PAPER:
Facilitating Physiological Flexibility: Expanding Functional Availability Through Anxiety Reframe Technique (A.R.T.)
Â
This longitudinal case study examines changes in physiological flexibility and functional availability following an intensive A.R.T. intervention, with a 47 year old autistic woman. The paper considers how shifts in early autonomic organisation may influence access to movement, cognition, communication, engagement and choice, particularly where function has previously been constrained by persistent physiological patterns.Â

PAPER:
Bridging The Gap: Exploring the Impact of Holly Bridges’ A.R.T. on Autistic Inertia and ADHD Paralysis. An Evaluation of A. R. T. (Anxiety Reframe Technique)
Â
 This 15-week exploratory study examined outcomes across seven participants using measures of wellbeing, adaptive functioning, sleep and autonomic physiology. Changes were observed across multiple domains, including WHO-5 wellbeing, ABAS-3 adaptability, sleep duration, heart-rate variability and nocturnal autonomic measures. The findings provide preliminary data supporting further investigation of A.R.T. as an intervention targeting physiological flexibility.
