Give your child or teen “ninja” brain skills! December 5 is International Ninja Day and LearningRx is celebrating the informal definition of the word: "a person who excels in a particular skill or activity." When families come to LearningRx, we often learn that the child or teen has had their confidence deflated by labels—some informally, some with an official diagnosis. These students (and their parents) are looking for something to unlock their potential for learning. Luckily, that’s what one-on-one brain training does! In fact, we’ve received countless testimonials from our 100,000+ graduates that LearningRx personal brain training helped create confident, focused, excited and empowered independent learners. How LearningRx boosts ninja brain skills We start with a one-hour Brain Skills Assessment, which tells us which cognitive skills are strong and which could use some training. Cognitive skills are the core skills your brain uses to think, read, learn, remember, reason, and pay attention. Together, they work to move incoming information into the bank of knowledge that your student uses every day at school (and in life!). Cognitive skills include processing speed, attention, memory, visual and auditory processing, and logic & reasoning. If even one of these skills is weak, learning can be a struggle. Using the results of the Brain Skills Assessment, we create a brain training program that’s customized to your student’s needs. Your student works one on one with their personal brain trainer, who will use intense but fun brain training exercises to target and strengthen the cognitive skills that need it most. Parents of graduates of our program frequently tell us that their child is not only a stronger, faster learner, but also much more confident! But you don’t have to take our word for it; check out our "Student Shoutouts" videos to hear from clients (and their parents) in their own words. If you’re worried about the damage labels are doing to your student’s self-esteem, we encourage you to boost their ninja brain skills with LearningRx personal brain training.
