Why can teens study for hours but still not be able to get the grades they want?

It might be because they're passively reviewing instead of actively studying (and learning different techniques could change things). Learn more about what these strategies look like: https://shorturl.at/meCe9

Active Studying Strategies for Teens - LearningRx Brain Training Active studying builds real learning skills teens can use for life. Learn what active studying is, what it isn't, and the research behind it.

Individualized and personalized learning aren't the same thing. And according to Jessica Parnell (CEO of Edovate Learning / Bridgeway Academy), parents who understand that difference have a much better shot at setting their kids an educational path that supports their success.

If homework feels like a bigger fight this year, it's probably not about how much your child has to do.

It's about how much harder the thinking itself has gotten and whether their brain has the tools to keep up. 🧠

Working memory, processing speed, and attention all get asked to do more at once as the complexity of work increases, and when the task outpaces the skill, that's when the meltdowns happen.

We broke down why this shows up so often around grade transitions (and what actually helps) read it here 👇

During the long journey of raising a special needs daughter I often said to my husband, “If I can figure out McKenna, I am going to start a business based on the solution because I will be able to help so many families”. After experiencing the life-changing impact LearningRx had on McKenna, I knew I discovered the next business I was going to apply my decades of business experience to leading.

McKenna does not have a diagnosis that explains the countless challenges that she faces including delays in every category of development, cognitive delays, numerous medical issues, and more. I was told she would never learn anything academic and would be challenged to feed/dress herself.

But I never gave up and researched every potential intervention/treatment possible and tried many of them. The one intervention that made a significant difference is LearningRx brain training.

I knew that I wanted to open my first center in Vienna where my children grew up and attended school. Our children have since completed high school attending Wolftrap ES, Kilmer MS and James Madison High School. As a result, we personally know many of the families that we serve which makes the impact mean so much more.

Over the last decade, we have worked with thousands of families from the Vienna, McLean, Arlington, Dunn Loring, Oakton and surrounding areas. I am active in the community serving as a board director of non-profits, spearheading school-based programs, and more.

As parents and educators, we often emphasize the importance of academic skills—reading, writing, and arithmetic. While these are undoubtedly crucial, there’s a deeper layer that significantly impacts a child’s ability to learn and succeed: cognitive skills and executive functioning skills.

Cognitive Skills & Executive Functioning Skills - LearningRx Brain Training What's the connection between cognitive & executive functioning skills? These areas have a lot of overlap in how they impact daily life...

"We decided to try LearningRx because our son was struggling with dyslexia, attention, memory, and processing. We had tried other things, but it felt like we were just putting a Band-Aid on the problem instead of fixing what was causing it.

Since starting LearningRx, we’ve seen a big difference.

He’s more confident, able to stay on task for longer periods of time, and doesn’t get as frustrated when he’s learning something new.

We’ve noticed changes at school and at home, and it’s been so nice to watch him start believing in himself again."

👏👏This is what it's all about! We're here for the cognitive improvements, but the real-life changes our families share with us? Nothing beats it.



*Results from a past client; individual outcomes can vary, but ask us about our research and results—we'd love to share more about what your family could expect!

Lost another water bottle this week? 🧢👟 If your kid seems to lose everything (jackets, homework, you name it) it might not be carelessness. It could be a brain skill that needs a little extra support. Here's what's normal, what's not, and what you can actually do about it 👇
