ADHD Parents Movie

Have you heard of The Brain Balance Achievement Centers? I hadn’t until today.

The Brain Balance Achievement Centers claim to be able to treat and sometimes cure Attention Deficit Disorder as well as a number of other things like learning disabilities and Autism.

Now right away, my first reaction was negative. I don’t like it when anyone claims to be able to cure ADHD because I don’t think it’s possible. You either have ADHD or you don’t and that will never change.

After taking a look at their website, I have changed my opinion somewhat.

They take a holistic view of all that’s going on with your child – their body, their mind, their environment. They look at things like diet, allergies, motor skills, social skills and so much more.

I can begin to see how, if they find deficiencies in some of these areas, that it might be possible that together they present symptoms very similar to ADHD. In that case, taking care of the underlying problems could result in little to no ADD like symptoms. But to me, that’s not curing ADHD, because the person never had it.

I myself believe that diet and allergies can have an effect on ADHD, and I’m not alone in that belief. It seems that in some respects, The Brain Balance Achievement Center takes an approach much like my Med Free with ADD program, although of course, theirs is far more comprehensive.

There are only 13 Brain Balance Achievement Centers in the country, but you might be interested in checking out their website and see what you think of it.

As I said, I’m still not convinced but I believe that many of their ideas are valid and worth a closer look. Maybe you can find something of use that you can try for your child.

    I believe that ADHD, high-functioning autism, learning disabilities, and other neurologically based disorders CAN be cured. I believe that Brain Balance Centers are the closest thing to a cure that is out there. I have just heard a lecture by Dr. Mellilo. If you ever get a chance to go to one of his lectures, GO! Wow!! And read his book. I have studied neurology and worked with brain injured people in rehabilitation and with special ed kids in schools (as an OT), and know from experience that brain stimulation through purposeful activity and multi-modal interaction with a positive, healthy environment is the BEST way to foster development and to correct neurological dysfunction.
