Brain Balance is the leading drug-free training program designed to help kids improve focus, behavior, social skills, anxiety, and academic performance.
The program goes above and beyond the more traditional, mainstream approaches you may have tried before to help your child get to the root of their challenges.
Harvard University’s McLean Hospital completed a study which demonstrated that the Brain Balance Program is as effective as stimulant medication in alleviating ADHD symptoms among children. Cambridge Brain Sciences also collaborated with Brain Balance on a study the results of which show that children who completed three months of the Brain Balance Program displayed significant improvements in cognition, particularly in areas of memory, reasoning, verbal ability, and concentration.

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.
At Brain Balance Center of Wichita we understand the pain and frustration of watching your child struggle with learning or behavioral issues. Here, and at our centers around the country, we have helped thousands of kids overcome their challenges. Our groundbreaking program provides lasting results because we don’t simply work with a child’s strengths or compensate for a weakness, we tackle the root cause of the issue.

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.
“Not only did Eli get the proper help he needed, but our entire family has been blessed and changed for the better.”
“Before Brain Balance, Eli had many struggles with his temper, emotions, behavior, and focus. I feel like the list could go on. He had extreme highs and lows all in a matter of minutes. He had terrible meltdowns if the smallest thing didn’t go his way. He was very easily frustrated if he couldn’t do something the way he wanted to or if his normal routine changed.
A few months into the program, Eli started to show a lot of change. Morning and bedtime routine was no longer a constant battle every day. Holding a pencil and writing his name, dressing himself started to become an easy task for him. He was able to take direction and follow through with simple requests. Suddenly, we started to see that he was able to sit and play happily and finally had the motor skills to hold the Legos and build his masterpieces with no screaming or tantrums. Things like going out to dinner as a family became more enjoyable without him running around or crying after 10 minutes. Overall, he is just a happier 5 year old. I don’t know what we would have done without the help and support of Brain Balance. The entire team has been a savior to our family. The past 6 months truly took time, commitment, and trust, but it was so worth it and so glad we persevered and didn’t give up when things were difficult.”
-Amanda Angulo, Brain Balance Parent
Hear from Camden's Parents!
“Aran became more comfortable with himself resulting in less frustrations and more freedom of being the amazing kid he is.”
Before Brain Balance, we were asked to leave 2 preschools, no defined reasons, only that Aran would get distracted easily, he would be really stubborn and shut down when frustrated. At home we would notice that he indeed would shut down and would take a long time for him to snap out of it. There was no way to reason with him. He would also have a hard time using his words and expressing his feelings.
After completing Brain Balance, Aran is now capable of expressing how he is feeling and is able to have a dialog. We are now able to reason with him as well and he can use his words with his friends. He is capable of getting out of his frustration easily. He can share mostly without hesitation or problem. If I say we cannot do something because it’s late or because he didn’t listen, he is capable of understanding why and not throw a tantrum and throw his toys on the floor.
Brain Balance helped Aran become comfortable with himself resulting in less frustrations and more freedom of being the amazing kid he is. As a mom, it helped me be able to do more activities with him without fearing the shutdown and tantrums.
Brain Balance is a commitment but it’s for the best interest of the kids. So don’t doubt and trust the journey. It helps kids obtain the tools they are missing and that we, parents, can’t provide. All the stress, suffer, time is rewarded the moment you see the little changes happen, and these little changes become not so little.”
– Marta Oller Petit, Brain Balance Parent

Amy Downing was determined to bring the Brain Balance Program® to Wichita after seeing her autistic son make tremendous improvements behaviorally and socially through his enrollment at Brain Balance of Kansas City. Her passion is to bring hope and healing to parents of struggling children through the groundbreaking approach that makes up the Brain Balance Program.
Amy received her Bachelor of Business Administration from the University of Oklahoma and has over 20 years of experience working in Business and Customer Service for several large companies in Wichita, KS and Oklahoma City, OK areas. In addition to one autistic
child, Amy has five other children, three of whom have academic and behavioral challenges. Those children have experienced great improvements after participating in the Brain Balance program at the Wichita center.
Carlee joined the Brain Balance Wichita team in 2017 shortly after the center first opened where she started as a coach and assessor. Across the next several years, as she witnessed the transformation experienced by the children in the program, she deepened her commitment to the team. She now serves as the Program Director, a role that allows her not only the ability to help children with diverse needs but to also support their families, too. Carlee earned her Master of Science in Family Therapy degree from Friends University. She also received her B.S. in Psychology and Human Services from Friends University, along with a minor in Religion. Carlee’s previous work experience includes her role as a therapist in a private practice setting, a church counseling center, and a residential treatment facility for adolescent girls. She also taught parenting classes for a local pregnancy crisis center. While Carlee was completing her certification in play therapy at the KC Play Therapy Institute, she also enjoyed leading therapeutic playgroups at preschools and working with mothers on attachment-based play therapy activities in order to help facilitate secure attachment relationships. Out of all the work Carlee has been involved in, getting to watch the students work hard to achieve their goals while they are enrolled in the Brain Balance program, has been the most rewarding!
