Early Brain Development Shapes Lifelong Well-Being

At NeuroBalance Family Wellness, we follow Dr. Robert Melillo’s research showing that many mental and behavioral challenges begin with early brain development. Babies are born with primitive reflexes—basic movements that help them grow and engage with the world. These reflexes should naturally integrate by age 1–2. When they do not integrate, they can interfere with healthy brain development.

When reflexes remain active, communication between brain regions can become unbalanced. This imbalance may appear as ADHD, Autism, anxiety, dyslexia, sensory issues, or other challenges.

The Melillo Method uses three areas of focus to correct the root cause: primitive reflex integration, core stabilization and hemispheric stimulation. This proven approach developed by Dr. Robert Melillo restores these imbalances, improving social, emotional, and behavioral issues.
