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.

So many students who get by through high school suddenly hit a wall in college. As if the transition to greater independence wasn't enough, weak cognitive skills like working memory and processing speed can make it virtually impossible to keep up.

That was the case for this student. But instead of just accommodating or struggling through, his family decided to do something about it.

Watch the video to hear this story of how LearningRx was able to step in at a pivotal time to change this student's trajectory and outlook for his college years!

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.

What's the connection between cognitive & executive functioning skills? These areas have a lot of overlap in how they impact daily life...

Tired of homework meltdowns? Figuring out THIS piece could help smooth things over.

Once they figure out which approach is more effective, they'll be set up to prioritize, plan, and execute with more ease (and maybe even a little less resistance 😉)

"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.

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 👇

A growth mindset looks at challenges as opportunities to grow. This is one of the single most important things you can foster in your family...

When you're not afraid of making mistakes and you're able to bounce back from them, you open the door to amazing resilience & confidence that nothing can shake!

What growth mindset conversations do you have with your family? 💬👇

👍👍Double thumbs up for some hard brain work in our center! We love watching students tackle challenges that used to feel impossible. Getting better at learning doesn't mean just "trying harder" or "focusing more."

It takes targeted, intense, and personalized support to make real changes in how the brain thinks and learns.

It's easy to do as parents...

"We picked the wrong curriculum..."
"We didn't practice enough..."
"What if we did something wrong?"
"Why doesn't he get it?"

The doubts, worry, and self-blame creep in, and we wonder where things went wrong.

Hear this today: take a deep breath. It's not too late. And you've likely done everything you can for your child... their brain may just not be processing like it should be.

At LearningRx, we help peel back the layers so you can understand what's happening at a brain-skill level that's making reading, math, and learning so hard. Once you get clarity on that, the path forward can be so much clearer.

👉You'll have real answers about the kind of help your child actually needs in order to learn easier, faster, and better.
