Experts At Learningrx Teach How To Learn. Their Help Changes Lives.

(Thursday, September 01, 2005) - There's energy in the room. It's alive in people's eyes, in the cadence of their speech. They lean forward to listen to each other, their heads nodding approval, their hands furiously taking notes. These people are passionate about what they are doing. They are the trainers, directors and franchisees of LearningRx, a Colorado Springs-headquartered business that is revolutionizing how people learn. Attending a convention at the Wyndham Hotel last month, the group focused on continually improving their methods.

"When we get these people together," says LearningRx founder and president, Dr. Ken Gibson, "it reignites our passion to get the type of help we provide to more and more people."

LearningRx goes after the cause of learning problems

The type of help LearningRx provides is a training system to enhance cognitive learning skills that apply the most recent scientific research on learning. It is cognitive skills that allow students to process sensory information. Processing includes the ability to attend to, discriminate, analyze, evaluate and compare information; to recall past experiences; and to determine a plan of action. Students develop these skills by their interaction with their environment and other people. If cognitive skills aren't developed properly, learning deficiencies can occur.

LearningRx utilizes an assessment battery which identifies and reports skill strengths and weaknesses in several cognitive areas. Once a student's deficiencies are pinpointed, LearningRx trainers develop a customized deficient cognitive skills, LearningRx goes after the cause of the problem, unlike tutoring programs that futilely fight the symptoms.

LearningRx provides consistent, lifelong results

"I've seen so many fantastic results through LearningRx," says Kristen Smith an assistant director and convention attendee from Twinsburg, Ohio. "We are equipping children with the tools they need to be lifelong learners and it is changing their lives." Kristen describes the experience of her high school-aged cousin who benefited from LearningRx. "He was doing poorly in school - academically and socially. After getting help from a LearningRx trainer, his grades improved and so did his self-confidence, which in turn improved his social involvement."

At the convention's round table discussions, it is clear that trainers, directors and franchisees are all seeking to achieve similar results in as many students as they can reach. Tanya Mitchell, National Trainer and daughter of Dr. Gibson, sums it up. "We are consistently changing how people learn, and that's changing their lives."

This growing, national company is represented by a local center in Colorado Springs as well. This is your point of contact to get the learning and reading help you are interested in. To find out more about how LearningRx can change the life of someone you know, call 800-535-5441.
