Our model

The Interpersonal Whole-Brain Model of Care™ (IWBMC™) is built upon the scientific principle of neuroplasticity – that the brain can change no matter an individual’s age, diagnosis, or level of functioning.

The trademarked and internationally recognized IWBMC™ begins with comprehensive neurodevelopmental assessments to guide multifocal individualized treatment and educational plans that lead to brain growth, healing, and wholeness. This treatment plan is delivered through AHAVA, our software as a service (SaaS) digital platform. Training and certification in the IWBMC are available through our online training platform.

AHAVA addresses neurodevelopmental challenges such as:

  • Developmental delays
  • Autism spectrum disorders
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Stroke
  • Genetic syndromes
  • Emotional-behavioral-relational challenges

AHAVA’s Origin Story

Too many people today struggle to help individuals with brain-based challenges. We understand. Our founder, Amy O’Dell, was once a frustrated parent. She developed our revolutionary methodology after experts painted a hopeless future for her son, Jacob.

Since that time 30 years ago, Amy founded Jacob’s Ladder School, serving over 4,000 individuals across five continents and proving the impossible IS possible. 

Now it’s time for us to help you.
