LearningRx - Glendale

Does your child struggle to keep up with the world around them (both in the classroom and in life)?

Weak memory and processing speed are common root causes of learning struggles, but these skills trickle over into every area of life.

Strong memory may help your child be able to remember instructions—the first time you tell them (imagine that 🤯)
Faster processing speed may help your child feel less overwhelmed by new situations, people, information, etc.

And this is only the beginning... Clients report so many real-life improvements from brain training (like these) because a strong brain makes all the difference!

What kind of improvements did these LearningRx clients experience after they completed our brain training program? Our studies have shown that the average performance of these clients in attention rose from the 42nd percentile to the 66th. That’s a dramatic improvement in attention performance!

If you feel like you need to work on your ability to pay attention, don't delay! (After all, you might forget.) https://bit.ly/3uV3Df6

Tutoring might be the answer if your child is:
• Behind as a result of missing classes due to illness or vacation?
• Behind due to moving to a new school, or relocating frequently?
• Performing poorly in a single class due to poor presentation of information (inexperienced or absent teacher, missing class materials, etc.)?
• Demonstrating a special gift or passion, and you want to hire someone knowledgeable in that subject to tutor your child at an advanced level?
• Good at catching on right away if a concept needs to be explained a second time. Since tutoring redelivers educational content that wasn’t grasped the first time it was presented, hire a tutor when your child needs help getting “caught up” because something has interfered with the delivery of that

Brain training might be the answer if any of the following statements describe your child:
• Has received tutoring in subjects in which he/she still struggles
• Is behind in more than one class
• Has always disliked or done poorly with reading
• Takes a long time doing homework
• Has chronically struggled in school or with tests
• Has to work harder or longer than other kids to achieve good grades
• Says he or she feels stupid, can’t succeed, or isn’t as smart as other kids

Kids and adults alike need to be more aware of concussion signs and symptoms, and effective interventions for treatment. Despite COVID-19 modifications, many high-impact sports such as football, soccer, and hockey are gearing up for fall and winter games. A tackle on the football field can often lead to an unreported concussion, with symptoms not showing up for hours or even days. Thus it is so important to become educated about this silent syndrome.

The Injury Association of America has published a simple and powerful tool to help. This image explains the four major symptomatic areas – physical, cognitive, emotional, sleep – and specific problems to watch for. https://bit.ly/3hxoejw

When Jacob began training, he was skeptical that anything would help to improve his reading skills and was not confident in his abilities to complete the tasks at LearningRx. As training progressed, he was able to see vast improvements academically and personally!

After several weeks of training, Jacob began to realize that his training was not only helping to improve his academics, but that it was also having a positive effect on his baseball skills and his self-confidence. He learned to laugh at his mistakes and give full effort in school, at home, and on the baseball field!

Is your child dreading the back-to-school season?

If learning is always a fight, kids frequently respond by saying that they "hate" school or that it's "boring." These avoidant behaviors are often signs of deeper learning struggles that can be addressed with brain training!

While every brain is unique, we'd love the chance to talk with you more about the way cognitive skills not only impact learning itself—but also attitudes about learning.

An accommodation for a child with slow processing speed, for example, might involve giving that child extra time to complete assignments. Likewise, an accommodation for a child struggling with attention issues might involve allowing that student to work in a separate area to avoid being distracted by other students.

Neither of these accommodations address the core problems of slow processing speed or weak attention, both of which are cognitive skills that can be targeted and trained. In fact, in some cases, accommodations may “enable” the learning disability or challenge by working around the problem, rather than addressing the cause of the problem.

Finally, accommodations don’t help a child prepare for academics down the road. Later on in adulthood teachers, professors, and bosses don’t cater to individual needs.

Not sure where to start in order to prepare them for down the road? Reach out today for a personalized consultation: https://bit.ly/33dtotQ

Nothing helps us more to decompress like a walk on tree-lined paths on a sunny day. It’s always felt like a magical cure for whatever stressors are making us feel overwhelmed. And, research tells us that nature nurtures not only our mind, but our brain. Even a short exposure to nature decreases amygdala activity, suggesting that walks in nature could reduce the chances of developing stress-induced mental health problems.

So go on a walk! Today!

Cardiovascular Research indicates that high amounts of salty, processed foods may also induce anxiety and aggression.

“We are what we eat and understanding how high-salt food changes our mental health is an important step to improving well-being,” said lead author Matthew Bailey, Ph.D., professor of renal physiology at the University of Edinburgh’s Centre for Cardiovascular Science. “We know that eating too much salt damages our heart, blood vessels, and kidneys. This study now tells us that high salt in our food also changes the way our brain handles stress.”

When you're purchasing pre-made foods, be wary of ultra-processed foods, which are generally high in energy, fat, sugar or salt, and low in fiber.
When cooking at home or sprinkling your meal with salt, opt for low-salt alternatives, such as sodium chloride or potassium chloride. https://www.modernbrainjournal.org/lots-of-salty-junk-food-stresses-the-brain/
