FAQs: Brain Balance of Des Moines & ADHD

What is ADHD?

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) is a developmental disorder caused by the immature development of certain regions of the brain. This can lead to a wide range of challenges, including difficulties with attention, hyperactivity, impulsivity, behavior, learning, social interactions, emotional regulation, executive functions, and self-confidence.

Are there different types of ADHD?

There are three primary types of ADHD:

Inattentive Type: Children with this type of ADHD struggle to focus on tasks and activities, often appearing distracted.
Hyperactive-Impulsive Type: Children with this type of ADHD have a constant need to be active and tend to act without thinking.
Combined Type: This type of ADHD involves challenges with inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity.

How does Brain Balance help with ADHD?

Brain Balance uses a multimodal, integrative approach to help optimize brain development without the use of medication. Our program strengthens the connections in the brain through specialized sensory stimulation and targeted exercises for both the brain and body. Our program builds stronger, faster connections in the brain, enabling it to pay attention longer, block out distractions, and regulate mood and emotions more effectively.

My child has been diagnosed with ADHD for years, are they too old to benefit from the Brain Balance Program?

No. Science shows that the brain can change at any age. Brain Balance helps kids as starting at 4 years old into young adulthood.

What makes Brain Balance different from traditional ADHD treatments?

Traditional treatments often focus on improving behavior through strategies like building self-awareness or managing symptoms with medication. At Brain Balance, we recognize that these methods may not always be enough. Our approach targets the underlying developmental immaturity in the brain to create lasting improvements.

What results should I expect?

While results vary, our published research shows parents, teachers, and clinicians report improvements in attention, reduced hyperactivity and impulsivity, and better emotional regulation after 3 months of the Brain Balance Program. Review the published research.
