Learning Disabilities & Neurodevelopmental Delays Treatment in Jacksonville FL
Targeted Functional Neurology and rehabilitation to strengthen brain connections, enhance processing speed, and improve academic function
Learning Disabilities (such as Dyslexia, Dysgraphia, and Dyscalculia) and Neurodevelopmental Delays involve challenges in the brain's ability to receive, process, or communicate information effectively. These are not character flaws, but failures of specific neural circuits. Symptoms manifest as struggles with reading, writing, math, motor coordination, or following complex instructions, leaving children behind their peers and affecting self-esteem.
At the Brain Optimization Institute in Jacksonville, FL, we understand that these issues are rooted in the brain's ability to synchronize and integrate information—specifically between the cerebellum, cortex, and brainstem. A common finding is unintegrated Primitive Reflexes or poor eye tracking skills.
We use the BrainOp Reconnection SystemTM—a personalized, evidence-based approach that combines Functional Neurology to drive neuroplastic changes in the brain's processing centers with Neurological Rehabilitation to integrate foundational sensory-motor skills.
Our framework for optimizing learning is built on five essential pillars to help children bridge developmental gaps, enhance focus, and achieve academic success:
Reconnect your brain and nervous system
Reconnect to your purpose by releasing trauma
Reconnect to foods and environments you love
Reconnect to pain-free movement
Reconnect to the life you want
Learning & Developmental Challenges We Support
We most often work with Jacksonville and Florida residents struggling with:
-
Dyslexia and Reading Difficulties
Challenges with phonological awareness, fluency, and comprehension often linked to poor eye tracking.
-
Dysgraphia
Difficulties with writing, fine motor control, and organizing thoughts on paper.
-
Processing Speed Deficits
Taking a long time to complete tasks, follow instructions, or respond in conversations.
-
Unintegrated Primitive Reflexes
Underlying patterns that interfere with motor control, balance, and visual skills.
-
Coordination Issues
Clumsiness, poor sports performance, and difficulty with fine motor tasks.
Our care focuses on intensive, targeted rehabilitation to strengthen the foundational brain areas responsible for coordination, timing, and sensory integration.
How We Assess Neurodevelopmental Delays
Every child begins with a comprehensive, objective evaluation to pinpoint the specific developmental and neurological bottlenecks.
Our Testing Includes:
Neurological Assessments
Detailed eye movement analysis, vestibular/balance testing, and evaluation for retained Primitive Reflexes.
Sensory-Motor Testing
Objective measurement of coordination, timing, and fine/gross motor skills.
Cognition Evaluation
Assessment of attention, working memory, and processing speed relevant to learning.
Laboratory Testing
When needed, we evaluate metabolic factors, nutrient status, and immune/inflammatory factors (like food sensitivities) that compromise brain function.
This whole-body assessment allows us to design a precise rehabilitation plan to build a stronger foundation for lifelong learning.
Your Next Step
Learning disabilities and developmental delays may be part of your story, but they don't have to define your future. At Brain Optimization Institute, we believe every patient can reconnect with resilience, purpose, and health.
If you’re ready to explore a new path — one that addresses the whole you, not just your symptoms — we invite you to take the first step.
