At LearningRx, the first step towards helping you or your loved one is to complete a cognitive skills assessment.
The LearningRx assessment is a different type of assessment than a school or tutoring assessment. These assessments usually provide information related to academic performance – at what level does my child read? How is her reading comprehension? At what percentile is my child performing in math?
This information can be helpful, but the cognitive skills assessment from LearningRx will tell you why your child is struggling in these areas. This is invaluable and a critical question to answer. Why does my child struggle to read? Why does my son have difficulty with attention? Why is she not motivated?
My wife and I experienced this first hand. Our youngest daughter was struggling and completed a full neuropsychological evaluation. As a result, she was diagnosed with ADHD, receptive and expressive language delays and sensory integration disorder. This was interesting, but we were still left wondering “why” and what we could do beyond treating the symptoms with ADHD medication and an IEP. Our eyes were opened after her LearningRx assessment revealed one of her struggles was slow processing speed. This low cognitive skill was the root cause of her attention issues as her brain had to work so hard to process, that she could not maintain this high level of energy and she would zone out or get distracted. She also struggled with reading. She was getting reading help at school, but we were not seeing improvement. The assessment uncovered that her reading difficulties were due to low memory and auditory processing. Having this information helped us better relate and sympathize with our daughter and provided the insights we needed to address the root cause and help her overcome her struggles. Catie is about to get her degree, loves reading and has been off her ADHD medication for years. Thankfully, LearningRx was able to provide the ADHD help and reading help she needed.
This assessment information enables us to address the root cause as to why your child is struggling. It also provides critical information which focuses the efforts of our 1-on-1 training as our training is 1-on-1 and individualized to each client’s needs.
We focus on the specific areas causing the learning issue vs. a general approach that may or may not address the issue. The assessment results will tell you the root cause as to why your child is struggling. The reason so many students participate in tutoring or school interventions year-after-year and do not see improvement is because the root cause of the struggles have not been identified or addressed through cognitive skills training.
At the Savage LearningRx location, our assessment is currently $100 off the standard price of $199. For $99, you will receive invaluable information about your child that will focus your efforts to get the kind of assistance your child needs. Call us today!
I am in my 40’s and have struggled with attention, focus and memory for a long time. After hearing so many powerful testimonials from kids and adults who went through the program I decided to get an assessment. The results were in line with what I had been struggling with but knowing that the program could strengthen those areas was encouraging, so I signed up! I had a great experience. My trainer, Karen, was amazing. She was not afraid to push me in the areas that she knew I needed to focus on. Much of the exercises were pretty fun and the ones that were a struggle at first (math!) became easier over time. I just graduated and experienced an increase in my short and long term memory. I find that I can read with more focus, I can organize my thoughts better and I am less anxious when it comes to doing math in my head. I highly recommend the program, take the assessment, you have nothing to lose.
