We Help Kids Who Struggle With Oppositional Defiant Disorder

Help with Oppositional Defiant Disorder in Louisville

The Brain Balance Program of Louisville

As a parent, we know it can be difficult to watch your child struggle. That’s why the Brain Balance Center of Louisville is dedicated to helping children in the Louisville area meet their social, behavioral, and academic goals. The Brain Balance Program has helped thousands of children throughout the country and in Louisville overcome their challenges through our whole-child approach.

When children are first enrolled in The Brain Balance Program, our center provides them with a personalized assessment. This assessment helps us to identify each child’s unique strengths and challenges as well as helps us to develop a personalized plan that will help them overcome their struggles. In each child’s individualized plan, we include academic activities, sensory-motor training, and dietary guidelines, which we believe are valuable in developing an integrated, whole-child approach to Oppositional Defiant Disorder and other behavioral challenges.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder and The Brain Balance Program

As a behavioral disorder, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, or ODD, causes children to have difficulty interacting with individuals they know well, such as parents and teachers. With symptoms most often arising before the age of 8, children with ODD tend to:

  • Have frequent arguments with adults
  • Refuse to comply with rules
  • Lose their temper
  • Feel resentful or vindictive
  • Easily or purposely annoy others
  • Blame others for their own misbehavior

Since these behaviors occur frequently and are uncommon among other children in the same age group, they can cause significant issues at school, at home, or around other children. Our drug-free, integrated approach to ODD support brings parents and their children together in order to achieve a common goal - improving a child’s processing and social ability.

The Brain Balance Center of Louisville works with your child to improve behaviors. We create a personalized plan with your child in mind so that we can find the approach that works best for them. With the Brain Balance Program, most children have in-center sessions at least 3 times per week along with at-home activities; however, depending on your child’s assessment results, frequency and duration of both the in-center sessions and at-home activities may change. If your child is struggling with Oppositional Defiant Disorder, our center can help.

“We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brain Balance and our experience with them so far. My son A. Benefit so much from their program and we have seen great improvement with his ADHD symptoms; his is more calm, more able to control his emotions, able to focus better and over all is doing better socially in class. Brain Balance’s holistic approach really makes all the difference. The support and wealth of resources they offer to help us keep up the work at home and follow the right diet really is so valuable. The entire staff is so kind and supportive to both parents and the children. Such a wonderful and empowering environment that teaches kids to understand how to building lasting healthy habits that supports them with their differences and struggles. Absolutely love BB and I am so happy we found them!”

“We enrolled our son in the program last school year and have been very happy with the results! I love how the program does not believe in medication and assesses the child holistically. The staff was very supportive in answering our questions and set all of us up for success! My son has made so much progress and is now better at focusing and we are now more knowledgeable about what makes him tick, so we can support him as well. I highly recommend brain balance. It is a big time commitment, but worth it when you see your child progressing forward and thriving!”

“I have two sons that attend, both to address symptoms regarding ADHD. Zachary has improved on his focus and attention dramatically and is able to express his emotions clearly, which was a struggle for him prior to his graduation from Brain Balance. I cannot wait to to see the improvement his brother Patrick makes on his focus and attention as he progresses through the program. They both are leading happier and confident lives as a result of this program! I am very grateful to the coaches and I love seeing the positive changes in my boys. Thank you Brain Balance!!!”

“Brain Balance changed our whole family’s lives. Our daughter was struggling in school and on several medications for several years. We were falling apart dealing with meltdowns and explosive behaviors over the smallest things. Getting through each day at school was a struggle. We had seen many specialists and doctors over the years and none of them even pretended to understand our situation the way that the people at BB really do understand. They were able to not only help us figure out what was going on, but they also gave us the proper guidance to fix things. And it worked! Our daughter is the same witty, charming character she’s always been but now she’s not struggling through every day. She’s happy! We’re all so grateful for what Brain Balance has done for our family. This program is not magic, it’s work... but it works!”

“When I was looking up brain balance, I was looking for something for my son. I don’t believe in medication and some people just don’t understand that. I wasn’t sure I was going to find what I was looking for here, but I certainly was surprised to find out that this would be the place where my sons life would be made better. In the first week, I have seen changes in my son: emotionally and behaviorally. I am so happy with the progress my son has made thus far.

The staff are all so friendly and caring. They honestly understand the concerns I had and had an answer and a solution as to “why” these things were happening. There was no doubt in my mind; I know that brain balance works!”

“I am so thankful for the Brain Balance team! Dr. G and Tayjha were wonderful resources who made themselves available whenever I had questions or concerns. The program helped my daughter not only with her learning needs, but I witnessed significant improvement in her behavior, coordination and confidence as she went through the program. Dr. G also provided insight and guidance as we navigated the public school learning disability identification process, which was a huge benefit to me. I am very grateful to have found a program that didn't rely on medication or quick fixes, but focused on the long-term health of the whole child - mind, body, spirit, nutrition and activities.”

“When our son began Brain Balance it was our last resort to helping our son. For years he had tutoring we sent him to summer school every year since 2nd grade, he was on medication for his ADHD for a couple years and nothing seemed to help him. He was struggling in school, he was behind on work constantly, poor test scores, and his teachers were fed up and he was not happy. Fast forward to a new school year and my son is doing so well. He is keeping up with his work, he talks about what he’s learning which he’s never done before. The best part is to get emails from his teachers saying he’s a joy to have in class. My son is a completely different kid in a very good way. He’s still the same sweet boy he’s always been but this change with school is truly amazing. We can’t thank Brain Balance enough.”

“This place changed my son! Everyone that knows him has mentioned these positive changes. He is more focused, less impulsive, and his grades have dramatically improved. We’re so grateful we found this program. For a bit we were overwhelmed and stressed out by our son’s behavior. Today, we are happily stress free and he has very minimal behavioral issues. We sincerely wish we had discovered this program earlier in his life, but thrilled we found this program at all. We have learned so much about our son’s brain and how it truly functions. We’re so happy that he’s on the right track with no need of medication. We highly recommend Brain Balance to everyone.”

“Brain Balance certainly helped our two girls. Before we went through the program our oldest who has adhd would be so hyperactive she was hurting herself at home. We knew she would not be able to concentrate well I school. Thanks to brain balance, she is doing very well in school, and even sits and does intricate projects on her own. Then entire staff was fantastic. Highly recommend for children in this situation.”

“Our experience with Brain Balance Redlands was exceptional. When we started in September our son was having trouble with friends and school. And was running out of class when he didn’t want to do something or got upset. We finished our program in March. Our son is not running out of class. He is more able to understand why he can’t do something’s and why. He is doing much better socially. We would recommend this program for others with ADHD and social problems. The staff was wonderful.”

“I was hesitant to have my son to take this program because we had spent money and time in so many other things and medications trying to help him and nothing seemed to work. I’m glad we decided to try it because it changed his life. Dan and his team are awesome in what they do and super patient with the kids. He was struggling with school grades and social cues, depression, anxiety, ADHD and dislexia, it was a lot! He has made a lot of progress and his self confidence and self esteem are up there so we’ll done guys! We appreciate all you did for him!”

“We are incredibly thankful for Brain Balance. We found Brain Balance after looking into therapies to help with ADHD. We weren’t really sure what to expect but felt like we had to give our son every opportunity to excel. We have been amazed at his progress. When we started the program, we were working with his school to be evaluated for an IEP and a 504 plan and by the end of the program his school said he no longer needed either! His confidence at school has sky rocketed and his teachers are thrilled with his growth and progress. The program takes time and commitment but it is so worth it! The staff is absolutely wonderful and they too want the best for your child!”

“Everyone is so nice and very kid friendly. My 14 year old daughter had a blast during the initial assessment and couldn't wait to go back. The director worked with us to find tuition assistance. This is the holistic approach I have been looking for to help my daughter with her ADHD as medications havent worked.”

“We came to Brain Balance because our son with ADHD and Sensory Processing issues struggled in all areas, at home, at school and in friendships. We had tried everything; occupational therapy, play therapy, counseling, positive parenting, medications, reward charts, apps for ADHD, nothing changed his behavior. Brain Balance has helped our 10 year old son with perspective taking, empathy, not just yelling no at everything and shutting down. He is doing better at school, at home and learning how to do better in friendships. He is able to regulate his impulsivity better and manage himself with tools he’s learned when he’s deregulated. Teachers noticed improvement with his ability to focus and stay on task. We have noticed he is happier, more loving towards us and empathetic toward others. I recommend the Brain Balance journey. It has helped our family become whole again.

“Brain Balance was a life changer for our son! Before program he couldn't finish a sentence before another thought interrupted it; he had trouble reading and with handwriting. The time and effort we spent with Brain Balance helped him achieve a 95th percentile on STAAR tests but more importantly we now have a son who can manage life and all it's challenges medication-free. There are no limits for him!”

“We LOVE Brain Balance and all that it has done for not only our son, but the impact it has had on our entire family! Does it cost money? Was/Is it hard financially sometimes? Absolutely! BUT, our son is not wearing a bandaid by taking medication and our entire family is learning new eating habits, triggers, coping mechanisms, and more than anything hope for a better future for our son! It takes commitment and recognizing there will still be good days and bad days. Celebrate the good times/days, identify differences or triggers for the bad, and keep going! There are endless resources in the program with recipes to help with eating habits, a community/family Facebook group that we can all share our experiences, struggles, successes, ask questions, etc. and so much more. I do not regret for one minute, the cost of the program, which we are doing a payment plan for (many options) and would like to say thank you to our amazing Henderson Brain Balance family!”

“Brain Balance was the best thing we ever did for our son Caleb! The staff was amazing at working with him and a game plan for his weekly sessions. They took time with his development mentally and physically as well as getting to know him personally. My husband and I saw a major improvement with Caleb's grades in school as well as his maturity. He also improved with his golf game as well as other sports activities. Our son enjoyed going to sessions weekly as much as we enjoyed seeing the progress in him. I would recommend Brain Balance as a parent of an ADHD child with success in the program.”

We are so thankful for Nate, April, Melissa and the entire team. We have seen so much improvement with our son and we are so blessed to have found Brain Balance.

“We enrolled our 5 year old daughter in brain balance after having issues with ADHD, sensory, and processing which this combination created a lot of unhappy moments and stress. She is ready to start Kindergarten this coming fall due to her progress in the program. Our family life at home is 1000% better as she is able to better understand the world around her at an appropriate age. Life in our household was very difficult prior to this program and we are beyond pleased with the results.”

“Brain Balance has been the best decision we could've made for our son. The progress that he has made and has continued to make has been amazing. His ADHD has been under control with all that he has learned from brain balance. School is easier, home life is easier, just all around easier. It is a bit pricey but hearing how good my son feels and him saying he's proud of himself is all worth it. All of the teachers there are awesome!! Thank you so much Reylene Coronado for the referral.”

“This company saved my family. Our daughter was 8 yrs old. Has ADHD and ODD. (Oppositional defiance disorder)
I was recommended by a friend who went through the program. It's time consuming, but you get what you put into it. I thought my days with her were never going to get better. Her counselor at the time suggested mental hospitalization. Brain Balance evaluated her and said "these are the symptoms she's having, this is why. This is what we can do to help her improve, if you work with our program, you WILL see results" a company GUARANTEEING results. They were right. I feel like I got my little girl back. I'm constantly recommending this company when I see fit. They are family to me.”

“My son had behavioral issues to include impulse control, focus and a lack of learning desire. I considered medication at one point because I was at a total loss. During the course of his BB sessions, I watched him go from the bottom of the behavioral chart at school to being student of the day. His desire for learning is incredible and I no longer worry about school calling me every day for behavioral issues. Brain Balance is worth every penny. If you are on the fence, take the leap. You won't be disappointed.”

“My son has struggled socially and in school for as long as we can remember. As we approached high school we knew something needed to be done to help him with his struggles. We had him tested in school and at the doctor and their resolution was medication. We tried he, he did not like how it made him feel and found that he was throwing away the pills. Honestly, I was not a believer, I do believe in medicine, and until the evaluation was done on my son, and I could see the deficiencies on paper, I was a skeptic. After seeing where my son needed work and allowing Brain Balance to fix those deficiencies, I am now a believer. This program has changed our lives, especially his. His has blossomed into a student striving for A’s, and athlete, musician, and a social butterfly. Don’t get me wrong, it’s not magic, it takes work, and home dedication with meals, exercises, and support, but it will work.... he proved that....”

“The team at Brain Balance of Palm Beach Gardens is exceptional! Not only do they always give time to make each child feel special, they were there for the parents and the family at large and the personal interest and care was deeply felt. Although it was a longer drive for us, my son was always eager to make the journey. We saw so many changes to his range and personality as he went through the program. I'm grateful we tried Brain Balance and thankful my son didn't just get labeled and given a medication. He was treated with love, respect, and supported in his needs the entire time! Thank you Mary and Morgan!”

“Brain Balance has been the most rewarding experience of my life. For years I had struggled with a severe attention deficit problem, along with a severe stutter/speech impediment. The 3 months I spent in this program has done more for me than any stimulant medication or speech therapy I’ve ever had. Every single tool I’ve learned here I have implemented into every aspect of my life. My life is BETTER because I went to brain balance.

I am no longer dependent on medication to improve my focus & anxiety - I’ve learned how to manage it on my own. I love myself more because of brain balance. Thank you Dr. G. 🙏🏻❤️”
