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.

At Brain Balance Center of Raleigh, 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 Raleigh will provide your family with an assortment of in-home activities and a complete nutrition program to help establish healthy routines at home.
Our center works with children in the greater Raleigh area and surrounding counties of Franklin, Granville and Nash.

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.
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.
Fill out our form now to get started. A Brain Balance team member will reach out to personally discuss your child’s challenges and schedule your child’s assessment.
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.
"Our son exhibited signs of developmental delays in his first year of life. We met each one proactively and head-on. We tried every program and non-invasive therapy that made sense for him. He has dealt with deficits in social, physical, and cognitive areas his entire life. His greatest strength is his drive and desire to excel and succeed. He watched his sisters go to college and wanted that for himself. That was his goal, but he was not ready to handle the demands of college and have it be a positive experience. That is when we found Brain Balance. Our son finished his first Brain Balance program in February 2011 and the second program in April 2012 at the age of 21. He asked to do the second program since he had benefitted so much from the first. He had areas in which he wanted to further improve. The staff was incredible. They encouraged him, challenged him, and helped him meet his goals. Because of the Brain Balance program, he is now enrolled in the community college and is excelling in his classes. He takes full responsibility for his assignments and is working more independently than we could have ever imagined. His grades are consistently A’s. 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. Although I do attribute the gains our son has made to the Brain Balance program, the staff is what made the program work so well for him. Thank you for all of the efforts you made on his behalf and for the love and encouragement that changed my son’s life forever."
"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. Your support and encouragement have changed ME in a positive way. This has been a season of growth, progress, and development for us all. As I’ve said before….priceless. We love and appreciate you all more than words can begin to describe. Thank you for your unselfish, unconditional, ceaseless work, dedication, and genuine concern. My children and I are forever changed."
"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. Different tricks would work for a small-time, and then it would start over again each time getting worse. It was very draining on all of us. We told Grace that Brain Balance was her “sport” for the fall. After a month or so we saw that the nightly questions began to get less and less and she began to turn off her plethora of nightly lights. About a month and a half into the program, Grace looked at her dad and me randomly and said, “You know, I just don’t worry anymore.” It came out of nowhere, and we all three teared up. We knew it was working. At one of her routine check-ins with her coaches, they told me that Grace was a self-advocate. I was floored because this was a new thing for her. Over the course of the 3-month program, we saw slow and steady changes within Grace and we were thrilled and relieved at the same time. We finally found something that worked and we didn’t feel helpless anymore. Our daughter was happy, not worrying, her grades were coming up, but most importantly she began to feel more comfortable in social settings and was finally sleeping! We have been out of the program for 3 years now and to look back at who our daughter once was, she has developed into a sleeping, social butterfly. She now wants her room pitch black to sleep and has all kinds of friends and makes friends so much easier. Grace has become so strong and she doesn’t let her anxiety consume her. We are true believers in Brain Balance and will always consider the team at Brain Balance of Raleigh as part of our family."
"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. We tried it for our daughter with the most extreme ADHD symptoms and were so pleased, we put our other daughter (with less extreme symptoms) in as well.
Our situation: two girls, daily calls and texts from teachers regarding behavior and not paying attention in school. I got an average of 2 calls per girl each day. I dreaded answering my phone and my stomach hurt when I saw the school name pop up on my phone. My husband is dead set against medication; me not so much. So the combination of diet, program and home exercises made sense for us. The cost is really high. Not going to lie about it. But it's worth every single dollar.
I've watched first-hand as things started to change - small things like my daughter doing less donkey kicks while she watched her tablet, her starting to do things the 1st or 2nd time I told her, making eye contact when she speaks, and moving to having control over her actions.
Finally, both my girls would tell me that they wanted to do better, be better but they couldn't reach those goals. Their brains didn't have the connections to give them that level of control. It's an amazing process to watch and to know that you are hitting the root of the problem rather than applying temporary band-aids."

Joanna and Tod Manning, parents of four school-age children, understand the joys and the struggles that accompany rearing children. As two of their children battled behavior and academic issues, they researched and sought multiple approaches to help their children succeed at home at school and on the playground. Their own quest to find a solution to their children’s struggles led them to Brain Balance Achievement Centers. Originally living in Wilmington, NC, the success their children achieved spurred them to relocate their family to Wake Forest, NC, so as to provide other families with the same success.
As a homeschooling mother, Joanna realizes that children who struggle to focus, learn, and to behave truly want to do well in school and at home. She loves talking to parents and instilling the hope within them that their own children can succeed when given the tools to do so.
