Help for Kids and Teens with ADHD in Reston

Having ADHD can make it difficult to focus and concentrate, ignore distractions, and control impulses. The good news? Attention skills can be strengthened with the right kind of training.

Interventions for ADHD need to target more than attention, though. In fact, those that focus only on attention are missing the boat! Research shows working memory, long-term memory, and processing speed are also problematic for those with ADHD.

At LearningRx, we strengthen all the cognitive skills needed to help kids with ADHD make the most of their unique talents!

LearningRx was an answer to our prayers to help our 13-year-old with ADHD. His improvement exceeded our expectations! He now has the ability to succeed in school and life and is so much happier.”

Personalized Training for Children with ADHD

Every learner with ADHD has a unique cognitive profile. In fact, two people with ADHD could have trouble focusing for completely different reasons!

To deliver the right kind of ADHD help, we start with a skills assessment. This allows us to identify the brain skills with the most room for growth in each client.

For learners with ADHD, a brain training plan could focus on broad attention skills. Often, we will focus on specific attention skills, such as how to stay focused for long periods or how to avoid mid-task distractions. We can also work on strengthening skills like short-term memory, long-term memory, and mental processing speed, which can be tied to ADHD.

While these skills are all common targets for learners with an ADHD diagnosis, we may focus on other skills for individual learners. It all depends on the results of each client’s skills assessment!

While individual results may vary, we’d love the opportunity to work with you or your child!

Brain Training or Tutoring for Kids and Teens with ADHD

Finding ADHD help for kids and teens can be challenging. Many parents start by hiring a tutor. If ADHD students haven’t built core learning skills, they will still have trouble learning with a tutor. Even with tutoring, grades will often stay the same.

Brain training offers a different approach to ADHD than tutoring — and it comes with much different results.

Tutoring can be a good fit for students who:

  • Have missed classes due to illness
  • Have recently moved to a new school
  • Are learning from a substitute teacher
  • Benefit from reviewing class materials

Brain training is a great choice fit for students who:

  • Need to work harder or longer on schoolwork than peers
  • Have trouble focusing on lessons and assignments
  • Are having difficulty with core skills, like reading or math
  • Have tried tutoring in the past but haven’t seen results
