent) | HBOT + RPA + stem cell therapy (core biologic pillar) + monitoring | Function scales (ABC/SRS-2), energy, tolerance measures |
Pillar 1: Comprehensive Neurodevelopmental Assessment (Baseline + Serial)
Our assessment is designed to answer one question: what is holding your child back right now—and what is the highest-leverage plan for the next 12 weeks?
Baseline (Week 1): The Full Picture
- Developmental and medical history (including sleep, GI, attention, anxiety, sensory profile)
- Neurodevelopmental profiling: strengths, bottlenecks, learning readiness
- Behavioral and psychological screening; family stress map
- Speech-language evaluation (expressive, receptive, pragmatics; AAC screening)
- OT/sensory evaluation (motor planning, sensory modulation, daily living skills)
- Medical review and targeted labs when clinically indicated
Serial Re-testing: Progress You Can Prove
We repeat focused measures at Weeks 6 and 12. This is how we avoid guesswork, justify intensity changes, and produce a handoff plan your child’s home team can follow.
| Timepoint | What we measure | Deliverable |
|---|---|---|
| Week 1 | Baseline scales + functional targets map | Written plan, weekly schedule, home toolkit |
| Week 6 | Focused re-testing + goal review | Midpoint report + plan refinement |
| Week 12 | End-of-intensive re-testing | Outcomes report + maintenance and school handoff plan |
Pillar 2: Speech & Language Therapy
Communication is a clinical priority. When a child can express needs and understand others, behavior improves and learning accelerates.
What We Target
- Functional language: requesting, refusing, describing, narrating
- Pragmatics: turn-taking, perspective-taking, repair strategies, conversational flexibility
- Receptive processing: following directions, comprehension under stress
- AAC integration when indicated to reduce frustration and increase independence
- Parent carryover: brief daily drills that create durable gains
Evidence Snapshot
Pragmatic language interventions show measurable benefits in ASD
Systematic review evidence supports pragmatic/social communication interventions across multiple programs and age ranges (Parsons et al., 2017). Recent pragmatic intervention trials continue to report improvements in language competencies (e.g., Pereira et al., 2025).
How It Fits Into The Intensive
Speech therapy is coordinated with behavioral goals and scheduled at high frequency during Weeks 3–10. We emphasize generalization: a skill is not “learned” until it appears at home and in daily routines.
Pillar 3: Behavioral Modification & Psychotherapy
Behavioral change is not achieved through advice—it is achieved through a structured plan, consistent implementation, and real-time feedback.
Jordyn Dooley leads the psychological and behavioral components, integrating functional behavior principles, parent coaching, and therapeutic tools that reduce distress and expand coping capacity.
The Miami Stem Cell Behavioral Modification Model
- Functional Behavior Assessment (FBA): define triggers, the function of behaviors, and replacement skills
- Behavior Support Plan: clear routines, reinforcement strategy, and escalation prevention
- Parent coaching: scripts, practice, and feedback so progress multiplies at home
- Psychotherapy tools (developmentally appropriate): anxiety reduction, flexibility training, emotional labeling, coping plans
- Generalization engineering: skills must show up outside the clinic—home, school, community
- Data tracking: we measure behaviors, not opinions
Evidence Snapshot
Structured behavioral interventions can improve outcomes for some children—response varies.
Cochrane’s review of Early Intensive Behavioral Intervention (EIBI) concludes evidence is limited but suggests potential benefit in some domains for some children (Reichow et al., 2018). Our program uses these principles and integrates medical optimization to reduce barriers to learning.
What families often notice
- Fewer meltdowns and faster recovery when escalation occurs
- Improved tolerance of transitions and demands
- Clearer communication patterns and reduced frustration
- A calmer home environment because caregivers have a consistent system
Pillar 4: Theta Chamber Neurostate Training
Many children on the spectrum live in chronic physiologic “high alert.” In that state, learning and social engagement are hard.
The Theta Chamber is our calm-training environment. Sessions are predictable, guided, and paired with regulation skills and parent cues so benefits transfer to home.
Targets
- Autonomic downshifting (reduced hyperarousal)
- Sleep readiness and bedtime stability
- Sensory tolerance and reduced overwhelm
- Improved attention window for therapy and learning
How It Is Delivered
- 2–4 sessions per week during the intensive phase
- Child-friendly comfort plan and gradual exposure if needed
- Weekly integration with behavioral goals (e.g., transitions, tolerance routines)
- Sleep diary tracking and weekly plan adjustments
Pillar 5: Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT) Deep Dive
HBOT is a core pillar of the Miami Stem Cell program. It is deployed within a structured protocol, monitored medically, and synchronized with intensive therapy.
HBOT involves breathing oxygen at increased atmospheric pressure, which increases dissolved oxygen in plasma and enhances tissue oxygen availability. In neurological contexts, HBOT has been studied as a neuromodulatory and recovery-support intervention, with proposed effects on inflammation signaling, mitochondrial function, and neuroplasticity (Bin-Alamer et al., 2024; Vlodavsky et al., 2006).
Why we include HBOT in autism care
We do not treat autism as one mechanism. We treat the child’s functional barriers. HBOT is included because many ASD presentations include physiologic stressors—sleep disruption, neuroimmune activation, oxidative stress, and limited regulation capacity—that can reduce learning readiness.
What the clinical studies show
The HBOT-ASD literature has been controversial. Some controlled trials report improvements in overall functioning and specific domains such as receptive language and sensory awareness (Rossignol et al., 2009). Other randomized trials have reported more limited effects (Granpeesheh et al., 2010). A 2025 systematic review and meta-analysis found statistically significant improvements across several outcomes while noting heterogeneity and variable study quality (Tu et al., 2025). Cochrane’s review has been more cautious regarding evidence strength (Xiong et al., 2016).
Our position is clinical and practical: we integrate HBOT within a measured program and continue only when the child’s function is trending positively with acceptable tolerance.
Typical Miami Stem Cell HBOT structure
- 20–40 sessions across 6–10 weeks, tailored to tolerance and clinical profile
- Pre-screening: ears/sinuses, pulmonary risk history, seizure history, anxiety/claustrophobia risk
- Comfort plan: gradual exposure, behavioral support, and child-centered scheduling
- Session-by-session monitoring for barotrauma and adverse effects; clear stop rules
What families may notice when HBOT is helping
- Improved sleep onset or fewer awakenings
- Better morning functioning and tolerance of demands
- Lower baseline irritability and faster recovery after frustration
- Improved attention window during speech and behavioral sessions
Pillar 6: Regenerative Protein Arrays (RPA) + Stem Cell Therapy Deep Dive
Regenerative medicine is a core pillar at Miami Stem Cell. We include it because a growing research literature describes immune and inflammatory signatures in ASD subgroups and because regenerative approaches may modulate signaling pathways relevant to neurodevelopmental function (Robinson-Agramonte et al., 2022; Than et al., 2023; Nabetani et al., 2023).
In our program, regenerative medicine is not used in isolation. It is synchronized with intensive speech and behavioral work—because biology creates readiness, but skill-building creates function.
RPA: precision signaling support
Regenerative Protein Arrays (RPA) are designed to support physiologic signaling pathways involved in recovery, inflammation modulation, and tissue resilience. In autism care, our use is goal-driven: reduce internal stress load and support regulation so therapy can land.
- Targets: resilience signaling, inflammation modulation, recovery biology
- Used in parallel with behavior and speech targets (sleep, regulation, attention window)
- Monitored through functional outcomes and physician oversight
Stem cell therapy: research-informed clinical rationale
Stem cell approaches in ASD have been studied primarily for safety and early efficacy signals. A systematic review and meta-analysis reported that stem cell therapy in children with ASD “might be safe and effective,” while emphasizing limitations in study size and protocol standardization (Qu et al., 2022). Reviews discuss a mechanistic rationale for cell therapies in ASD, including neuroinflammation and immune pathways (Nabetani et al., 2023). A Phase II randomized trial of cord blood infusion provides additional data, including subgroup findings (Dawson et al., 2020).
Miami Stem Cell uses a safety-first approach: patient selection, monitoring, and explicit informed consent. We do not promise outcomes, and we integrate this pillar with intensive therapy for functional gains.
How we deliver regenerative care responsibly
- Medical screening and individualized planning by the physician
- Clear informed consent: benefits are not guaranteed; evidence is evolving
- Monitoring and adverse event reporting pathways
- Scheduling aligned with high-intensity therapy blocks to support learning readiness
