LearningRx Shoreview

Is your child dreading the school year? Often, this dislike of school actually stems from cognitive skill weaknesses.

When you improve their brain's ability to process information and learn, suddenly school doesn't seem so bad any more!

While this is the result of past clients and we can't guarantee the same outcomes for everyone, don't let this school year be a repeat of the tears, frustration, and struggle that so many kids deal with. Call us today to learn how improving your child's resilience and cognitive capacity for learning could make all the difference!

Kids can't play a sport without a physical... but we send them into the classroom without evaluating brain strength and readiness all the time.

This year doesn't have to be a repeat of the same struggles! Cognitive assessments shed light on which skills are strong and weak so you can identify...

→ Reasons for continued struggles year after year, despite accommodations or intervention
→ Root-cause ways to improve reading, focus, math, comprehension, and more
→ Potential pitfalls BEFORE they happen (so young students can avoid years of unnecessary struggle)
→ A path forward for students who have been beaten down by the school system and are already disenchanted with learning.

Call us today and *mention this post* to get your discounted assessment and make sure your child is set up to succeed this school year!

LearningRx CEO Kim Hanson was recently interviewed on podcast! Check out this episode to learn...

Do you wish your kids could just think a little bit faster? Slow processing speed often looks like...

→ Being the last to finish tests or assignments
→ Being slow to follow directions or complete tasks (like getting ready for the day)
→ Struggling with reading and comprehension
→ Seeming to be forgetful (but they just lose the info before they can use it)
→ Inability to multitask
→ Getting overwhelmed with too much going on around them

Improving processing speed can help students excel in many areas of life! Call us today to learn more.

"The changes I saw with the program were amazing. I suffered a traumatic brain injury and due to this I was struggling in school, at home, with daily tasks, and socially. After completing the program, I'm remembering information in school and passing with flying colors.

I used to feel very foggy, confused and irritated throughout the day because it was so hard to focus or remember anything.

Now that I've done the program, I can get through my day-to-day much easier and faster, I can process information faster and better, and I can also hold conversations now with friends and family without getting confused and forgetting what we are talking about."

😍😍 We love seeing stories like these! If you or someone you love has suffered a TBI, concussion, or is struggling to keep up with life, give us a call today to learn more about our brain training programs.

In a survey completed by parents of school-aged LearningRx graduates, participants reported that their students experienced less academic difficulty after completing LearningRx brain training. In a control group, by comparison, academic difficulty actually increased within the same time period.

When the brain is functioning more efficiently, learning becomes easier—and that is good news for the whole family!

Check out the rest of this family's story:

"Our child has grown tremendously over the past 6 months. Our child was really struggling with motivation to learn because it was hard in many different ways. Once we started with LearningRx after about 3 months into our sessions, was when we noticed that our child was able to just pick up books and go without fighting/avoiding the work - especially vocab, reading, and spelling assignments. Now that we have completed all training, our child can complete these assignments in 15 minutes versus the 2 hours it took us before."

Is this the kind of breakthrough you want to see in your child? While every situation is unique and outcomes may vary, we'd love to connect about how you can unlock easier, faster learning for your whole family. Give us a call today to get started!

Children and adolescents with ADHD face so many struggles in day-to-day life. It's not just about trouble focusing... many areas of learning, interacting with parents or peers, and functioning in the world are impacted by weak cognitive skills.

And what most people don't realize is that attention is *not* the weakest skill in most ADHD cognitive profiles—which is why interventions that only target attention aren't really getting to the root cause of what's causing a child's struggles with thinking and learning.

LearningRx has a different approach. Our in-depth cognitive assessment will show us exactly why a student is struggling and where the intervention needs to focus in order to create lasting change in the way their brain processes information.

When individuals come to us looking for help after a brain injury, this is one of the biggest areas where we see growth during and after training!

When cognitive skills are targeted and strengthened, so many areas of life are impacted—and that has been life-changing for so many adults and kids.

While individual outcomes may vary, we'd love the chance to share more about our brain injury research and brain training programs. Call us today to learn more!

Auditory processing is a foundational skill for all things language: speech, communication, reading, spelling, and so much more. Lots of kids (and adults!) have auditory processing deficits—and many don't even realize the signs. Tune into this episode of podcast to hear Sandy and Dr. Jody unpack how to recognize, address, and treat auditory processing deficits or disorders!

The brain suffers when we're stressed, and that's probably not a surprise. We all know that feeling of being foggy, forgetful, and unmotivated during stressful times... but what causes this to happen? Check out this short video where Dr. Amy Moore explains how chronic stress keeps your brain from creating memories, managing emotions, and forming new connections: https://youtu.be/5aE9fu5ISzc

Research studies have shown changes in the brain following training at LearningRx. What does this mean?

You don't have to settle for "this is just the way things are." Whether you're a parent trying to help a child navigate learning challenges or you have concerns about your own focus and memory, there are powerful tools to help you change the way your brain processes the world.

fMRI scans in our studies have found improved connectivity between key areas of the brain following training, correlated with improvements on cognitive test scores. Call us today to learn more!

Once kids improve their confidence and skills, it's so fun to watch them blossom and begin to love learning.

*This is one family's experience and something we hear often, but individual results may vary.

Phonological awareness is one of the most foundational skills that is essential for successful reading. LearningRx brain training programs target this skill—along with things like auditory processing, visual processing, memory, logic, and more—to help struggling readers!

This is the outcome of a scientific study and individual results may vary, but we'd love to talk about how brain training may help your child improve reading skills this year!

Clients who come through our doors have a wide range of experiences, and dyslexia is one of those things that we see often.

What's important to realize is that there are MANY types of dyslexia, and each one has a different root cause. Weaknesses in certain cognitive skills can significantly impact a child's success with reading and spelling, which is why an individualized approach is so important.

Call us today to learn more about our reading skills training options!

If you're worried that your child may not really be ready for next school year, summer can be a great time to build some momentum and gain some ground. But what should you do?

Tutoring is the more traditional approach, and in some cases it is helpful. But for students who struggle year after year or who have difficulties across subject areas, it may not be the most effective tool.

Check out this episode of the Brainy Moms podcast to hear more about these two types of learning interventions and how to make the right decision for your family this summer!

If you have a child who's wrapping up the school year falling behind, losing confidence, and struggling to engage in school, summer is a great time to work on these core learning skills that impact all areas of life.

When it comes to supporting individuals with ADHD, addressing attention struggles may be the first thing that comes to mind. After all, it's an attention deficit, right?

Not necessarily. Research has actually found that in ADHD cognitive profiles, 3 skills tend to be more deficient. Those skills are:

🧠Working memory
🧠Long-term memory
🧠And processing speed.

If we're not addressing the root cause of the struggle, we aren't going to see lasting change. This is why a well-rounded and individualized approach is so important!

We love seeing the way these students grow, change, and thrive thanks to having stronger brain skills!

Every brain is unique so your outcomes may or may not be the same, but we'd love the chance to chat with you about the power of brain training for kids and adults with ADHD.

How do we help our kids learn to make good decisions and think critically? Strong logic skills are one of the key elements of laying this solid foundation for thinking, learning, and life, and this episode of the Brainy Moms podcast breaks down some helpful information about:

👉Identifying behaviors and traits that indicate strong (or weak) logic skills
👉Why other skills need to be in place before you can expect kids to think critically
👉How effective reasoning skills play into decision-making (especially in the teen years)
👉And more!
