LearningRx – Centennial

The improvement we’ve seen in our son is nothing short of astounding! And we can’t say enough great things about Shantal and Amanda. Great support, great feedback.

We have had a GREAT experience with Learning RX! From the staff to the results our son has had! We finished our program last week and the test scores we saw tonight were unbelievable! Our son is doing great in school now, has more confidence and is so happy with what he has gained! Thank you RX for everything! It’s a huge commitment; time and financial, but it was 100% worth it!

Learning Rx has made life-​changing improvements in our son’s life. We came to Learning Rx, Cherry Creek hoping for a miracle when our 5^th grade son had been struggling in school since Kindergarten. We had tried public school, private school, homeschool, tutors, IEP’s… everything!
At Learning Rx, our 10-​year-​old son measured near the bottom of each cognitive skills test performed on his initial assessment. Of course, the financial investment of the program was extremely difficult for our one-​income family, but we knew something had to be done to breakthrough to our academically struggling son. Most of us have a limited amount of financial resources, but it’s how we choose to invest our resources that affect our desired outcomes. We chose to invest in our son’s academic, professional, and character development using Learning Rx as a tool. I am so thankful we made that choice in February of 2013.
We spent 3 days a week for eleven months with our trainer, and he made all the difference in the world. The one-​on-​one brain training, not only helped our son read more fluently, think and process faster, but learning is now easier for him too. He has a better memory and ability to concentration. Our son is performing better in the classroom and on the wrestling mat.
After comparing his post and pre tests, Cherry Creek Learning Rx even offered to let our son have additional training to boost growth in a few areas without any extra investment on our end, even with a optimistic cumulative growth with which we were thrilled!
For us, the best part of brain training at Learning Rx came with our son’s increase in self-​esteem and confidence. He has a «can-​do» attitude about life now that no one can take away from him. Does he still utilize his IEP? Yes, but even his teachers have informed us that he may not get to keep it after this year!
Thank you, Learning Rx, and I hope this review is helpful to any struggling parents considering Learning Rx.

Our son had struggled through the last couple years of elementary school, but his difficulties in school didn’t really become apparent until his first year of middle school. Homework was a daily frustration and he could not seem to stay organized — so, even when he was able to complete his homework, he would sometimes forget to turn it in or it would get lost.
On the recommendation of a co-​worker whose son had done brain training through LearningRx, we had our son tested. The results showed that his memory and executive processing were way below where they should be.
Our son completed the 20-​week program which focused on memory and executive processing, based on his test results, but also focused on math and writing skills, which were weak due to his struggles in school. Kristin was his trainer & I cannot speak highly enough of her. She built a rapport with our son & always challenged him to keep trying & to push beyond what he thought he was capable of.
Our son started his second year of middle school a completely different kid from the one who’d finished 6^th grade just a few months before. Staff members — who did not know that he’d done the LearningRx program — commented that his self-​esteem was so much better than the year before — not just in class, but also in his interactions with other students. Last year, he struggled to achieve a passing grade in math. This year, his math teacher’s comments read, «…exemplary student». I don’t want to give the impression that it’s a cure-​all, however. Our son is still working on developing good organizational habits, so he does still occasionally lose his homework. (He’s still a middle school boy, after all…)
Things you should know up front:
1. It is expensive. (But, if I think about what my son’s college & career prospects would be if he had not done this program & had instead continued to struggle through middle school & high school, I think the cost is completely worth it.)
2. It is a time commitment. Our son’s program was 20 weeks, 4 times/​week. (Go into it knowing that you will be spending a lot of time driving there for a few months. Again, in the long-​term scheme of things, it is worth it.)
