More About Brain Balance of Wakefield
Our Whole Brain Approach
Did you know the brain can change at any age? Change in the brain can refer to new pathways being formed or connections becoming stronger and more efficient. New pathways are formed through sensory stimulation, life experiences and new information. These connections and pathways are important because they communicate with all regions of the brain, allowing us to successfully perform daily cognitive and physical tasks, and facilitating our executive functioning.
When individuals struggle with focus, behavior, or sensory processing, it can be linked to weak connections across different regions in the brain. But the good news is, we know that the brain can change.
The Brain Balance program is designed to strengthen and build brain connectivity with a unique combination of physical, sensory, and cognitive activities. These new, efficient, and effective connections in the brain help improve in the following areas:
- Cognitive Tasks
- Executive Functioning
- Focus
- Memory
- Learning
- Comprehension
- Reasoning
- Behaviors & EmotionsOrganization
- Self-motivation
- Problem Solving
By building stronger brain connections, you can help yourself or your child get to the root of their challenges and build a stronger foundation for success.
A Personalized Program to Meet Your Needs
At Brain Balance, we believe it is critical to identify the root cause of challenges to create an action plan for change. Our program begins with a 1-to-2-hour in-depth, comprehensive assessment. We use what we learn in the comprehensive assessment to set up your individualized program. By doing this for each unique person, individually, we create a customized program that addresses any deficits in functions or skills you may have.
The frequency and duration of these tasks, activities, and exercises are tailored based on the individual’s needs.
What to Expect During the Assessment
The assessment includes sensory, physical, and cognitive activities that identify areas of development that need strengthening. These critical areas of development are at the root of our ability to pay attention, learn, engage, interact, and manage stress, behavior, and anxiety.
From the results of the assessment, our team will help create a plan focused on building the brain connections needed to help create improvements for the individual.

Brain Balance Boston Has A Plan For Kids Who Struggle
For parents, one of the hardest experiences is seeing your child struggle with academic, social, or behavioral issues. It can often feel overwhelming when you know that your child is struggling, especially when it seems as though resources for help are limited. We want you to know that help is out there and that your family doesn’t have to work through these issues alone. Brain Balance Achievement Center of Wakefield specializes in helping children overcome the obstacles they may be facing both at home and in the classroom.
At Brain Balance Achievement Centers, we’ve helped thousands of children overcome the challenges associated with common childhood disorders such as Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Asperger Syndrome, behavioral issues, learning disabilities like dyslexia or dyscalculia, processing disorders such as Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), and many other types of learning and development issues that impact children. At Brain Balance Achievement Center of Wakefield, we use a non-medical and drug-free approach to help your child overcome their daily challenges with the Brain Balance program.
A Non-Medical, Drug-Free, Whole-Child Approach
We know that not every child who struggles with a learning or developmental issue is the same. That’s why the program at Brain Balance Center of Wakefield begins with an in-depth assessment of your child. This allows us to develop a personalized program to meet your child’s specific needs. Next, we have in-center training sessions that cover academic skills and sensory-motor training. These sessions are three times a week for one hour each. The number of sessions that each child needs will depend on their assessment results. Typically, the program is completed in 3-6 months; however, some children need more time in order to achieve their goals. The Brain Balance program also includes in-home activities that include exercises and/or a nutrition guide that will help create a positive, healthy home environment.
If your child is struggling with any type of learning, behavioral, or social issue, it’s important to get them the help they need. The Brain Balance Center Wakefield, MA can help you and your child manage or overcome the struggles they are facing by addressing the root issue and not the symptoms.
