Our Executive Director at The Brain Balance Center of Columbus, Katie Morton, understands the pain of watching her child fall behind. Her son had significant learning, attention and behavioral difficulties including challenges with reading, focusing and connecting with peers and classmates.
As a parent, Katie was determined to help her son overcome these obstacles, and in her search for answers read Dr. Melillo’s Disconnected Kids. Dr. Melillo’s book showed Katie that there was a way to help her son, and she knew the Brain Balance program was the answer she was seeking.
The experience changed their lives. Not only did Katie see improvement in her son, but she was inspired to share the Brain Balance program with others in Ohio. Our program at Brain Balance Columbus, OH is driven by the hope of making a difference in the lives of children and their families, just like it made a difference for Katie and her family.

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 team member from a Brain Balance Center near you 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.

Deborah’s first-hand experience in family counseling and raising her own children with learning and behavioral struggles will no doubt be an asset to the Brain Balance Team.
Katie Morton knew she had to bring the Brain Balance Program® to more families after seeing her severely ADHD son make tremendous improvements academically and socially through his enrollment at Brain Balance of Canton, Ohio. Her passion is to bring hope to parents of special needs children, by helping children overcome their unique challenges in order to live without the encumbrances of disabilities.
In addition to being the parent of a special needs child, Katie has over 10 years of experience working in administration and business management for several small businesses as well as a private elementary school. She received her Bachelor of Arts in Communications from Moody Bible Institute.
As an educator with over 20 years in corporate, home and classroom education experience, Sally Buckles landed at Brain Balance with her then ten-year old son after exhausting all the resources his local public school could offer. Her passion about bringing Brain Balance to other families stems from the significant progress seen in her son’s own emotional, social, academic and relational skills. She desires to educate parents about the importance of correcting underlying brain imbalances for children as the building block of their long-term change and success in all areas of life.
A graduate of Otterbein University with a degree in psychology and organizational communication, Sally has worked in the business consulting industry, the non-profit sector, and in a private elementary school. She is thrilled to work alongside families to support their children in reaching their full potential.
