"5 stars – Life-Changing Investment at Brain Balance Plainfield. I can’t say enough good things about Brain Balance in Plainfield, IN. Our 12-year-old son, Levi, completed 3 months in-center and 3 months at-home (6 total), and the transformation is nothing short of miraculous. Before Brain Balance, something always felt “off.” Levi struggled to tie shoes, finish simple tasks, and stubbed his toe daily. Academics were a battle; his memory was so poor it took years to learn multiplication facts. He’d say random, nonsensical things in conversation, act immaturely, and fidget constantly. We were frustrated with schools, tutors, and even homeschooling—something was still missing. Then I read Disconnected Kids on a podcast recommendation and felt hope for the first time. Their assessment was eye-opening (and hard to hear): Levi was developmentally closer to a 5½-year-old, with all 8 primitive reflexes retained, extremely low body awareness, and poor visual processing. But they gave us a clear path forward. The Program & Results, we committed fully: diet overhaul, minimal screens (1 hr TV weekdays, a bit more weekends), and consistent exercises. Changes started within the first month—better sibling interactions, trying new sports, enjoying walks, doing chores with skill, and more patience. We hit a small regression mid-program but pushed through. Today (6 months later):• Developmentally ~11 years old (huge leap!)• 5 of 8 reflexes fully integrated; some areas >95% growth• Understands and tells jokes• Picked up guitar 2 months in—now plays complex songs mostly by ear, wowing everyone• Folds laundry neatly, learns math concepts in one day instead of years• Rarely fidgets or stubs toes• Memory, focus, and confidence soaring! It’s like the fog lifted. Levi is happier, more capable, and we’re seeing new wins daily. Yes, it’s an investment—but worth every penny. We only did 6 months (they recommend 8+), yet the growth is staggering. We can’t wait to return when finances allow. If your child feels “stuck,” trust the process. Brain Balance gave us our son back—and a whole new life. ❤️~Ashley, mom"

"We reached out to Brain Balance for help with our then 6yr old to help with some behaviors she was experiencing despite all our efforts. Brain balance transformed our daughter to a happier, healthier, more regulated child. Instead of long, drawn out tantrums, behaviors, and episodes, she’s now able to better communicate her needs and able to respond quicker to what she’s needing, what was once an hour long episode is now minutes. We are forever thankful to Brain Balance, and the people and help it brought to our child & our whole family! ~ Lauren, mom"

"My daughter and our family had a fantastic experience with Brain Balance of Plainfield,Indiana. My daughter had some behavioral, learning retention, and focus opportunities. We put her through tutoring sessions and testing scores actually got worse instead of better. As a parent, I’m sure you could recognize the helpless feeling. My sister-in-law saw a commercial for Brain Balance. Once we completed our assessment, we were given a deep-dive into the opportunities overall that they planned on working with my daughter on. The TRANSFORMATION we saw in her over the next 8 months is incredible. So much so that, at the beginning of the journey, we were considering an IEP. On the same week that she was set to complete Brain Balance, we had a meeting with her principle, teachers, resource teacher, and school psychologist who all confirmed after their testing that she would NOT be a candidate for an IEP because she was performing at or slightly above those kids in her same age group. At the beginning she was significantly below that base line. I cannot begin to tell you the confidence she has now. She’s a leader amongst her friends, knows how to advocate for herself, and just overall communicates well with us. ~ Elizabeth, mom"

"We came to Brain Balance because Ethan struggled with focus, outbursts, agility, coordination, and transitioning from one situation to the next. At the beginning of this journey, results were few and far between and it was hard to see the light at the end of the tunnel. However, as we continued on, and began to see significant changes more and more frequently, it became evident that the program was definitely impacting our child and he was truly benefitting from the curriculum. Our family’s life changed as we have less conflict, fighting, overall more functional, and peaceful atmosphere."
Ethan, Age 11
"We brought our six-year-old daughter, Karynne, to Brain Balance because she had difficulty with paying attention, reading comprehension, academic development, emotional regulation, difficulty in social conventions. We all grew closer through the process and Brain Balance became a way of life for all of us. Was the cost worth the benefit? It was most definitely worth it! Brain balance has been life-changing. We couldn't have asked for a more rewarding experience to help our daughter."
Karynne, Age 6
"We were at our wits end with what to do about Webber at the beginning of 1st grade. He was constantly getting in trouble at school and his relationships there and at home were struggling. We didn't know what to do. Brain Balance was recommended to us years ago, but we didn't see the real need to do anything drastic until Webber aged and the problems just got worse."
Webber, Age 7
"My daughter struggled with anxiety, behavioral issues, academic issues directly related to her inability to focus and retain information. She started with tutoring and actually watched her progress go backward. We felt helpless and unsure what else we can do. I heard about Brain Balance from my sister-in-law and call to schedule Presley for an assessment. After going over Presley's results, we signed her up and her improvement has been amazing! In 8 months, her progress reports from her teachers have been amazing and her report cards reflect as such. We were exploring IEP options at the beginning of this journey, however, the school psychologist confirmed at the end of our journey with Brain Balance that one wasn't needed and that she scored at average or high average in comparison to the children her age. This wasn't the case at the beginning of our 8-month journey, and I couldn't be prouder of our daughter or more grateful for the Brain Balance crew! ~Elizabeth, mom"
Presley, Age 9
"My husband and I were skeptical of the Brain Balance program upon initially hearing of it. However, we were desperate to find a way to help our child progress with his academic and social skills. We took a leap of faith and could not be happier with the outcome. If you are struggling to find your child help, do not hesitate. Brain Balance has changed our son's life for the better! ~Leslie, mom"
