Empowering Professionals to Guide Families toward Growth and Resilience
The E.C.C Method
A Unique Professional Tool
The E.C.C. (Emotional Cognitive Coaching) method is an evidence-based approach designed to support parents of children with learning disabilities and ADHD. Unlike traditional guidance, the E.C.C. approach focuses on the parent’s internal world, self-awareness, and cognitive-emotional processes. It guides parents through a journey of understanding their own feelings while providing new cognitive insights that lead to more effective behavioral patterns.
This unique method was developed by Dr. Maly Danino, CEO of the Nitzan Association. It is rooted in sound theoretical principles, including psychoanalytical, cognitive, and behavioral theories, as well as the three-stage model developed by Dr. Clara E. Hill. The E.C.C. method has received significant recognition both in Israel and abroad for its ability to address parents’ particular needs and challenges. The foundational principles of the program are detailed in Dr. Danino’s book, “Coach Your Child to Success” (2011), which serves as the professional manual and has been translated into English, Arabic, Lithuanian, and Latvian.
