For Children
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.
For Adults
Whether you are looking to enhance your attention, memory, and problem solving, or want to improve your stress and mood management, Brain Balance can help. The program is designed to strengthen brain connectivity using a unique combination of physical, sensory, and cognitive activities. We’ll ship you everything you need to complete your program from the comfort of your home.
"Thank you Brain Balance for the support during my 12 week journey of recovery.

I felt as if the leadership and staff were rooting for me from day one! THANK YOU ALL!"

"James is a much happier child. He doesn’t become nearly as frustrated and can voice his opinions more clearly, which in turn has alleviated much of the stress on all of us."
