My (now 10yr old) son has struggled for most of his life. He never quite fit into one specific delay (Speech delay, autism, nor ADHD, etc), but life was always a struggle. We were extremely proactive in seeking out services beginning at the age of 18months old, however, by the age of 7-8 we still had no answers. I felt like we were simply circling the drain of special education with no light at the end of the tunnel. Frankly, I was terrified. I felt helpless. Terrified that I would never be able to pinpoint the problem, nor get him the help he needed. Terrified for my child, for his future. We found Brain Boost and our entire lives have changed - drastically. Not only were they able to help us with an accurate diagnosis and provide INCREDIBLE therapies for my son, but this incredible team of people have been an absolute support system for me as a parent in times of crisis. Through his work at Brain Boost Academy, my son has changed and grown so incredibly, at times we hardly recognize him (in a good way). If I could scream it from the mountain tops I would. If you have ANY feelings of fear or desperation with regards to your child...PLEASE call them. You will not regret it.

Our son, Nathan, started at Brain Boost Academy in October 2019 after we and his teachers noticed that Nathan was not advancing as we thought he would after having competed an extra year of pre-k. He was having difficulty with recall, processing, and attention. He was loving and fun but overall had difficulty communicating with his peers and adults in a meaningful and understandable way. We met with Karyn and the BBA staff and they gave us so much hope. Within months of Nathan starting the program we noticed such big changes. He was more independent, funny, outgoing, and he was no longer my “shadow” child. Within weeks, he was talking more and making sense to others outside of the family; we were so used to being his “translator” to explain his words and thought processes and that was no longer needed. We are now in month 5 and the growth is dramatic. His memory and attention have both expanded to a point I did not think was possible. He is processing and learning and he has such confidence in both. The techniques that Karyn has her staff use are so unique and fun. Nathan loves going to see his coaches, it never feels like a chore but rather his fun activity time. When Nathan started the program he was already such an amazing kid, but something was missing; Karyn and all his coaches found that missing piece for us. The growth he has made is so much more than his recall, processing, and attention; it is global and has changed, for the better, everything about him. I could not rave more about The Brain Boost Academy and staff. If you have any hesitation or reservations, don’t! If you want a fellow parent to talk to, Karyn is free to share our contact information.

When our son was around the age of 4 years old, he started having issues with sleep and showing some sensory related signs. These included BIG emotional outbursts and meltdowns at home, and even impulse control at preschool. He’s always been a spirited child that’s smart and talks a lot, but also has a level of intensity. He was having issues with certain foods and textures and honestly, we were all struggling!We mentioned these things to our Pediatrician, but he wasn’t all that concerned and that’s when we started seeking alternative ways to help our unique child. When we found Brain Boost Academy, we learned about primitive reflex integration and how this would help his early development of mental connections, and how this was the foundation of many of his challenges. We liked the methods they used because they’re rooted in brain science and child development.We received support around his behavior, and for the first time in a long time, I didn’t feel alone!! It was such a pleasure to work with Karyn Lutes at Brain Boost Academy. She listened to the details of our situation, was empathetic, very knowledgeable and had answers for us.Once we started the therapy, very quickly we started seeing improvements in his emotional regulation, sleeping and willingness to eat different textures. He started to go with the flow more and the teachers commented that he was having an easier time with transitions at school. He didn’t seem to have as many massive meltdowns and wasn’t as phased when something didn’t go as planned in the day.Now I’m not so terrified about him starting kindergarten! I would absolutely recommend Brain Boost Academy to my friends and family. We’re so grateful for all the knowledge and loving support we’ve received!

I am so thankful for Brain Boost! We have seen improvements in my sons ability to follow directions, have flexible thinking and in managing his emotions. He is beginning to perform better academically as well.Most importantly, and most amazing is the way he has come ALIVE! He is now sharing thoughts and ideas; I feel like Im getting to know a whole new person!

As a nurse, I see how their methods help connect the dots for children, teens and even adults.  So much has evolved in neuroscience and what we now know about brain development and the ability to make new mental connections in the brain.Up until recently, we didn’t know the brain could lack development in the pathways, which are like roadblocks. And our children developed around those roadblocks. However, science proves we can go back and repair the undeveloped neuro-pathways at any age.I was referred here by a family member who shared about Brain Boost Academy’s unique innovative methods which help people who lack certain early neuro-developmental sequences, which affect attention, learning and daily home life.I know how difficult it is to have a bright child that is very over-active like a little tornado with a short-attention span. I couldn’t keep up with him and had to keep him busy to keep him out of trouble.I learned that with an evaluation, the deficits could be identified and treated specifically and that it would require a developmental one on one program. Seeing the progress before and after has made me a believer. I saw multiple results of how the program works. I wish Brain Boost Academy was available to everyone everywhere!
