True Story of Success: Evan, 12 Years Old

Frustration, tears, and fighting – all over homework! Every nightwas the same. Evan would go into his room to do homework. Thirty minuteslater very little was accomplished – too quiet and too many distractions.Homework at the dining room table was not any better – too noisyand again, too many distractions. Our lives and activities were dictatedby the amount of homework. Our fourth grader, Evan, still loved schoolbut we knew that if we didn’t do something to help him with hisfrustration that would probably change.

One morning, after dropping the kids off at school, I stopped in at LearningRx.They listened to my frustrations and talked with me about their program.They seemed to understand what we were going through. Finally we feltthere was hope!

We met with Rich and reviewed Evan’s assessment. He explained whereEvan was struggling, why he was having so much frustration, and he offeredus a plan. After perfectly matching Evan with his trainer, Hannah, wegot started. We opted for the joint training – half with Hannahand the other half at home. We were skeptical because of how the homeworkhad been going. The encouragement that Evan received was the perfect complementto the confidence they were building in him. He was feeling successfulwith each level that he passed. Here’s the unexpected advantage– he was having fun while doing the training! He loved it –never complained about it. We were supported so well by the staff forour home training. They were always asking how things were going, encouraging,and offering advice and tips to ensure all went smoothly.

Fast forward to almost two years later. Evan is now a sixth grader whostill loves school! Most of his homework is completed at school or quicklyafter school. It doesn’t even matter what’s going on aroundhim – quiet or noise. No more tears, frustration, or fighting overhomework. Evan is able to use the skills and coping techniques he learnedand has trained his brain to think a different way. Rich checks in withus periodically to see how Evan is doing and we are still invited to manyof the fun events.

We are so blessed to have found LearningRx. It has truly changed our familylife. Evan is able to do extra-curricular activities, hang out with friends,and our evenings and weekends are no longer dictated by the homework.

Thank you LearningRx for this lifelong training and for instilling confidence in Evan.
