Our coaches don’t just guide students, they grow alongside them. Watching a student unlock potential transforms the way we see what’s possible in every brain, including our own. When you work on your brain, your brain adapts, your perspective shifts, and suddenly the limits you thought were real… aren’t.
✨Growth isn’t just for kids. It’s for everyone who believes more is possible.

“There’s no bug in the brain causing ADHD.”

That’s how Isaac Johnson from Brain Balance, Tulsa and OKC, begins to reframe a common misconception.

Symptoms like inattention, impulsivity, or meltdowns aren’t about what’s wrong — they’re about how the brain is wired and connected.

The good news? The brain can change.

When kids move with purpose, their brains grow stronger.
Hand, eye, and foot coordination build focus, confidence, and control.

Because when the whole body works, the whole brain wakes.

Does your child seem unable to follow routines, stay organized, or meet expectations for their age—no matter how many strategies you try?

You’re not doing anything wrong. Their brain just might not be ready yet.

Lynn Brittnacher, Director at Brain Balance of Wisconsin and a 25-year educator, explains: when brain function is underdeveloped, even the best support tools can feel overwhelming.

At Brain Balance, we meet your child where they are developmentally and create a program to improve their brain’s function. And once the brain begins to mature, all the support and structure you’ve worked so hard to provide can finally sink in.

Is your child constantly moving in class? Falling off their chair? Labeled as distracted or naughty?

Lynn Brittnacher—former teacher of 25 years and now Executive Director at Brain Balance of Wisconsin—says it’s not always a behavior issue. It’s often a mismatch between expectations and development.

When a child’s brain is still in a movement-based phase, asking them to sit and focus for long stretches can feel impossible—not because they’re unwilling, but because they’re not ready yet.

🧠 Brain Balance helps strengthen the foundational brain functions that support focus, attention, and emotional regulation.

Walked early? Learned letters before their peers?

Your child hit all their milestones early. So why does it feel like they’re falling behind now?

In this webinar, Lynn Brittnacher, Owner & Executive Director of Brain Balance of Wisconsin and a former teacher with 25 years of experience, breaks down why early isn’t always better when it comes to development.

When one area of the brain matures faster than another, kids can seem to excel in one area and struggle in another. Lynn explains how Brain Balance helps identify these gaps and guides development in the right order—supporting the whole child.

🧠 You’re not behind. You’re not alone. And there’s real help available.
