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 of Visalia

"Being able to communicate with my child, giving and receiving information, understanding my child and him understanding me, has changed the whole family dynamics. "

James, Age 10

"She has excelled in math. She is no longer defiant towards us. She has a lot of friends. She no longer has behavior issues."

Athena, Age 12

"He has done subtly things like, he gently touched my face and hair recently; I think it was for the first time he noticed these textures. Another example, just after I had gotten done explaining the importance of doing his best on school work, he asked me, “Mom, I’m tired of working hard, aren’t you?” His question (pleasantly) surprised me, like a break in the clouds during a rainstorm.  He still interrupts people when talking but now he’ll catch himself and apologize and say, “I’ll wait my turn”."

Cyrus

"Teachers and counselors have noticed an improvement in his personality.  A great big improvement. He is making friends and even changed his attitude toward another boy with whom he had gotten into fight this year in school. Brain Balance Works.  If you’re concerned about behavior and academics, Brain Balance addresses these issues."

Andreas

"A lot of people that know us have noticed the difference in her behavior and maturity. Before she was very shy, now she is outspoken and advocates for herself.  She protects her younger brother and even gives advice to her older sister."

Zaira

"We started noticing changes in his demeanor within a month of the program. Most notably, my son started reading!!  I was shocked when he was reading street signs as we drove down the street, that never happened before. He was able to read books and comprehend what he was reading.  He is now able to have a conversation with us and look at us in the eye when speaking.  During quarantine, we were worried that he would have a regression, but he did NOT!!"

Gabe, Age 7-8

"Matthias has improved tremendously on his physical reflexes and eye coordination. He’s also able to make eye contact when socializing with others."

Matthias, Age 10

"Within few weeks we saw that overall she just had a more positive attitude. She became more (respectfully) assertive in communicating her needs/wants instead of just complaining that something didn’t go her way. She was taking more initiative in talking with kids. Then she started paying attention when we would read books to her, and answer simple questions correctly. She began focusing better in school."

Azorah Efseaff, Age 8
