CINCINNATI—For many tri-state chil­dren, the hus­tle and bus­tle of the new school year is already in full swing. To many kids, that means the excite­ment of new teach­ers, new chal­lenges, and new friends. How­ever, for the many chil­dren in this coun­try suf­fer­ing from behav­ioral dis­or­ders, the begin­ning of the school year can be a par­tic­u­larly stress­ful time, for them and their parents.

The new Brain Bal­ance Cen­ter of Cincin­nati (http://www.brainbalancecenters.com/center-locator/) announces two upcom­ing sem­i­nars intro­duc­ing par­ents to an alter­na­tive method for work­ing with chil­dren suf­fer­ing from neu­robe­hav­ioral disorders—the Brain Bal­ance Pro­gram^®.

The free lec­tures will be on Sept. 7 and 21 from 7–8 p.m. at the Dou­ble­tree Guest Suites in Sharonville. The Brain Bal­ance Cen­ter is sched­uled to open some­time in Octo­ber, depend­ing on enroll­ment. Eval­u­a­tions for prospec­tive stu­dents will begin in mid-September.

The foun­da­tion of the Brain Bal­ance Pro­gram^® is Hemi­spheric Inte­gra­tion Ther­apy (“HIT”).  HIT is focused on func­tion­ally recon­nect­ing the two hemispheres—right and left—of the brain. The appli­ca­tion of it may lead to res­o­lu­tion or improve­ment of many of the symp­toms asso­ci­ated with neu­robe­hav­ioral dis­or­ders such as ADD, Dyslexia, Asperger’s Syn­drome and Autism.

Over the course of the infor­ma­tional ses­sions, par­ents will learn about the Brain Bal­ance approach to work­ing with kids suf­fer­ing from neu­robe­hav­ioral dis­or­ders. The pre­sen­ta­tions will cover how the study of the brain led to the devel­op­ment of the Brain Bal­ance Pro­gram^®, how neu­robe­hav­ioral dis­or­ders are related, how this rela­tion­ship is cen­tral to the Brain Bal­ance approach, and finally the role proper nutri­tion plays in reduc­ing symp­toms. Par­ents will also hear what par­ents of stu­dents in the Brain Bal­ance Pro­gram^® have to say, and will have a chance to ask questions.

“We are thrilled to be bring­ing a Brain Bal­ance Cen­ter to Cincin­nati,” said Greg Marischen, Brain Bal­ance Cincin­nati Direc­tor. “These neu­robe­hav­ioral dis­or­ders are becom­ing an epi­demic in our coun­try. Doc­tors in the United States last year wrote over 20 mil­lion pre­scrip­tions of Ritalin for chil­dren as young as four. The Brain Bal­ance method is non-drug based and works with each child on an indi­vid­ual basis to help develop their motor/sensory skills, cog­ni­tive abil­i­ties, nutri­tion, and brain plasticity.”

Call 513–376-3085 or con­tact Greg Marischen via e-mail at gmarischen@brainbalancecenters.com today to reserve your seat at this free edu­ca­tional event. Seat­ing is limited.

There are 34 Brain Bal­ance Cen­ters estab­lished across the coun­try, with 22 cur­rently oper­a­tional. The Brain Bal­ance Cen­ter of Cincin­nati, located in Mason, will be the first cen­ter to open in Ohio.  For more infor­ma­tion, visit http://www.brainbalancecenters.com/ or http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/pages/Brain-Balance-Center-of-Cincinnati/131664906844658?ref=ts.
