My son has ADHD and he was struggling in school so much. I wanted to steer away from medication and had searched for other ways to help him out. And that’s how I learned about Brain Balance of North Olmsted. Our family is so happy that we did because of the tremendous progress my son made. Based on the child’s initial assessment, the program builds a plan to meet the specific need of your individual child. My son was recommended a certain amount of sessions (3x/week) and completed them. However there were some areas that he still needed to work on more than the other after completing those recommended sessions. I felt like adding more sessions in, so he can master them. I’m so happy I did!My favorite part was following up on his results to see how his scores have changed from his initial assessment. He struggled so much with focus, anxiety, impulse control and among other things. Now my son is thriving! Less repeated instructions, knows how to calm himself down in stressful situations and is able to attend to daily routines without getting sidetracked. Also, the people there are amazing! Nate, April, and Melissa are wonderful, caring, loving people to work with. They are like second family to us!

Brain Balance of North Olmsted is amazing and has helped our family go from surviving to thriving. Our son struggled early on, with focus, impulse control, sensory overload, anxiety - and now that he's completed the Brain Balance program he can finally calm himself, be re-directed/instructed, and attend to everyday routines and activities. We have seen so many positive changes in his behavior, our family, friends, teachers, therapist all notice the changes and are so happy to see him engaged and well adjusted. We can't say enough good things about the Brain Balance program, it's very intuitive and designed to meet your child's specific needs. Brain Balance is definitely worth the time and investment, if you'd like to hear more or have any specific questions for a parent who's child has completed BB - please shoot me an email, I'm happy to share our story!

We really APPRECIATE the Brain Balance Centers that is helping our son to have a better future. Our son has autism and we have seen improvements since he started in the Brain balance program. The improvements have been amazing to us. It has been a BLESSING. What has been great is how flexible they are with their time. Our son looks forward each time he gets do the Brain balance program. We look forward to seeing the FULL potential that's being unlocked for him through the Brain balance program. We would recommend the Brain Balance Center of North Olmsted to anyone who wants to see their son or daughter have a better chance to succeed in life.

I highly recommend Brain Balance in North Olmsted! The program helped both of my sons with their focus and Brain development. My 15 year old has improved in not only his school work but also his basketball skills. My 13 year old is mentally disabled and used to have trouble with rage fits due to mental overload. Now he is much better at regulating his emotions and communicating his needs and feelings! The staff and coaches really care about the kids in their program. It’s great to have a team of people caring about your child!

When our son began Brain Balance it was our last resort to helping our son. For years he had tutoring we sent him to summer school every year since 2nd grade, he was on medication for his ADHD for a couple years and nothing seemed to help him. He was struggling in school, he was behind on work constantly, poor test scores, and his teachers were fed up and he was not happy. Fast forward to a new school year and my son is doing so well. He is keeping up with his work, he talks about what he’s learning which he’s never done before. The best part is to get emails from his teachers saying he’s a joy to have in class. My son is a completely different kid in a very good way. He’s still the same sweet boy he’s always been but this change with school is truly amazing. We can’t thank Brain Balance enough.

As a first time google reviewer, we cannot recommend the Brain Balance Center of North Olmsted highly enough. Eight months ago, we decided to enroll our 5-year-old son in their program to help with his behavior issues and emotional regulation struggles. He was having a very hard time controlling his impulses and would often react aggressively before he could calm himself down. After reading the work of Robert Melillo and meeting with Nate (Executive Director), we thought Brain Balance was worth a try - it certainly couldn't hurt! Going to Brain Balance is a commitment from the whole family - changing eating habits, attending sessions 3 times a week, and doing the at-home exercises daily. But it was so worth it for us! The center provides a loving, welcoming environment. The staff, especially Melissa, were always excited to work with our son, even when he was having a difficult day. They took the time to get to know his interests and provide motivation through prizes tailored specifically to him. Melissa and her team went above and beyond to make sure he felt comfortable and loved. Since starting the program, our son has shown objective improvements in all Brain Balance categories including sensory processing, visual processing, body awareness, and synchronization. Subjectively, we no longer deal with constant meltdowns. He can now handle trips to stores without sensory overload. He is more open to trying new foods, can participate on a sports team, and has had two great reports from school already this year! Our home is much calmer and our son is visibly happier. We credit Brain Balance with a large part of this positive change. While we were skeptical at first, I encourage you to meet with Nate and Melissa to learn more. Reading Robert Melillo's work also provides helpful context. This program has been life-changing for our son and family. We will be forever grateful for the impact of the caring, dedicated staff at the Brain Balance Center of North Olmsted.

We loved our experience with Brain Balance of North Olmsted! The owners and staff are warm and welcoming. They work hard to create an environment of connection and positivity that helps both children and parents grow through the difficulties that can come when a child struggles with an imbalance.

We are so thankful we contacted brain balance. They knew exactly what our son needed. He loves the team, they are encouraging and motivating. His confidence, self-control, strength, and capabilities have soared. Honestly, the results are better than expected. Thank you Brain Balance team for all your expertise & encouragement.

I am absolutely amazed at the progress my daughter has made. She has a ways to go still but I know with the support of Brain Balance staff she will get there. She was so excited to start this program. But like anything else kids do, she tired out. The staff was able to come up with a plan to get her re-engaged and it has worked. Best part, she is exhausted when we get home. lol Her academics have improved beyond what I thought they could. It’s work, it’s commitment from both child and parents, but it’s the best decision I have made in her 11yrs on earth.

Thank you to the wonderful and caring staff at Brain Balance! My son has such respect and love for his coaches there. His first coach, Coach Amanda, helped him open up and become more comfortable through their love of books. With the support of his coaches, his confidence has soared, and he has been challenging himself by joining clubs, sports, and making friends.

We enrolled our son in the program last school year and have been very happy with the results! I love how the program does not believe in medication and assesses the child holistically. The staff was very supportive in answering our questions and set all of us up for success! My son has made so much progress and is now better at focusing and we are now more knowledgeable about what makes him tick, so we can support him as well. I highly recommend brain balance. It is a big time commitment, but worth it when you see your child progressing forward and thriving!

Dominic Age 8- We started Brain Balance when our son was 4 years old and non verbal on the Autism spectrum with ADHD. Within months of being in program Dominic was using words to communicate, started making eye contact, had significant improvements in sensory regulation. After taking some time off during the pandemic we started back and the progress continued to grow! ✔️Less picky eating ✔️Better impulse control ✔️Improved social skills ✔️Handwriting significantly improved ✔️Eye tracking for reading improved and so did his word per minute count and accuracy The list goes on… We couldn’t be more thrilled with the progress made and support received. Such a HUGE blessing for our family! -The Ruggeri Family

I’ve been an occupational therapist in an adult hospital setting for 20 years and have never heard of the influence that primitive reflex integration had on higher learning. My 14-year-old son (the youngest of 4) was hitting rock bottom and no one could understand why he was not succeeding in school and feeling, confident in who he was. He is on an IEP, he has intervention specialist, he has accommodations for testing, and work completion after he was labeled with learning disability, not otherwise specified, but strongly display dyslexia tendencies. Teachers also implied that he didn’t try hard in school when in reality he was doing everything he could to keep himself from falling apart every day. I had heard about Brain Balance a few years ago, but due to the expense, I didn’t think it was something we could ever do. Fast forward to 7th grade and another night of impossible attempts to get homework done, I looked back into this program again and decided that this might be our only hope. Once the initial assessment was complete, and the findings represented all the things that we had seen for years, we knew we had to make this work. After participating in the program in center for six months, and also making sure we were compliant with the Home program (even when it wasn’t convenient) and fueling his body with food that served him, there were changes. I noticed them as a mom, the teachers at school started to notice a change, and most importantly, my 14-year-old saw the change. We are still working through the second phase of this program and are excited for more change. I have never looked back on the decision to bring my son to Brain Balance. His success in life and how he feels about himself can never be equated to a dollar amount.

I can't praise the staff and service enough at Brain Balance North Olmsted. I heard about them on a radio commercial and then again from a friend of mine about how much change she saw in her son so I decided to call. My son had a rough time recovering after the shutdowns from the pandemic and his teachers suggested getting him tested for ADHD because his grades would go up and down and they suggested that his focus was elsewhere. His dad and I did as they requested but he did not get a full diagnosis, more of a "well, we could try this medication or that" and that just did not sit well for either of us. Our son is a very kind, warm-hearted boy so it was tough to see him struggle. I didn't think it was ADHD but that's the only thing that the teachers could come up with. So during my initial phone consultation I explained to Leah that I believe it was more of his anxiety that made him struggle with focus, and she responded that "a mother's intuition is usually right." That mentality blew my mind and meant so much to me because no one ever acknowledges that parents might actually know their child best. So when we decided to go forward with the program meeting Nate and Melissa, it was a no-brainer. They explained everything so well and didn't make us feel stupid or anything like that but just very encouraging and that our son probably just needed an extra boost. Before we even were out of the doors of his first physical consultation, my son looked back at me and said " I love this place, can I please keep coming here" that did it for me. Ever since he has been going through the program we have noticed major, major improvements in his self-esteem, his confidence and that in turn has ripple affected in his academics. He has gone from being a D-F student after the pandemic to a B-C student currently and just a short 4 months. I'm so glad that we decided to step out of the box and try this holistic approach instead of giving into medication that, at this stage of his life, he most likely didn't need. Thank you to all the staff and coaches at the center. You not only changed my son's life for the better but you have positively affected or whole family. I would recommend sending your child for this program at any stage in their childhood no matter where they are at academically or behaviorally because this staff is very well trained and experienced to work with all sorts of different kids. I'm just so grateful!

The Brain Balance program has truly helped our family. The staff at North Olmsted is amazing! They are very caring, knowledgeable, and helpful. Over the past 9 months, we have seen our child mature and overcome many challenges. He is doing better in school academically and behaviorally, and we believe that this program is a big part of that change. It wasn’t always easy, but it was definitely worth it. We highly recommend this Brain Balance to all families.

Brain Balance of North Olmsted is amazing. The staff is patient, and very knowledgeable. They gave me an ease regarding my sons disability and they held my hand throughout the entire process. It is a family oriented facility and they provide quality services. I highly recommend them if your child has learning challenges, and you need support and guidance.

We had a wonderful experience at Brain Balance in North Olmsted! The coaches and staff are so kind and helpful. The program was wonderful for my son— he gained a lot of confidence and was strengthened in areas he was struggling with. Highly recommend!

My wife and I were looking for something that could help our son without looking to medication. We heard about Brain Balance on 95.5 The Fish and gave it a shot. We are so thankful for Nate, April, Melissa and the entire team. We have seen so much improvement with our son and we are so blessed to have found Brain Balance. I would recommend Brain Balance to anyone with a child who might struggle with focus, anxiety, behavior and other social skills.

Fantastic experience at Brain Balance - before the program, we had almost daily tears and an “I Can’t” attitude about school from our 9 year old. After Brain Balance, he has actual enthusiasm for learning and much needed self-confidence. His reading proficiency increased by 2 grade levels in just 7 months! For the first time ever, his grades earned him Highest Honors. We tell everyone we know about Brain Balance!

Our son has spent most of the last year in the Brain Balance program and I can truthfully say say that Melissa, Nate, and April were incredibly kind and helpful to our whole family. It is obvious that they stand behind the Brain Balance program and have a genuine desire to help children and families thrive. They did an excellent job of making us all feel welcome, working with his personality and needs, and communicating with us - even offering extra help to find resources for our child's care. Although he still has some work to do, he is a far calmer and happier boy than he was a year ago. We are no longer battling anger all day, every day. He is beginning to be able to process emotions appropriately, gain self-control, and exert some independence. Thank you to all of the Brain Balance staff for your hard work on our behalf this year!

My child completed the Brain Balance program here. While completing the program my child was able to overcome many things that have been making life difficult. The program is one that I have seen great changes in my child. There is still work to be done, but the leaps and bounds were more than what I had seen trying multiple different therapies to help my child. This is not an easy program. It takes a lot of work from the child and the family working with the child. While in program, you are to complete 3 in center sessions a week, do exercises on days not at center, change your diet, and follow a food program. This is a lot to do on top of everything else going on in your life. It is a very demanding program that can make great, great changes if you're willing.

My son was in the program and has grown by leaps and bounds! I can’t even believe how much he has progressed during the time he was in his program. His school noticed changes almost immediately. I was hesitant to admit that he was changing right before our eyes…but he was! I am overjoyed with how things have played out for him. I know we have Brain Balance to thank for that! It was an amazing experience for my son! I would highly recommend Brain Balance!

If you are desperate to find support and answers for your child, please take time to talk to the amazing, caring, knowledgeable and kind individuals at Brain Balance. Nine months ago, we started our journey at Brain Balance and I am so thankful that we invested our time and resources in this way! Our son began to sing a few months after starting the program, something he had not done in his eight years. He began to outwardly express love for his family, something we have always felt but never tangibly saw. He is aware of others and their needs, instead of only focusing on what he cares about. You become part of the Brain Balance family. Nate, April and Melissa are personally invested in the growth of your child.

Brain Balance is a great program! They work one on one with each child on a personalized plan to help them reach their full potential. My son had major growth and development with Brain Balance. We did about 8 months of sessions and we saw all his fuctioning percentages improve. He loved going to his sessions and was motivated to hit his goals. We loved his coaches and the North Olmsted Brain Balance staff. Most notable improvements are with his ability to focus. He has reactivated all his senses. We also feel he has become more social.

The Brain Balance team has been amazing for our family. My son started first and it was helping so much my daughter started showing interest so we did an evaluation for her too. They are both thriving now. They are doing great in school as well as at home. It has even helped them both in their sports activities. I will forever be grateful for the wonderful coaches and the brain balance program. Thank you.
