ADHD Help – Life Before LearningRx vs. Life After LearningRx
Connor breaks his life into 2 parts – life before LearningRx and life after LearningRx.
Connor had been struggling with attention issues and his parents were looking for ADHD help. Prior to his LearningRx training, Connor’s experience with completing homework was frustrating. He was not able to complete most of his work at school and would have to bring it home to complete. However, he had such a hard time focusing and getting his brain engaged, it took hours. And those hours were often filled with frustration and sometimes tears. Looking for ADHD help, his parents had tried counseling and ADHD coaching, but they did not see improvements.
They decided to have Connor complete a cognitive skills assessment at LearningRx. This 90-minute assessment revealed the root cause of Connor’s attention (ADHD) issues – Connor’s processing speed was in the 5th percentile compared to others his age.
His slow processing speed made it extremely difficult for Connor to stay on task as his brain had to work hard to keep up in junior high that he could not complete his work during the school day. He would then come home exhausted and need to complete his work. Now being tired and processing slowly, he would often zone out, get distracted and still need mental breaks – classic symptoms for those diagnosed with ADHD. As Connor was close to entering high school, his parents knew if he was already having to spend hours on homework, this would be unsustainable in high school.
Connor completed his LearningRx training, and his results transformed his school experience! His processing speed jumped from the 5th to the 95th percentile. He was now completing his homework with ease and was no longer frustrated and overwhelmed.
Years later, Connor was able to achieve his dream of attending and excelling in college. If you are looking for ADHD help, call the Eagan location to find out how we can help your loved one. Strategies like ADHD medication or ADHD coaching can help, but these strategies are usually treating the symptom and ignore the root cause – usually cognitive skills weaknesses (like processing speed), that require the brain to work hard to complete tasks. This high level of effort cannot be maintained, and kids zone out or get distracted.
Call the Eagan location today to address the root cause and receive ADHD help for your loved one.
