"We can't read to learn if we can't read"
Brain Training
BrainRx® strengthens brain skills, and stronger brain skills make life easier. How does BrainRx strengthen brain skills?
Here are some important facts about BrainRx brain training:
BrainRx programs use intense mental exercise to strengthen key skills.
Training takes place in our center, using a unique combination of one-on-one brain training and digital training.
Even though the training is fun and incorporates a variety of game-like exercises, it’s intense and effective.
Pre-training testing allows us to identify specific weak skills so we can target those skills and strengthen them.
Finally, by working with their own personal BrainRx trainer, students get the benefits of customized sessions, accountability, and lots of one-on-one encouragement.
The extraordinary value of BrainRx training is its ability to identify and correct the causes of persistent learning or reading problems—at their root. Training strengthens skills and eliminates weaknesses. The changes make learning and reading easier in every subject or challenge.
Improved grades, skyrocketing self-esteem, and increased confidence are just some of successes celebrated by students and parents alike.
WHY DOES IT WORK?
Why Brain Training Works
For a long time, people believed the brain was fixed and unchangeable—but now we know that’s absolutely not the case!
Did you know:
-
Our brains can adapt, grow, and create new connections throughout our entire lives. Pretty amazing, right?
-
Cognitive skills are the brain’s “power tools”—they shape our IQ and influence how well we think, read, learn, reason, remember, and focus.
-
Because the brain is always learning and reshaping itself, our ability to think, remember, and learn isn’t set in stone. It can be strengthened and improved at any age!
-
Brain training taps into this natural ability to grow, helping your brain become quicker, stronger, and more efficient.
Cognitive Skills
WHAT ARE COGNITIVE SKILLS?
