Devon's LearningRx Story
“Although Devon was diagnosed with ADHD in first grade, most of his teachers chose to believe that failure was a choice he consciously made because he could do the work sometimes. They liked to believe that he could do the work all the time, but chose not to. These attitudes, and the constant failures, beat down his self-esteem to the point that he tried to be invisible at school. I tried to argue in IEP meetings that as soon as we all stop believing that Devon can be made to fit the mold, we can start figuring out what might actually help him.
The big problem was that I had no idea what the problem was! Sure, he has many textbook characteristics of ADHD but there seemed to be a great cognitive disconnect that neither he nor I could at all understand. Then we tested at LearningRx—as soon as the results were in, I saw on paper the disconnect that had baffled me for so long and which had compromised Devon’s quality of life: a low executive processing speed score. We signed up for ThinkRx and Devon’s accomplishments absolutely astounded me throughout the course. The staff was so supportive and enthusiastic, it was infectious. One month into the new school year, Devon has proven that he can be much more responsible for his school work than ever before. He knows, for the first time in many years, that failure is not inevitable. He believes in himself!”

“My child was severely behind. Thanks to this program and the incredible trainer Nicholas had, he has improved so much. His self-esteem has improved along with his learning and reading skills. Also, if that wasn’t enough, he brought home the best report card that he has ever had in his life. Thanks so much to the staff for making this a wonderful, positive experience for Nicholas.”

“Kelsey is more self-confident, goal-oriented, focused and able to multi-task as a result of her training. She is more enthusiastic towards her studies – more prepared for her college pre-tests and more able to handle long projects. As a result of her increasing self-confidence with her new skills, it has allowed her to be more self-confident with her high school peers as well as her colleagues at work. She is more organized, sets goals and follows through. She definitely will complete projects now, ones that she shied away from in the past. Fabulous experience.”

“I have seen huge improvements in her reading fluency. She enjoys reading and will actually read a whole book. It doesn’t take her as long to finish her books either. Her self-confidence is higher. She has moved into the gifted and talented program at school.”

“The greatest successes I have seen in my child as a result of her training at LearningRx are her increased maturity, self-confidence, and her ability to self-advocate. She no longer feels defeated but no knows she has the tools to succeed and that change in attitude filters down to all areas of learning. Several times she has told me that she really misses LearningRx and wishes she were still in the program.”

“Alex has started this year in school so much better. He is a 6th grader who read at a 2nd grade level and is now reading 6th grade. With math, he started at 3rd grade level and is now in 6th-7th grade math. He has gone from C’s, D’s and F’s and turning in no homework to A’s, B’s and C’s and turning in all homework. His self-esteem has gone up, so now we do not hear “I can’t do this” we hear “I can do this, it’s easy.” Math has become so easy for him that he has skipped 120 lessons in one week. Reading has become fun for him instead of a chore. I want to say thank you for all you did. The program does work!”

“Devon has always struggled in school, and with everyday tasks. He began medication at the age of 11. The medication helped with keeping him focused but left him tired, unanimated and he had no appetite and lost weight. He is now off his medication and after being through the LearningRx program, is able to function just as well off his medication, but with no side-effects. Devon actually enjoys reading now and does it for fun. He is more confident and focused. We now have the tools to continue to improve.”

“I am so fortunate to have found LearningRx! I was aware of the problems my son was having comprehending things he read, but his grades didn’t reflect that. The school continued to give Michael A’s and B’s so it made it difficult to make my husband see that there was a problem. So when I heard about LearningRx, I told my husband we should have Michael tested and proceed from there. Once we got the results, there was no question that something had to be done. So we signed Michael up that night and we couldn’t be happier that we did! After the first 2 weeks we saw a marked improvement in Michael’s reading. As the lessons continued, he would no longer guess at words. Instead, he would take the time to use the skills he learned and sound out the word, and to see the smile on this face when he got a “long” word correct was priceless. His confidence level has risen as well; reading aloud is no longer something he fears. I would recommend this program to any parent that is willing to put in the time and effort to help their child excel.”

“I cannot express enough how thankful I am that I found LearningRx. There is such an improvement in my son, both in his ability to read and in his self-confidence. He now is excited to go to school to show off what he has learned. My husband and I truly believe that this was the best thing we could have done for our son. It is so nice to see him smile and be excited when he reads, instead of seeing him so frustrated and upset. Not only is the program a wonderful thing but all the people who work for LearningRx are amazing. I want to thank each and every person involved with Vincent. You guys are the best!! Thank you so much for everything! Keep up the great work!”
