LearningRx of DC Area Trades in Free Brain Training for 'Poor' Report Cards

Local Brain Training Centers Offer Hope to Students

It’s report-card time for many students and LearningRx brain training centers of Reston, Va., Fairfax, Va., Leesburg, Va., Vienna, Va., and N. Potomac, Md. are giving hope to kids and teens by offering two free hours of brain training in exchange for less-than-stellar report cards throughout November. For more information, go to www.learningrx.com.

LearningRx of the DC area is offering anyone 18 and younger two hours of free brain training when they bring in a copy of their report card. The interactive and fun brain training exercises strengthen the cognitive skills that students need to learn effectively (attention, memory, processing speed, problem solving, among others). And that means improved mental performance in the classroom, at home, and even on the sports field.

“Unfortunately, many people wrongly assume that poor report cards are a reflection of inadequate teaching or laziness on the part of the student; this is rarely the case,” says Maureen Loftus of LearningRx Reston, Va. and Vienna, Va. “The truth is, most bad report cards simply mean that the child is struggling to learn because of weak cognitive skills, but the good news is that these learning skills can be strengthened through intensive one-on-one brain training, ” said Loftus.
