From Distracted to Driven – Transforming Mason’s Attention Skills

Mason was an energetic child – hyperactive. LearningRx changed him from being distracted to driven with his training focused on transforming Mason’s attention skills. Prior to LearningRx, his parents felt he would outgrow these attention issues, but it was not happening.   School was progressing but Mason’s attention skills were not improving. 

It was impacting his academics as everything took him longer and he struggled to focus.  He was not able to finish his work during class and would miss out on activities.

They enrolled Mason at LearningRx and he complete an individualized, 1-on-1 cognitive skills training program.  Mason loved his training, and his parents and teachers are seeing significant improvements! Like Mason, we have helped many students go from distracted to driven by addressing the root cause and transforming attention skills!

At home Mason is no longer as wiggly.  His mom, Lindsey, shared that he no longer falls off his chair which is something that happened frequently before LearningRx.  And now that Mason is able to be still and focus, he loves to read.  He now reads on his own vs. always asking his parents to read to him.

Mason is also able to complete his work faster now that he is more focused which means he does not miss out on anything at school.  He is completing his work in the normal amount of time.

For those looking for attention or ADHD help and hoping to transform attention skills, it is so important to find an intervention that addresses the root cause.  There are many options available including ADHD medication, accommodations or ADHD coaching.  While these may help in the short term, these strategies do not address the root cause of attention issues and students often continue to struggle as school becomes more difficult.  The result?  A constant need for school interventions, accommodations and tutoring.   

LearningRx training is different.  Our initial assessment identifies the root cause as to why a child struggles with attention and we create an individualized training program to address these issues. 

For students who struggle with attention, it is common that attention is actually NOT the root cause of their difficulties, but a symptom.  Peer-reviewed research shows that for those with ADHD or attention issues, skills like processing speed and memory are often lower than attention.  Because of these weaknesses, a child’s brain has to work much harder to accomplish a task which makes them more likely to zone out or get distracted over time.    Rather than simply encouraging ADHD medication, our goal at LearningRx is to address the root cause to hopefully avoid this strategy.
