What is the Return on Investment of Brain Training?

Many educational interventions are available, and individuals need to find the right solution for their specific needs and goals. We will take a deep dive into the returns individuals could see through a LearningRx program compared to individuals who do not go through a brain training program. These returns could include confidence, less educational costs, and more success in career and life.

When someone struggles in school, work, or life and can’t focus on what is causing the issues they are experiencing, it could result from their cognitive skills. These skills include attention, working and long-term memory, visual processing, auditory processing, and logic and reasoning. These skills are the foundation of how we think and learn. If these skills are not strong, then learning in school and performing tasks in life may be hindered.

Here are the top three returns on investment from a LearningRx brain training program:

1. Confidence

When an individual’s performance is slow because of their cognitive skills, their self-esteem may suffer. It may be harder for someone who feels slower or less intelligent than others to take risks. As long as their cognitive skills are low, their self-esteem may be low. Through a LearningRx brain training program, a trainer will work on the cognitive abilities an individual needs to take on life’s challenges. The trainer will use specific brain training exercises to build the skills holding individuals back. Once these skills are built, individuals can take on any challenge because they have the right tools to help them learn, think and perform at their best.

2. Fewer Intervention Expenses

Parents of struggling students often resort to tutoring or other educational interventions to help their students in school. While these services can help students re-learn material and take a deeper dive into academic subjects, they may not be getting to the root of the issue. If a student is having trouble grasping information, it might result from cognitive skills. Any intervention, including brain training, is an investment in time and money. But LearningRx brain training gets to the root of the struggle to help individuals conquer all of life’s challenges, while tutoring or other remedial services only focus on academic knowledge. Once an individual has strong cognitive skills processing information from any academic subject will be easier- making it less likely that a student will need remedial help later on in life.

3. Success in the Future

Cognitive skills are the building blocks to learning and thinking. It’s the mental tools we use to process information. Imagine if these tools were lost. How successful in life would an individual be? It’s easy to understand how vital cognitive skills are to a person’s ability to learn, grow, and succeed in life. For example, learn about Elizabeth’s story.

Elizabeth is a teacher and had trouble reading and writing. She felt ashamed of her abilities, especially as an adult in an elementary school setting. It wasn’t until after her LearningRx program that she began to read books and participate more at her school. There was a moment in her career where she realized she was surviving and not thriving, and her job was in jeopardy. Now, she says, “I feel smart.” Because she decided to work on her cognitive skills she can now experience what it means to thrive in her career.

LearningRx brain training can impact the outcome of a person’s entire life. It doesn’t just help pass classes; it has a lasting impact on every course, challenge, and future success. The return on investment of a LearningRx program ripple through every area of a person’s life and can continue to show returns for years to come.
