October is National Dyslexia Awareness Month and local brain training company LearningRx Florham Park is offering $100 off of a complete cognitive skills testing and consultation package (regularly priced at $299) throughout the month.
“Most people who have observed their child struggling to read probably know the basics: dyslexia isn’t really about reversing letters, it makes reading difficult, and even smart kids can be dyslexic,” says Jim Goryeb, Executive Director/Owner, LearningRx Chester & Florham Park. “But thanks to things like neuroimaging, there’s a lot of new research about the science of dyslexia – from its causes to how to essentially eradicate it.”
One piece of evidence that continues to appear in scientific studies is that the only proven solution to treat the root cause of dyslexia (i.e. weak cognitive skills) is with brain training.

Unlike digital brain training games, intensive, one-on-one brain training uses the brain’s plasticity to rebuild neural connections, find faster routes to process information and increase the processing speed of existing neural connections.
“Most people don’t even know this type of ‘brain training’ exists,” Goryeb explained. “This isn’t magic, it’s science. LearningRx cognitive skills training can literally change a student’s brain. Through intensive one-on-one training sessions a trainer can help a student of any age learn better and retain information. It’s not tutoring – it’s improving the underlying skills, like auditory processing and processing speed – needed to learn and perform tasks well. It’s like strength conditioning for the brain.”

Throughout the month of October, parents or grandparents who mention this campaign at the time of scheduling an appointment can bring their children in for a discounted brain skills assessment to measure their cognitive skills. Adults who have struggled with reading or learning may also take advantage of this special offer, which includes a consultation with the Director to review the results of the testing, to pinpoint the underlying causes of a person’s difficulties and to identify appropriate avenues for help.
