True Story: Michael, 12 Years Old

We knew that Michael processed information differently from most childrenpractically from birth. A neuropsychological test in third grade showedwhat we already knew and proved to his teachers that he was not ADD asmany often suggested to us. Armed with the results of six hours of testing,I went in search of programs, methods, and even counseling to help ourson. Other than the counseling I found next to nothing that addressedMichael’s needs—not in the community, not in the schools.

Then a miracle occurred! I received a mailing from LearningRx. After researchingthe company and its founder on the Internet, I knew this was what I hadbeen looking for. After three and a half years of searching, the answerwas suddenly on my kitchen counter. I was even more convinced after attendingthe introductory seminar with the center director.

Michael is a child who needs to feel he’s not overbooked with toomany obligations. He absolutely loves soccer but would still complainabout having to put in several hours of practice time every week. Naturally,I was worried when I heard that the LearningRx partner program requiredsix hours every week. Imagine my shock when I only heard one complaintduring the entire 12 weeks! Michael actually enjoyed the time he spenttraining, whether at home or at the center. He really looked forward toseeing his trainer and showing her what he’d mastered.

LearningRx has been a wonderful gift to us. The positive environment, encouragementfrom Michael’s trainer, and fun exercises have not only increasedhis capacity to learn but have raised his level of self-esteem. He hasgreater confidence in his ability to learn, proven to him through thebrain training program!

I am excited to see how and where he will apply these new found skillsin seventh grade this fall. We already know that his basic math skillshave improved as well as his reading and spelling abilities. Thank youfor a great program!
