A new facility for Brain Balance Achievement Centers is now open on the north side of Indianapolis at 9510 N. Meridian Street, Suite D.

Brain Balance Achievement Centers offer the Brain Balance Program® in 29 nationwide locations. This proprietary, non-medical program has been successful in helping hundreds of children who suffer from ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourette’s, Asperger’s and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

In order to educate parents on the basics of the Brain Balance Program, parent lectures will be held throughout July and August at the new facility at the following times:

• Wednesday, July 28, at 1:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, August 3, at 7:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, August 11, at 1:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, August 17, at 7:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, August 25, at 1:00 p.m.

To register for a parent lecture, please call 317-843-9200 and ask for Julie Peterson. Educators and professionals, such as occupational therapists, psychologists and pediatricians, are also encouraged to attend.

The parent lectures will discuss the 12-week afterschool program, which first includes a comprehensive assessment of all areas of a child’s brain and body function. Then, by integrating physical and cognitive exercises with dietary change, Brain Balance Achievement Centers are able to correct the child’s underlying brain imbalance, improve function and reduce/eliminate negative behaviors.

Some of the biggest and hottest topics today with regard to children are ADD/ADHD and Autism Spectrum Disorders. Take, for example, the story about a study linking crop pesticides to ADHD. The story appeared on NBC’s “Today” and CBS’ “Early Show,” along with all three network evening news programs. Or how about researchers recently unveiling the most detailed picture yet of the genetic causes of autism.

So many children and their parents turn to medication for results, but a new facility opening on the north side of Indianapolis offers a non-medical approach to looking at these challenges and many others. Brain Balance Achievement Centers will be opening in July — bringing an individualized, comprehensive approach to helping children with neurobehavioral and learning difficulties overcome their unique challenges.

Brain Balance Achievement Centers offer the Brain Balance Program in 29 nationwide locations. This proprietary, non-medical program has been successful in helping hundreds of children reach their physical, social/behavioral health and academic potential. The centers work with children who suffer with ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourette’s, Asperger’s and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

“Our mission is to make the Brain Balance Program available to as many children as possible, so that each child may reach their greatest physical, mental, social and academic potential,” said Center Director Brad Ralston of the Indianapolis Brain Balance facility.

In order to educate parents on the basics of the Brain Balance Program®, two parent lectures will be held at 9302 N.
