LearningRx opens progressive cognitive training center

Newtown, PA May 13, 2009 -- LearningRx Franchise Corporation is pleased to announce the grand opening of the newest LearningRx Training Center in Newtown.

The center will officially open on June 6, 2009 and the public is invited to enjoy free snacks, free cognitive skills training demonstrations, as well as examples of some of the most effective training tools LearningRx has perfected over the past 30 years. In addition, seminars will take place from 11am to 5pm.

“For those who aren’t familiar with the concept of brain training, we welcome them to stop by and see what this growing phenomenon is all about,” said Courtney Love, Assistant Director of the Newtown LearningRx center, located at 126 S. State St.. “The short version is that cognitive skills training helps correct and/or prevent learning disabilities by improving cognitive skills. These include things like attention, working memory, processing speed, long-term memory, logic and reasoning, auditory processing, and visual processing."

According to Love, LearningRx has had especially significant results helping children and teens with dyslexia, ADD and ADHD.
 
"Many parents tell us that within three to six months of starting the program, their children no longer require stimulant medications like Ritalin,” Love added.
