BALANCE Organization

(Bringing Alternative Learning and Nutritional Choices to Education)

Belief Statement

The BALANCE (Bringing Alternative Learning and Nutritional Choices to Education) non-profit organization believes it is necessary to support today's public educational budget which is not adequate to address the many complicated special needs of students within our local schools. The organization seeks to support student success in the school and home setting by bringing alternative supplemental programs to public education and the home.

Mission Statement

The BALANCE organization will address the needs of students with severe disabilities in a collaborative model with private and public organizations, parents and public schools working together. Individuals will benefit from support in the areas of nutrition, respite services, educational therapies, and alternative education.

Program Objectives

Specific Goals include:

• Provide health enhancement therapy based on analysis of blood, hair, stool and urine testing
• Provide therapies that support learning in the areas of the multiple intelligences. Focused support will address the child's strength, not necessarily his/her disability
• Provide parent education, Involvement, and Support through established school and home partnerships.
• Provide educational therapies for children with special needs in the community.
• Provide action research where therapies can be used and the impact on student outcomes measured
• Establish a clearinghouse of information for parents
