Our youngest was blessed by Learning RX around the age of 12. As homeschoolers, we were stuck in several areas of her studies and couldn’t figure out what was missing. When she was assessed by Donesa and her team, they found she had some areas where her brain was just not processing information the way that it should. After putting her through the program, not only did her problem-solving skills improve, but there was also peace in teaching her again because things were connecting that never had before! Now a freshman in college, our daughter is thriving and experiencing academic achievements she never would have had we not understood and addressed her obstacles with the help of Learning RX. It’s the gift that keeps on giving and we are beyond grateful!
