Brain Balance Cary
Brain Balance Has a Non-Medical Approach to Help Your Child
Brain Balance is the leading drug-free program designed to help kids improve focus, behavior, social skills, anxiety, and academic performance. Our comprehensive programming incorporates learnings from cognitive, behavioral and nutrition fields—an integrated approach that is literally redefining what’s possible.
Is something blocking your child’s social, behavioral or academic progress? Brain Balance picks up where conventional approaches leave off, going beyond the treatment of symptoms to address root causes. At Brain Balance, we’re not about coping with barriers. We’re about knocking them down, one small breakthrough at a time.
Research Shows Brain Balance is Effective
A Harvard study found that kids who participated in the Brain Balance Program saw a significant reduction in ADHD index scores, discernible changes in hyperactivity, enhanced cognitive attention, and reductions in oppositional behavior.
We are continually collaborating with world class researchers to show the efficacy of the program and reveal through data how the Brain Balance Program can help children, teens and adults improve.

Stories from Brain Balance Center of Cary
"If you are on the fence about Brain Balance for your child, I've got two words for you: Do. It. It has made a huge difference in our daughter's life. It won't be overnight and it won't solve every problem your child has, but it will make solid, foundational changes that will hold them in good stead for the rest of their lives."
Sadie
"Brain Balance specifically and dramatically improved Richard’s skills in reading comprehension, writing skills, auditory processing, and focus. He is also very comfortable interacting socially with instructors and peers. This is a huge accomplishment for him to be able to navigate the arena of college without help. His confidence level has been impacted in a very positive way."
Richard, Age 21
"Six months ago we were in a very dark place. The work you and your staff do has allowed me to have a new, treasured relationship with her that I never dreamed possible. The positive life changes have affected Autumn, Cameron, and me as a family in such an incredible way. Our home is so peaceful now."
Autumn
"Our struggles began with Grace being anxious at night making it hard for her to fall asleep. She needed to have several lights on in her room and ask questions over and over again about if we would be home all night. We tried so many different methods to help her sleep. We spoke to our pediatrician about it and did as he suggested and ended up seeing a child therapist."

Support Every Step of the Way
At Brain Balance Center of Cary, our program begins with an in-depth assessment of your child which we use to develop a personalized learning program. This program will help your child reach his or her goals. Our in-center sessions focus on strengthening motor and cognitive skills. Each session is one hour long and occurs three days a week. Since our programs are personalized to meet the individual needs and challenges of each child we work with, the time frame of each program varies. The number of sessions that your child will attend is determined by the results of your child’s assessment. Programs are generally completed in 36 to 72 sessions, although some children may need more time to achieve their goals. We believe that the support at home is vital for a successful outcome. Therefore, the Brain Balance Achievement Center of Cary will provide your family with an assortment of in-home activities and a complete nutrition program to help establish healthy routines at home.

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.
Get a deeper view into why your child struggles
The Brain Balance assessment provides you with a deeper view of your child’s struggles. During the assessment, your child’s sensory, motor and cognitive development are evaluated. This assessment helps identify areas of development that need strengthening. The reasons why a child may excel in some areas but has trouble in others will become clearer. From the results, we create a plan that helps your child overcome their struggles.
