A new facility for Brain Balance Achievement Centers is now open on the north side of Indianapolis at 9510 N. Meridian Street, Suite D.

Brain Balance Achievement Centers offer the Brain Balance Program® in 29 nationwide locations. This proprietary, non-medical program has been successful in helping hundreds of children who suffer from ADD/ADHD, Dyslexia, Tourette’s, Asperger’s and Autism Spectrum Disorders.

In order to educate parents on the basics of the Brain Balance Program, parent lectures will be held throughout July and August at the new facility at the following times:

• Wednesday, July 28, at 1:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, August 3, at 7:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, August 11, at 1:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, August 17, at 7:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, August 25, at 1:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, August 31, at 7:00 p.m.

To register for a parent lecture, please call 317-843-9200 and ask for Julie Peterson. Educators and professionals, such as occupational therapists, psychologists and pediatricians, are also encouraged to attend.

The parent lectures will discuss the 12-week afterschool program, which first includes a comprehensive assessment of all areas of a child’s brain and body function. Then, by integrating physical and cognitive exercises with dietary change, Brain Balance Achievement Centers are able to correct the child’s underlying brain imbalance, improve function and reduce/eliminate negative behaviors.

Eighty teaching positions and more than 300 part-time summer positions are available.

Applicants are asked to bring resumes, evidence of certification and contact information, along with a file to hold all applications, resumes, business cards and school literature. Business attire is required.
