- Some families say they’ve seen transformative benefits from programs that claim to rewire the brain, but many researchers say the evidence is thin.

Parents Pay For ‘Brain Training’ To Help Kids With ADHD & Autism. Does It Work? | NBC Nightly News
Why so much ? A loan? Parents shouldn’t have to go into debt for healthcare.
There is a Dr that you can get in touch with (Dr Oyalo) on CZcams. Am excited to share about how his herbs works perfectly in reversing my son autism. now he is herbal with his behavior ok and he can now obey instructions. the herbs has been a positive impact on his and i recommend to everyone too.
So it works for some people and doesn’t work for some people. I still think it’s worth it as a parent.
It helps me. I started their new adult program a month ago. My strength & balance are increasing.
what do they make you do
@@sayedero workouts, balancing, computer exercises
@@lisalegato0109 glad you are getting some benefit. The prices seem extreme and unfair, though.
If they cared so much, why wouldn't they have volunteers first rather than charging a ridiculously amount of money for desperate parents that want to see their babies do better in life!!!!! I have a grandson whom is struggling so much to be focused and not distracted and it breaks my heart to see these families put out so much money! SMH....
Well, from what I've seen, the place needs the money to get the stuff that'll help the kids. Unfortunately most of the things they need costs so much money. Not to mention repairs on the buildings, needing to replace broken things and money for the staff

Go through insurance
The costs per year for a family to provide therapy services, in deductibles, co-pays, and out-of-pocket expenses far exceeds the cost of this program. You have no idea. The therapists provided by CMH have very little insight and only use "approved" methods by insurance companies, and gov insurance. The amount of time and money spent for this is well worthwhile but requires intelligent parents to follow through.
Insurance never pays for things that may actually help
oh wow i was put through one of these when i was younger. it absolutely did not help me and honestly i'm surprised that i naively bought into it as well
@Wesley Hinson ok bro
can y'all stop posting quack remedies under this comment, thanks
So no one going to talk about the fact the vp is a trained chiropractor? I mean a neurosurgeon should be telling us what’s going on.

There might not be anything to support this specifically but there is measured results with reflex integration. There haven’t been tons of studies and no massive scale studies but every study shows an improvement
The therapy is very specific to each child, unlike canned "sensory integration" therapy delivered by most outpatient clinics. ABA is a farce and superficial, only creates modified external behavior that is more socially "acceptable". It's because insurance and big pharma can't patent it. Not a coincidence that mass media companies are owned by the same financial interests as "mainstream medicine", big pharma, and now academia.
I don't believe anything that's said by the parents who talk of the progress that's been made. I think it's a load of rubbish, especially the advert/propaganda video.

Basically what I'm seeing is someone stimulating several of these little boy's senses at once. With the shakers, with the scent, with the special glasses. People with autism and ADD have sensory challenges. The brain is wired differently so that we experience senses in overload rather than them integrating. This is what leads to meltdowns. This occupational therapist (or whoever she is) is helping the little boy get used to being around many different senses at once while playing one on one. Play therapy and physical therapy can help children on the spectrum or those with ADD but you can also do this at home for free with your children or with a therapist trained to help children cope with sensory issues for a lot less than $10K! And of course, since everyone on these spectrums are different, so will be the results.
Actually, in my experience, it doesn’t even really help much (I have it)
All it does it make you better at hiding discomfort, if anything
It would much more beneficial to teach coping strategies, like keeping noise canceling headphones, sunglasses, etc. On hand to reduce stimuli the event of an overload. how to recognize the signs/symptoms of an oncoming overload and what do when you feel one coming. And so on.
But then I guess there’s no reason for them to keep coming back for more sessions.
Honestly, you’ll find way more success from a) listening to your kid and working with them and/or b) asking other people who are diagnosed with your child’s condition for advice (not the parents of said people), online forums can be helpful for this
@@chloskyskies4399 I agree with you completely! I know parents are desperate to help their kids and themselves but they go to the "experts" who charge this kind of money and they go to other parents who can be supportive but at the end of the day it's those who have actually live with autism and ADHD and sensory issues, who don't need to be fixed, but have had to work out living in what is for them an over stimulated world that will be able to help the most

@wesleyhinson3395 what did he do?
@@raea3588I have a son who melts down 20-30 times a day. Nothing has helped him cope. Yes I would like him to " get better" sometimes my other child and I get out of the house for peace and quiet. His meltdowns are exhausting for him and anyone around him.
The fees are criminal!! Wow!!
How do you know what the fees are
I went there when i was around 14 and one of the biggest problems for me was that i had a partner to do all the exercises with that was my age. He made me uncomfortable because he gave off this creepy feeling though he technically never did anything. I was really self conscious of my body and having to do workouts in front of someone else silently was really uncomfortable for me. I'd occasionally forget to do the exercises at home and didn't eat as healthily as i should've which was bad on my part but i felt like overall it was way too much money than it was worth, i felt bad about my mom paying for it and tried to hint to her that it wasn't a good idea. It felt like way too much money for some workouts, being spun in a chair, and identifying smells. the atmosphere was so awkward and quiet which made me wanna go even less. In the end nothing really improved for me.
And honestly I felt really bad that I wasted my moms money by nothing really improving but after seeing comments from other brain balance videos i feel better about it knowing that i wasnt the only one who saw no improvement

Did you report the guy?
Thanks for bringing this amazing news have a fantastic day ❤
*So, what is the counter-point? Does this treatment(s) work at all for kids who've been professionally diagnosed by recognized licensed experts in this field of 'behavior-disorders' or is at all simply 'Opinions'*
Idk but I do know the licensed experts are going to give your kid some pills and call it a day.
Well they showed people in the video who got no help for it. I personally see next to no science behind it. Also, autism and ADHD are not behavior disorders, they're neurodevelopmental disorders that, if the individual isn't getting support, can be why they have meltdowns. Not being understood = Having no control over emotions and meltdowns.
Considering their studies don’t hold up to peer review or proper procedure of the scientific method, no
As someone with the target conditions, this company is predatory bullish!t
@@kevinjohnson6549 trust me, with adhd, it’s the first treatment for an option. If they actually have adhd and take the pills as prescribed, they won’t be addicted, the difference in brain chemistry from the average person prevents that, most “withdrawal” that’s reported from those with adhd is actually just your brain dealing with being overtaxed again after getting used to having the load taken off.
If the meds are helping, you’ll know.
If you have adhd, you don’t get a high from your meds, you just are able to think clearly,
The best I can describe it is as putting glasses on your minds eyes. What was once a fuzzy mess is now clear coherent thought.
And just like with glasses, things will be fuzzy and distorted for those who don’t need them, but that doesn’t mean they don’t help people who actually need them.
Pharmacy/medical companies are usually still sh!t, tho.
But, not because the medication doesn’t work, they do.
You wanna know the real corruption, why medication, which literally is the difference between you being able to function and not, is priced so high.
Why are life saving meds so high?
My adhd meds are the difference between me having an actually functioning brain and having a mental state comparable to someone with mid-stage dementia.
Why is my epi-pen, which is the difference between literal life and death, is $600 when costs around 30 dollars to produce.
They don’t need to risk making up diagnoses, when they can much more safely just increase the price and profit from those who have no choice but to pay it.
@@nathanboo7649 exactly, any “improvements” are just the kids becoming better at hiding their suffering
ITS ALMOST AS IF ADEQUATELY STIMULATING YOUR KIDS HELPS THEM DEVELOPE + KEEPS THEM SATISFIED
And as if charging desperate parents enormous amounts of money is ok.
This is more like a cult approach.
Its like selling bottled water
Oh my god I’m autistic and it’s good to help people with stims…but you shouldn’t change autism or call it brain draining. It’s not bad to be autistic. There basically claiming to cure these things and that’s disgusting. These aren’t imbalances in your brain, things like autism are different brain types. Your brain can be chemically imbalanced but that’s not autism. Autism isn’t a chemical.
hard agree!! i have adhd and my mom signed up for brain balance for months and it didn't even help me :/ not to mention the fact that they think they're "fixing" neurodivergent kids. it just rubs me in the wrong way tbh
My son is 3 and autistic, I deal with him quite well - the only scary part is I don't know if he's going to be like you who seems to be normal or be like some other videos that I've watch where they become adults and kind of mute- (can't speak at all and can't write)- if I had the money I would try about anything at the moment while he's still young
Preach.
Please stop. Are you raising any autistic kids or just talking?

Should speak to Learning Rx
This feels like a money scam! Basically lets treat these special needs kids and experiment and see what works and charge a whole lot of money for these treatments. This is BS.
I am an RN 19 yrs. My son went from a diagnosis of ADHD and AUTISM. WE TRIED OT PT Counseling and drugs! He was 4. He had many issues. I saw DR RAY DAMADIAN who invented MRI technology, and his work with Jim McMahon the NFL QB. He was able to help Jim with Dr Scott Rosa, and CTE symptoms were reversed. Dr Rosa saw that my son had a cervical spine issue too. WE GOT ONE atlas adjustment called atlas orthogonal and all of his symptoms went away and he began tying his shoes and doing math word problems. He has friends now. He no longer has extreme mood swings. He no longer is said to be ADHD or Autistic per the school psychologist. He even got student of the month and honor roll for the first time and I cried because he had never had an award and most teachers said " What are you going to do about him?" Please consider Atlas orthogonal before all this expensive time wasting stuff
If he no longer has ADHD or autism, he didn't have it in the first place. They're both neurodevelopmental disorders that you're born with, and that stay with you your entire life. Sure he can "improve" in some ways, in ADHD, especially with medication, and with autism, with helpful and not hurtful therapies, such as speech therapy and occupational therapy.
Autism and ADHD are natural parts of neurodiversity. It's not less, wrong, and should not try to be "cured" or "reversed". Accept your kid for who he is, love him unconditionally, and help him to be the best he can be. Allow him to be autistic and ADHD.
@@nathanboo7649 Adhd was his diagnosis. Autism was his diagnosis. I know what they are as an ortho neuro RN. He got an atlas orthogonal adjustment and they did placement tests for special education and the school psychologist said there was no sign now of either condition. Thank you
alantoaxial subluxation can look like Autism and ADHD, Depression, TBI , and when resolved behavior and symptoms resolved.
@@kelleyrogers6013 Neither autism or ADHD are behavioural disorders. They’re neurodevelopmental disorders as I said, which literally changes how your brain is wired physically, not changeable. If he doesn’t have it now, he didn’t have it then.
@@nathanboo7649 Is ADHD a behavioral diagnosis?
It is the most commonly diagnosed behavioral disorder in children.
That's stupid 10k for a thairpey n.o

Lemme guess.. these kids folks dont spank... smh. Thank God I live in a a RIGHT TO PARENT STATE! My nephew has full blown autism and is so happy he cracks up laughing when on the toilet taking a poop.. and loves structure and thrives when not treated like he has an excuse to act crazy. Everyone asks how we get him to always be so fair when emotional + nonverbal. No meds. ACCOUNTABILITY, DISCIPLINE, AND POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT. ALL EXPECTATIONS ARE EXPLAINED STEP BY STEP AND WE TOOK AWAY HIS TABLET. Hes a complete joy and is learning how to communicate.
You also need to understand not all autistics aren't on the same areas of the spectrum as your nephew though.
@@justpeachy2738 being I have autistic family.. I already know.. u meet 1 person with it- u meet 1 person. But thanks for pointing out the obvious.. my 2 kids are fine and have straight As and volunteer and understand the pecking order also
@@SaraJean85 , I wasn't being rude. My son is on the spectrum but the way you came across it sounded like you can discipline the autism right out of them. A person autism will still have melt downs that they can't control it due to sensory, over stimulation ect. They might cause a scene and disciplining that will not work and most definitely will make it worse.
All I'm reading is a bunch of assumptions... instead of just asking if that's what I ment and been direct.. u said all that to just run around ur point. And no u cant discipline anything out of anyone. Its consistency and letting them choose to bend to my will. It works better when based in respect and love and understanding- not just labeling ur unruly spoiled child. I also think some* kids ARE miss diagnosed when it's their folks and their home life as the kid as the alpha and the father and mother the submissive ones. And ppl wonder why their kids dont act right! Or speak when presuming or assuming about stuff instead of just saying what they mean the first time.. take care ;)

Autism comes from a dance in the family.
Spend time with your kids, stop drugs and show up with love.
That works with a normal kid, but some kids aren't normal.
@@Lapdogst agree
Some people are just born with under develop brain just how some people can be born without an arm, or blind, some people are even born with small brain due to alcoholism. And yes this may actually work, the brain is amazing in that it can adapt, one example is a little girl who lost half of her brain. Yes half, and the other half took over what the other half would normally be doing, with a lot of therapy she was able to walk and function like a normal kid.
Obviously you don't have a child with ADHD
