The BrainworX Program
Please visit our BrainworX website at www.brainworxcenters.com for more information!
BrainworX is a comprehensive brain-based rehabilitation program that targets neurological deficiencies that have been identified with AD/HD, dyslexia, autism and other pediatric neuro-developmental disorders2. Our evaluation involves lab testing for nutritional deficiencies and metabolic disorders, postural assessment, balance and coordination testing, auditory & visual processing speed assessment, and gross motor and fine motor planning and sequencing evaluation. At BrainworX we use a multi-modal treatment approach to activate and retrain underdeveloped areas of the brain.
The Science Behind the Disorder
The most significant and consistent structural imaging findings include reduced volumes in the right frontal lobe, right parietal cortex, caudate nucleus, cerebellar hemispheres, and posterior-inferior lobules of the cerebellar vermis in AD/HD children1.
Deficiencies in these anatomical structures not only manifest as attention and focus problems but can also be seen in motor and sensory abnormalities.
BrainworX targets these areas and helps children combat their cognitive and physical impairments.
