As kids go back to school, LearningRx, a leading brain training center, offers easy ways to transform learning skills
IRVINE, California – (August 21, 2024) – As millions of kids return to school, many parents are concerned with how their children will perform. Past challenges may resurface, or new ones may arise, as the new school year brings its own set of expectations. Understanding and addressing learning challenges right from the start is the best way to help students succeed. There are programs and professionals that do one-on-one training that parents need to know about to help their children prosper in school and beyond.
“Recognizing struggles early and instituting the right intervention is critical for academic success”, says Leanne DiSanto, owner and managing director of LearningRx Irvine, in Costa Mesa, California, one of their 100+ brain training centers. “If they are falling behind, it will compound until it is addressed. Whether your child has a diagnosis such as ADHD, dyslexia, autism or is struggling in any way academically, this is often due to weak cognitive skills. Waiting too long to address these challenges can be detrimental to your child, both academically and emotionally.”
DiSanto is familiar with the situation, as she has helped hundreds of students improve their cognitive skills. LearningRx Irvine has a stellar staff and a world-renowned brain training program that has proved successful for over 40 years. The program differs from short term tutoring in that it does not focus on helping a child learn a particular subject and memorize facts. Rather, it focuses on improving brain skills so that the child can take on any subject matter and be successful with it, thus providing a long term solution by getting to the root cause of any learning issue.
There are a number of powerful things parents can do to help their student be more successful this coming school year, including the following:
- Watch for signs of struggle. It’s important to notice the red flags so that any issue can be addressed right away. If a struggle continues, kids can fall behind, lose their confidence, and disengage from school. Signs to watch for include the student hating school or hating doing their homework, not making progress in reading or math, poor time management, and trouble organizing materials.
- Take action when there is an issue. Children don’t know how to progress past an issue holding them back from excelling. This may cause them to withdraw or act out as a way to cope. The adults in their lives must recognize the struggle and take action.
- Develop the skills that will help them succeed. The subject matter is not nearly as important as having the set of skills that will help a child succeed academically. This is why brain training is so necessary. A study published in the journal Medical Science Monitor Basic Researchreports that brain training can significantly improve cognitive function, which is our mental abilities to remember, think, and learn. Brain training helps students excel in school by improving cognitive skills, including concentration, attention, working memory, logic, reasoning, auditory processing, visual processing, processing speed, and long-term memory. Once their cognitive functioning has been strengthened through brain training, they can take on their studies and be better equipped to succeed.
- Get involved with the child and school. Most schools love parental involvement and it shows them that parents care about their students’ educational outcomes. Getting frequent feedback from the teacher is critical to understanding the full picture of your students’ academic journey.
- Talk to kids about their studies and success. Parents rarely ask their children what they need to succeed at school. Asking that simple question helps your student feel empowered and may provide some eye-opening answers. Ask them what they are learning about, what they like about it, and if they need anything. Encouraging an open dialogue and checking in frequently can catch any red flags early.
“Helping students thrive and reach their full potential is my passion,” said DiSanto.”At LearningRX Irvine, we train the brain skills, so people can learn easier, think faster and perform better in all areas of life. Strong skills are the foundation for a successful upcoming school year and beyond!”
LearningRx specializes in one-on-one brain training for people of all ages. The service works by first conducting an assessment to determine the blueprint of cognitive skills, discover where the gaps are and determine what needs to be strengthened. A customized program is created then the student and brain trainer meet one-on-one to create long lasting improvements. Programs offered include school readiness training, reading, math, study, brain injury training, brain boosting training, and more.
DiSanto’s location serves those in Southern California such as Irvine, Costa Mesa, Huntington Beach, Newport Beach, Santa Ana, Tustin, and the surrounding Los Angeles or San Diego areas.
