Welcome to Brain Balance Centers of Atlanta
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 Welcome to Brain Balance Centers of Atlanta
"Our 12-year-old son was diagnosed with high functioning autism. We had been to the Marcus Institute, the Buice Center, speech therapy, and years of private tutoring. After attending Brain Balance he is much calmer and now plays with other kids. We have also seen a big improvement in oral communication."
"Our family has had a lot of stress because of our son’s defiant attitude and emotional outbursts which had become uncontrollable the past few years. Because of your program and the recommended nutritional changes, he is now happier, more responsible, more loving, and his school work, especially reading has greatly improved in just a month’s time. Now, he is much more pleasant to others and more confident in himself."
"As a parent and educator: My son was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder and had academic delays in Math Reasoning, Written Expression, and Reading Comprehension. After attending three months of the program, my son’s academics increased significantly and I attribute this success solely to Brain Balance! Our home life is filled with joy, because my son is not struggling to get his homework completed each evening!"

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. From the results, we create a plan that helps your child overcome their struggles.
