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.
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.
Fill out our form now to get started. A team member from a Brain Balance Center near you will reach out to personally discuss your child’s challenges and schedule your child’s assessment.
When kids struggle with focus, behavior or sensory processing, it can be linked to weak connections across different regions in the brain. The good news is, we know that the brain can change in a way that may lead to improvements for your child or teen. The Brain Balance program exercises and activities are uniquely designed to help strengthen and build new connections by using a combination of physical, sensory, and cognitive activities. These new, efficient, and effective connections in the brain lead to improvements in our ability to complete cognitive tasks and in our executive functioning:
When these skills and functions improve, a child may feel improved confidence and be better equipped to engage and thrive in the world around them.
The Brain Balance program was recently part of a research study conducted by Harvard University’s McLean Hospital. The research study focused on the impact of aspects of the Brain Balance program, completed at home, on Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).We are incredibly excited to share the preliminary findings of this ongoing research.

The struggles they experienced in the past may be familiar to you.
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. Friends and family have commented that he has “come out of his shell” more. He still struggles with math but has shown more patience and perseverance during homework. – Jennifer H., 10 year old son diagnosed with Aspergers/Autism
“My son and I were both having a bad day and I was once again late to pick him up from school and get to Brain Balance. He started to harp on me for being late and I right back at him with my excuses. I told him in a serious tone, that I had a bad day and could not help but pick him up late. He too, told of his bad day. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence, he said “I guess we both had a very bad day.” We rode the rest of the way in silence, keep in mind he was sitting in the back where he always sits whenever we drive anywhere. After his lesson finished, he sat in the front seat and we talked, joked, and laughed the 30 minutes it took to get home. As we pulled into our street, I realized that I was no longer in a bad mood – I was happy and more importantly – so was he! I thanked him for making such a “crappy day, turn into a great day.” 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
“I loved Brain Balance mainly because it actually helped unlike many other programs I have been through. The best part of Brain Balance was working with my school friend because he is my opposite and my best friend. I got to see not only my improvement but his also and we both have changed for the better. Also being able to work with him shows me who he really is and how he behaves when his and my “disadvantages” are exploited. I got to see how closely we depend on each other when challenged. He and I both went into this program thinking it would be like every other programs we went through, expensive and useless. However Brain Balance has helped both of us to improve socially and academically whether or not he can see it I can see change in both of us. 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. He is now much more attentive when he needs to be and the same with me. Finally we realized that we both depend on each other and when we work together and encourage each other we can do a lot more. We both think that we are better by ourselves but in reality it has been shown the opposite of that. We made Brain Balance the best experience we could make it for each other and we had fun doing it. Brain Balance is by far the most helpful program that I have been through and while they may seem to do some interesting things they all helped us both.” – Ethan W., 15 year old boy who wrote about his own Brain Balance experience.
