Our Process: What to Expect at Palmier TMS
Your child’s journey to a brighter future starts with a conversation—and continues with a personalized, science-backed approach.
At Palmier TMS, we know that starting something new can feel overwhelming. That’s why we’ve designed a simple, supportive process that puts you in control—while giving our team the data we need to tailor a plan that truly fits your child’s neurological profile. Whether you're just beginning to explore TMS or are ready to schedule a consultation, this page walks you through exactly what to expect.
🧠 Step 1: Schedule a Phone Consultation
Start by reaching out—no pressure, just answers. During this initial phone consultation, our care team will:
- Answer any questions about TMS for autism
- Explain the science behind our approach
- Help determine if an in-person evaluation makes sense for your situation
“We’re happy to speak with you now or at a scheduled time—whatever works best for your family.”
🧑⚕️ Step 2: In-Person Clinical Assessment
Your first visit to Palmier TMS begins with a comprehensive intake session. During this time, we:
- Review your child’s medical history and developmental background
- Discuss past therapies and current challenges
- Explain how TMS may fit into a broader care plan
This step helps us understand your child as a whole person—not just a diagnosis—and lays the groundwork for personalized care.
📊 Step 3: Brain Mapping with qEEG
One of the most advanced tools we use is a quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG)—a non-invasive brain scan that measures electrical activity in the brain.
- Safe, painless, and takes about 20–30 minutes
- Identifies imbalances or irregularities in brainwave activity
- Helps pinpoint areas contributing to symptoms like communication difficulties, repetitive behavior, or sensory issues
This data guides everything that comes next.
“Think of the qEEG as a personalized brain map—it allows us to target treatment with incredible precision.”
📝 Step 4: Personalized TMS Treatment Plan
Once we’ve reviewed your child’s qEEG, our team develops a customized treatment protocol designed around their neurological needs. This includes:
- Targeted brain regions for TMS stimulation
- Recommended frequency and duration of sessions
- Integration with other therapies (e.g., OT, speech, ABA)
We’ll walk you through every element of the plan, explain expected outcomes, and answer any questions before we begin.
🔄 Step 5: Begin TMS Treatment Sessions
Your child will attend regular TMS sessions in a calm, supportive environment. Each session:
- Lasts about 30 minutes
- Is supervised by trained staff
- Involves gentle tapping or pulsing sensations on the scalp (no pain, no sedation)
We monitor progress closely and adjust the protocol as needed to ensure ongoing effectiveness.
“Families often begin noticing changes after the first few weeks—better sleep, improved focus, and calmer moods.”
🔗 Step 6: Integrative Wellness and Ongoing Support
We believe TMS works best as part of a whole-child care model. That’s why we coordinate with other providers and help align the treatment plan with therapies your child may already be receiving.
Whether it’s ABA, speech, OT, or educational supports, we ensure that everyone is working toward the same goals—your child’s growth, regulation, and joy.
