Where Every Family Matters

Cognitive Learning & Tutoring with LearningRx

LearningRx strives to create a welcoming, gym-like atmosphere where people of all ages and abilities are welcome to show up as themselves and work toward their individualized goals. Much like working with a personal trainer to strengthen our muscles, we work with students one-on-one to strengthen core cognitive skills through rigorous, game-like exercises. Brain training is fun; it’s vibrant; and it’s focused on results.

On average, we see a 14-point increase in IQ and 4-year reading gains in as little as 24 weeks. 

LearningRx has helped people with ADHD and attention struggles, dyslexia and reading struggles, TBIs and concussions, and other learning differences.

While our most common clients are students not seeing their effort reflected in their grades or test scores, we work with anyone over the age of 5, including high-achieving career professionals and seniors looking to stay sharp.

How to Get Started: 

  1. Cognitive Skills Assessment: Each individual completes a 45-minute assessment to determine cognitive strengths and weaknesses. This assessment reveals why certain tasks are more difficult than others. 
  2. Personalized Training Program: Driven by 35 years of clinical research and a long-standing partnership with Louisiana State’s Neuroscience Department, LearningRx delivers personalized training programs based on assessment results. Programs target each student’s specific areas of need.
  3. One-on-One Training: Training is conducted one-on-one with a cognitive trainer. The sessions involve engaging mental exercises designed to challenge and improve specific cognitive skills, such as working and long-term memory, processing speed, attention, auditory and visual processing and logic and reasoning.
  4. Regular Progress Monitoring: Progress is regularly monitored through parent and trainer observations and follow-up assessments. 

Benefits for Children:

  1. Improved Academic Performance: By enhancing cognitive skills such as memory, attention, and processing speed, children see improvements in their academic performance.
  2. Better Attention and Focus: Programs designed to improve attention can help children who struggle with focus and concentration in school and other activities. Athletes often rave about their improved cognitive performance on the field and court.
  3. Enhanced Problem-Solving Skills: Strengthening problem-solving and critical thinking skills can help children in both academic and real-life situations.
  4. Boosted Confidence and Self-Esteem: As children improve their cognitive abilities and see the results in their schoolwork and daily life, their confidence and self-esteem increase. Often times, the first improvements parents notice is a willingness to try new and hard things.
  5. Support for Neurodivergent Learners: LearningRx programs can be particularly beneficial for children with learning differences such as dyslexia, ADHD, and other cognitive challenges. Reach out for access to our Client Outcomes and Research to learn more on a particular learning difference.

LearningRx stands out in the educational landscape by focusing on cognitive training rather than traditional tutoring. By targeting the underlying cognitive skills essential for effective learning and thinking, LearningRx offers a unique and valuable service that can complement and enhance traditional educational methods.
