This review was chosen algorithmically as the most valued customer feedback.

As a hard working parent, I was taken back to recently find out that the owner of the learning RX in Sanford Florida -Ms. Suzanne Gory was a hairstylist for the past nine years . If I would have known this important inforamtion I would have never given this person the day of light not because of her hair stylist career but this was a deep and serious matter I was dealing with. Our child's academic challenges and $5000.00 dollars of flash cards. A total fraud in my dictionary. i would like to strongly advice future parents to seek deeper into the background of the people who call themselves professional in brain development or learning strategists areas which they have very little knowledge working with ADD, ADHD or any other brian training skills. it is sad to be mislead and believe that the people involved are high prepared for the task of helping our children and only being there for the money.

There is a LRX franchise owner named Suzanne Gory in Lake Mary, Fl. and she's amazing. Does it matter your background or just that you want to be a part of changing lives? Thousands have seen the positive effects of LRX. Learning and reading difficulties don't have to be permanent.

There isn't even a LRX in Sanford, FL, nor is there a Suzanne Gory as a franchise owner in the company. Secondly, the 80% is not that 80% of children have learning disabilities, it's 80% of learning and reading difficulties are the direct consequence of cognitive skill weakness.

I love complaint boards (not!). The initial complaint is always so vague and meaningless: "I went there, I didn't like it = A SCAM!"

Then, when asked to clarify, the OP is never heard from again. Based on the behavior of those who post to complaint boards, we can conclude they really don't care about what they have written, because they don't bother to make it useful for the reader.

I treat all complaints this way, whether in person or on the 'nets.

my granddaughter was unable to sit still, unable to focus or concentrate due to having ADHD. When she started the program we were unsure if she would be able to graduate 1st grade or not. Through the perserverance of the staff and their committment to their students, my grand daughter not only was promoted into second grade but she scored in the 88 percentile and above on the post test. She has the required passing score to be permitted to attend college according to the test results. Her ability to read has excelled because of the staff at Learning Rx and them not giving up on my grand daughter. It was a touch 9 months. But with the help of ALL at Learning Rx and myself, husband and her father, she is a wonderful little lady, able to sit still and concentrate, able to focus enough to take exams within the allowed time and pass them with high scores.My grand daughter tests out as a 140 or higher IQ but you would have never known it before she started at Learning Rx and now that she has graduated the programs. I have had both family members and friends who have not seen her in 15 months or so comment on the transformation of this child. They are all in awe. I would recommend this program to anyone interested in promoting and enhancing education with their child. The trainer that worked with my grand daughter was the best and matched up with my grand daughter according to her personality and her ability to be stern and assertive when needed but to give positive feedback for work well done.

Wow! I am having a difficult time trying to decide how to respond. First of all, you complain about the owner being a hairstylist, then say your complaint is "not because of the hair stylist career." Which is it? The rest of your complaint also is difficult to "decode" because your grammar, spelling and sentence structure causes the reader to have to "guess" what you mean. Did you complete the course, how long did you attend, did you work with your child? Did you have an understanding of what was needed and did YOU have the ability to assist? You stated that you are a "hard working parent." Does this mean that you hold down a job and didn't have time to devote to Learning Rx with your child? My family also participated in Learning Rx. My daughter was matched with a consummate professional who possessed he personality and experience that enhanced the learning process. She had short-term memory, auditory, processing problems and other learning difficulties. It was a lot of hard work to pull her through the course. We worked very, very hard on all of the activities together. It wasn't a piece of cake. One doesn't just pay the money and expect the "professionals" at LearninRx to do it for you. But the end was well worth it because you find out it wasn't really the end after all. We finished up with a celebration party about 8 months ago at the Learning Rx facility. Still, today, my daughter is a new butterfly. It is wonderful that it transfers over to other things besides academics. I was just thinking today, wow, thank goodness for Learning Rx. Her piano playing has improved dramatically, she organizes her day and week so that her work gets done AHEAD of time. (How great is that for a 12-year old). The reason she can do this (and if you asked her she will tell you) is because Learning Rx helped her organize her thoughts. For her, it was too hard to sift through them and figure out what to remember, what to do, or how to prioritize. In fact, halfway through LearningRx, she picked up a book and started reading it on her own. This was something I never thought I would see. Her marks are As and Bs, not because she is so smart, but because she can organize her notes, notebook, homework, and study time. The program wore me out, it wore her out too But, she looked forward to the weekly visits in Sanford. She loved it, in fact, as did I. We had terrific experiences there. It was well worth the effort and investment. The results speak for themselves. In fact, my daughter mentions using some of the learned techniques to remember course work. How cool! Don't give up on Learning Rx and don't sell them short. They are very dedicated and knowledgeable people. Just be willing to work as hard as your kid does to pull them through it. It will be the best investment of their lives!

I did research on this company, their claims have no basis in fact. 80% of kids have learning problems! Where's the research? Only LearningRX claims this, most well respected researchers say more like 2-8%. LearningRx is all hype.

I took my son there to see how they did things, lots of promises, flashy marketing, but short on real substance.

I also have a child who went through a LearningRx program and I am very happy with the results. Prior to signing up, I did inquire about academic qualifications and requested a trainer who had an educational degree. The match between my son and his trainer was extraordinary and she was able to push him far beyond what I could do (we did the partner program where I was responsible for working with him at home also).

He made HUGE gains in his short-term memory and his confidence soared. We were required to meet with the director every 4 weeks to make sure we were doing our home training and staying with the program. I was also required to meet with the trainer once a week to learn new procedures and how to work him harder. I don't know anything about flash cards but the materials we received were outstanding and my son still uses some of them when we have time together - he really likes the golf and the puzzles. We are very happy with our experience and would recommend LearningRx to anyone that asks us.

I understand that it seems odd that a hair dresser would own a brain training center. But let me respond to why this is very plausible. Our program is based on scientific research, but was birthed and developed in the clinical setting. We did start out in hospitals and in doctor’s offices. We have had specialist and professionals help us refine our program to the point where we are getting very significant changes in the half the time we did thirty years ago (back in the late 70’s early 80’s.) (See all three of our studies on our website.) Today we have many professionals who own a LearningRx center – Psychologist, Audiologist, Speech Pathologist, Occupational Therapist, Educational PhDs, and many other professionals. They all bring an expertise to our system. But, they all have to follow our system, exactly. Over the years we have found that skill and passion far out-weigh a person’s background for delivering our training and great customer service. Six years ago when we put our training into a franchise system, we opened it up to those outside of the medical and educational fields. We had parents coming to us with children who desperately needed our program, but didn’t have a center in their area. (Some of these parents would drive more than an hour each way three or more times a week, or even cross state lines to give their child our training.) The impact it had on their lives so was great and so life changing that they wanted to bring it to their community and help families in their neighborhoods. So we now let a parent, who is a great business person and will follow our systems to a T, (They also go through extensive training) run a LearningRx center.
Our training is much more than flash cards. (We don’t use typical flash cards) It is one on one personal fitness training for the brain. I urge anyone who has a loved one who is struggling or just needs an edge to give our training a try. You won’t be sorry. I have personally seen our training help student after student, after student. I have a son who was born with PDD and was told by doctors that he would never read and would have limited speech. He reads today, because of LearningRx! Not a day goes by that I don’t thank God for putting LearningRx in my life and in the lives of others.
