LearningRx Dyslexia Video – The Nation’s Most Common Learning Difficulty, Dyslexia, Can Be Defeated With One-On-One Brain Training
Dyslexia – A Learning Difficulty that Affects Your Ability to Read
Imagine that you struggle with reading. Your classmates can speed through a paragraph, but it takes you three times longer. Once you’ve finished the paragraph, you’re asked to relay the information you’ve just read. You can’t recall most or any of it. Letters appear somewhat jumbled and you struggle to distinguish the differences and similarities in words. Maybe when you see new words, you experience difficulty pronouncing them. These are all symptoms of dyslexia, the number one learning difficulty in the nation.
Now ask yourself if working in a quiet room or an allowance of extra time would help you overcome your struggle. Or would you simply be accommodating the problem, instead of fixing it?
“Most schools offer special needs programs, but many students aren’t getting as much help as they
should,” says Dargan Coggeshall, Director of the LearningRx center in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Dyslexia – Training for Reading Success
CBS 19 News anchor, Tiffani Sargent, visits the LearningRx brain training center in Charlottesville to discuss dyslexia and how the one-on-one brain training techniques at LearningRx help those with the learning difficulty.
Sargent tries one of the training techniques, attempting to say the word that her one-on-one brain trainer is feeding her - one sound at a time, backwards. The word she’s given is “fast,” but Sargent guesses “fact” twice before she gets the correct answer.
Dyslexia - Most People Can Overcome The Learning Struggle
After her training, Sargent concludes, “Obviously, easier said than done. The good news is that most people can overcome dyslexia, but Coggeshall says it takes a lot of hard work.”
“After a 24-week reading program, on average, the students here at LearningRx are seeing a three to five year gain in their reading abilities,” says Sargent.
