Brain Balance Wilmington
Brain Balance Has a Non-Medical Approach to Help Your Child
Brain Balance is the leading drug-free program designed to help kids improve focus, behavior, social skills, anxiety, and academic performance. Our comprehensive programming incorporates learnings from cognitive, behavioral and nutrition fields—an integrated approach that is literally redefining what’s possible.
Is something blocking your child’s social, behavioral or academic progress? Brain Balance picks up where conventional approaches leave off, going beyond the treatment of symptoms to address root causes. At Brain Balance, we’re not about coping with barriers. We’re about knocking them down, one small breakthrough at a time.
Research Shows Brain Balance is Effective
A Harvard study found that kids who participated in the Brain Balance Program saw a significant reduction in ADHD index scores, discernible changes in hyperactivity, enhanced cognitive attention, and reductions in oppositional behavior.
We are continually collaborating with world class researchers to show the efficacy of the program and reveal through data how the Brain Balance Program can help children, teens and adults improve.

Stories from Brain Balance Center of Wilmington
"We originally placed our son into the 12 week summer program because he was struggling with math, reading comprehension, and reading retention. We were pleasantly surprised by his improvement in other areas (ones we knew he needed improvement in, but not considered by us a “high priority”), like greatly improved balance – used to hate his bike, scooter, and skateboard, but now uses all 3 well. His gym teacher has noticed improved coordination, more desire to participate, and is now one of the faster runners in class. He even said he wants to be a gym teacher when he grows up – big deal coming from someone who used to LOATHE gym! He no longer complains of daily stomach issues and has had a reduction in daily headaches."
Jennifer H., 10 year old son diagnosed with Aspergers/Autism
"[Before Brain Balance] we haven’t had a real exchange of conversation EVER! I am usually telling him to sit up straight or comb his hair or finish his homework. We never talk – but today we did – and it was wonderful!"
Kelly S., 15 year old son who struggled with Social Interactions, anxiety and Aspergers
"Doing this program has showed me that our so called “disadvantages” are easily seen as faults but Brain Balance in a way does not get rid of them as much as it rounds them out. We have learned how to use our ADHD to help us focus on what needs to be focused on and tune out the outside noise."
Ethan W., Age 15

Making A Difference In The Delaware Valley
Our Center Director at The Brain Balance Center of Wilmington, Greta Fowler, understands the pain of watching her child fall behind. Her son had learning difficulties, including difficulty with numbers, colors, and letters. As a teacher, Fowler struggled because she knew she had to do something, but she didn’t know what she could do. Watching her son fall behind broke her heart; so in effort to learn how to help her son, Greta read Dr. Melillo’s Disconnected Kids. Dr. Melillo’s book showed Greta that there was a way to help her son, and she decided to take a leap of faith and enroll her son in the Brain Balance program. The experience changed their lives. Not only did Greta see improvement in her son, but she was inspired to share the Brain Balance program with others in the Delaware Valley. Our program at The Brain Balance Center of Wilmington is driven by the hope of making a difference in the lives of children and their families, just like it made a difference for Greta and her family.

Brain Balance does not require that a child has a medical diagnosis, nor do we clinically diagnose medical conditions. Our focus is on understanding the struggles these children experience and helping them develop and strengthen the connections to help reduce those struggles.
For those who do have a diagnosis,1 research has shown that the unique challenges your child is facing can be linked to weak connections across different regions of the brain.
Get a deeper view into why your child struggles
The Brain Balance assessment provides you with a deeper view of your child’s struggles. During the assessment, your child’s sensory, motor and cognitive development are evaluated. This assessment helps identify areas of development that need strengthening. The reasons why a child may excel in some areas but has trouble in others will become clearer.
