The Brain Balance Center, with multiple locations in Colorado and elsewhere, works with families who deal with Functional Disconnection Syndrome, a condition described by the Brain Balance Center as combining symptoms seen in many neurological conditions, including ADHD, sensory processing issues, and obsessive-compulsive behaviors. The Brain Balance Centers focus on three areas of treatment: the training of senses and muscles; academics; and changes in diet.
Functional Disconnection Syndrome has a variety of ways to both identify and treat.
Functional Disconnection Syndrome has diverse treatments and approaches.
The director of the Center in Highlands Ranch, Co., believes that parents are attracted to their programs because of the holistic approach that combines exercise and sensory stimulus with academic work and a changed diet. The price for Brain Balance programs varies between $5,900 and $12,000. One family from Kiowa Colorado found the expense worthwhile as they saw their fourth-grade daughter blossom from frustration to joy and accomplishment.
If you ask her, she will tell you that before Brain Balance, she used to feel angry all the time, but she will say, ‘now I actually feel joyful.’ Just the other day she said, ‘Mom, it feels like I have a new brain.’

Is your child struggling in school?
Get your free personalized learning roadmap
You describe what you see at home. We turn it into a plan you start this week.
- Answer 5 short questionnaires about what you already notice, 30–45 minutes at your own kitchen table
- Your child sits no test and gets no score: nothing to schedule, nothing for them to dread
- You do the answering, the AI does the writing, and a person reviews it before it reaches you
- Access all 40+ courses instantly: reading, math, focus, processing and more, with new ones added regularly
Why we use AI, plainly: it writes from a knowledge base our team maintains and audits. We work through it line by line and pull anything the evidence stops supporting. The roadmap you get on Tuesday reflects what we corrected on Monday, and a human still reads it before you do.
Your school district must evaluate your child free of charge if you ask in writing, whatever your income and whatever the outcome (US, 34 CFR 300.111 and 300.301(b)). That route takes time and answers a different question than you do. This one starts today, from what you already know.
Your answers stay yours. We do not sell your personal information, and we do not hand identifiable assessment data to outside AI companies to train their models.
A screener is a starting point, not a diagnosis. If your child might need formal accommodations (an IEP or 504 plan), or you suspect a vision, hearing or medical cause, pursue a professional evaluation too. That is the only route to those supports.
