True Story of Success: Nolan, 7 Years Old

Nolan’s 1st grade teacher informed us at the end of the 2013-14 schoolyear that she’d recommend we talk to our son’s pediatricianabout his lack of focus and inability to sit still. It had become sucha problem that he wasn’t able to finish simple tasks like coloringartwork; he was disorganized and wasn’t turning in his homework.Nolan was often asked to sit out in the hallway or at secluded tablesto complete work. We were also struggling to get Nolan interested in reading;we were never able to find a book or book series that seemed to interestNolan. Homework and reading was a struggle each night. He just didn’twant to sit down and do it, even though we knew he was fully capable.For our bright and very social boy, this was devastating news. To learnour child was struggling at school, when we knew he was smart and morethan able to complete the work, it hurt. We knew we needed to do somethingto help him. We were not interested in going to the doctor for tests,a label or medication for our son. We thought there had to be other avenuesto try first. We had sought out chiropractic care earlier in the yearfor Nolan in hopes that that would help his focus. While the chiropractordid yield some positive results, it did not completely help Nolan withhis attention and focus issues. The chiropractor had mentioned the LearningRxprogram to us and so we went in for the evaluation and started a 16 weekprogram for Nolan. The LearningRx staff was completely committed to Nolanand our family from the first phone call and Nolan’s trainer, Chris,was amazing! We were worried about the program pushing Nolan too far becausehis typical reaction to anything difficult was to give up. Sure, he hada few tough days of training, but Chris just seemed to know how to gentlypush Nolan a little further each time and eventually Nolan had more successesthan challenges and the successes drove him to want to succeed and achievemore and more! It was so rewarding to sit and listen to Nolan’ssuccess during his sessions and to see how much pride he had in his accomplishmentswas incredible. Now that Nolan has graduated from LearningRx, his lifeis different. He is still our amazing, smart, high energy, doesn’t-want-to-sit-stillboy and we love that! The difference is he CAN and DOES sit still whenit matters most. His 2nd grade teacher said that based upon the feedbackfrom Nolan’s 1st grade teacher that he’s a different boy.He has had no issues sitting still, focusing and completing tasks at schoolthis year. He’s learning to enjoy art class now that he can sit,focus and enjoy. He’s more organized and is turning his homeworkin daily like he’s supposed to. We rarely struggle to get him tosit down and do his homework and he’s a reading machine! I haveno doubt that we made the right decision in choosing LearningRx for ourson. It’s changed his life and it’s changed our life. Eventhe dynamics in our busy household of five are calmer since Nolan hascompleted the LearningRx program. LearningRx was a huge time commitmentfor the entire family and it is a journey of commitment that I will foreverbe thankful that we embarked upon. I would highly recommend the LearningRxprogram to anyone whose son or daughter is struggling in school; it’sa game changer and it’s a gift of a lifetime. And one of the coolestthings is that Nolan recognizes the change in his abilities as well. Heknows his brain was trained to do better and he embraces that. Thank you,LearningRx!
