Children diagnosed with dyslexia or learning delays or kids who have struggled academicallybrfrom day one in kindergarten usually do well socially, can be great athletesbrand are generally well behaved. So what's the problem? The biggest problembrthese children face is often is a left-hemisphere delay where they process informationbrmore slowly and have difficulty synchronizing visual and auditory information.brBecause the left hemisphere is developing a tremendous amount from ages 4-6, abrchild can fall behind academically early on if their left hemisphere is lowerbrin function. A parent sees their child laboring to read (or not interested inbrreading at all), having difficulty with phonics, unable to find their words easilybrwhen they are speaking and having trouble memorizing. The child has difficultybrprocessing what he sees and what he hears simultaneously and so appearsbrinattentive. This often leads to a diagnosis from professionals of ADD, orbrLearning Disabled. Parents of a child with a left-hemisphere delay often see abrwell-behaved child who excels in many areas (socially, athletically) butbrsuffers academically. Naturally, the parent sees the logical solution as extrabrtutoring.
But this does not work well in a childbrwho has an area of the brain that is functioning below his actual agebrlevel. The left hemisphere is so under-connected that it is unable tobrprocess that extra tutoring in a meaningful way. Bringing all the functions upbrin this area of the child's brain is necessary, and then tutoring can bebrhelpful for addressing the gaps in learning that happened from the informationbrhe missed when he was under-connected.
Think of it this way — you have a stonebrand you have a sponge. The stone represents an under-connected brain with areasbrof lower-than-age-level functions. The sponge represents a brain where allbrareas are functioning at a child's actual age level. You also have a pitcher ofbrwater that represents all that extra tutoring. You can pour water on the stonebrall day long, and it won't absorb a single drop. See where we're going withbrthis? You first need to turn the stone into a sponge, and then the extrabrtutoring can be absorbed and processed. That's what we do at Brain Balance: Webrturn stones into sponges.
The Brain Balance program addresses the fundamental problems andbrdisorders, drug-free. At the core of these disorders is desynchronizedbrprocessing speed or an imbalance between the two hemispheres of the brainbrresulting in a functional disconnection.brThe faulty communication creates the complexity of disorders that affect everybrfunctional system in the body.
