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 Suwanee

"Shortly after completing 3 months at the Brain Balance Luke began the 2009-2010 school year. Last year Luke was put on an IEP for Language Arts and Reading. This past Friday I had my first meeting with his teachers and support staff. All of the teachers agreed that Luke DOES NOT require any special services outlined in his IEP at this time! The information I was receiving in this meeting was very different from the meetings that I cried through last year! Luke is in a much better place right now because of the help of the Brain Balance Center in Suwanee, GA."

Luke

"Alex has improved in many ways. His large motor skills have improved greatly. He rides his scooter with ease and grace now- he would not get on it before. He goes outside to play voluntarily now when he would not have done that before."
