About Us
At Brain Balance of Oakland County, we don’t just manage symptoms—we change lives by addressing the root causes of neurodevelopmental challenges. Since 2015, our Board Certified Center has helped kids aged 4-18 overcome obstacles in attention, behavior, and social-emotional growth. We are known for our "Best Staff" awards and our commitment to a holistic, integrative approach to brain health.
Why This Role Matters
As a Coach, you are the engine of our program. You aren't just "watching" kids; you are guiding them through a scientifically-backed protocol that builds new neural pathways. You will be the person who helps a student finally gain the focus they need to succeed in school or the emotional control to thrive at home.
The Daily Reality
This is a high-energy, detail-oriented role. Unlike a classroom where every day is a surprise, our program is highly structured. You will:
- Lead students through 1-on-1 or partnered sensory-motor and cognitive exercises.
- Execute a specific, prescribed program with 100% accuracy.
- Document data in real-time as the student works.
- Maintain a "firm but fair" environment where students feel safe but challenged.
What Success Looks Like
- In 30 Days: You are fully trained on the Brain Balance protocol and can lead a session solo while maintaining accurate data logs.
- In 60 Days: You’ve built strong rapport with your regular students and can manage behavioral "big feelings" with calm, professional boundaries.
- In 90 Days: You are a proactive member of the team, anticipating center needs and providing insightful feedback on student progress.
Must-Haves
- The Schedule: Available every M/W/Th from 1:00 PM to 8:00 PM.
- The Vibe: Warm and positive, yet firm and authoritative. You like kids, but you know how to lead them.
- The Physicality: Ability to lift 50 lbs and move from a kneeling/crouching position to standing repeatedly.
- The Background: Proven experience working with children with ADHD or ASD, or experience with behavioral interventions (ABA, teaching, coaching, para-professionals, or martial arts).
