Common Features
Traditionally clinicians have viewed the disorders of AD/HD, Learning Disabilities, Asperger's, Tourrette’s, PDD or Autism as separate entities. However as understanding grows many now view these disorders as points on a common spectrum of developmental disabilities. These points (or conditions) share many features or common symptoms as well underlying cause, varying only in severity and specific areas of the brain affected. Where the child falls along the spectrum is dependent on the severity of the imbalance and the specific regions of the brain affected which results in many if not all of the common symptoms of these disorders.
Underlying Cause
It is now understood that the underlying cause of many of these disorders is a functional imbalance of brain activity within each side and/or between the right and left sides of the brain. Current research continues to describe this as brain under-connectivity, desynchronization and/or functional disconnection syndrome.
The brain literally becomes desynchronized or ‘out of rhythm’, so just as an orchestra may be filled with extremely gifted musicians the music played will sound horrible if the musicians play out of rhythm of each other the brain too must function ‘in rhythm’ or in synchronicity.
Disconnected Children
We at Brain Balance refer to these children as Disconnected Children because they are often disconnected from the world around them, from their families and even from their own bodies.
If you believe your child has potential far above what he or she is showing, you owe it to your child and yourself to contact us and attend one of our upcoming lectures.
If you are not satisfied with the choices of medication, ineffective tutoring or just sitting back and hoping your child will someday outgrow his or her difficulties, then you need to find out what options you have before more time slips away.
Based on the latest scientific research and over ten years of working with children with neurobehavioral disorders we have developed a program that will help determine if your child is suffering from this underlying brain dysfunction of under-connectivity, desynchronization, or functional disconnection. We will also show you how this problem can be successfully corrected allowing your child to reach his full potential.
For More Information
Brain Balance Centers hold periodic parent lectures where parents and professionals alike can gain a unique window into a child’s brain function. Our lectures offer insight into how the brain normally develops and what may interfere with the stages of typical development. Most importantly we will show you how with proper intervention your child’s problems may be corrected. Contact a local center for specific information regarding upcoming lectures.
