Sometimes it starts with little things—homework taking twice as long as it should, constant battles over reading, or tears of frustration when math just won’t “click.” Parents wonder: Is my child not trying hard enough? Is something bigger going on? 🤔😥

At LearningRx, we know those struggles are often rooted in how the brain is processing and learning—not in effort, motivation, or potential. And the good news? With the right support and training, those skills can be strengthened.

If you’ve been noticing signs of struggle as the school year ramps up and first report cards are coming back, now is the time to dig deeper. For a limited time, we’re offering assessments and consultations for just $99 to help uncover what’s really going on and how to support your child.

✨ Don’t wait—spots fill quickly during report card season!

Brain breaks are a great tool backed by science to improve focus, lift mood, and support learning—especially for neurodivergent learners.

These are short bursts of activity, mindfulness, or mental tasks to reset the brain, especially when doing tasks that are particularly long or challenging.

👉We've got some great examples you can use in your homeschool routine or classroom in our latest blog post: https://www.learningrx.com/harrisonburg/brain-breaks-that-actually-help-neurodivergent-learners/

When THESE underlying skills are weak, even the best reading program can feel like pushing a boulder uphill. 🪨

The good news? Strengthening those skills can open the door to faster, easier reading progress. 🚪✨ At LearningRx, our approach to reading help focuses on laying the foundation in critical skills like attention, working memory, processing speed, logic, and visual and auditory processing so that the brain has the tools it needs in order to read with confidence.

You’ve tried switching math programs. You’ve added reading games and hands-on manipulatives. You’ve adapted the schedule, built in movement breaks, and even taken full weeks off to reset.

😢But your child is still struggling to learn. Where do you go from here?

Rather than staying on the curriculum carousel, constantly switching and trying new things, here's how you can evaluate if there's a deeper learning struggle that's holding them back: https://www.learningrx.com/staunton-harrisonburg/is-it-the-curriculum-or-is-it-their-brain/

We welcome your questions! Here's the rest of what this skeptical audiologist had to say after visiting one of our centers:

"I recently visited LearningRx Chattanooga after flying in specifically to meet its passionate owner. Their method immediately challenged everything I'd learned in 25 years as an audiologist.

"Rather than quiet, predictable drills, students worked amid low‑grade hum, clicking metronomes, spoken interruptions, and visual-math tasks, all designed to mimic the unpredictable nature of real-world listening. I watched children, teens, adults, and older learners engage in split‑attention and emotional regulation exercises. That is, not memorizing in silence but building resilience under pressure.

"Trainers continuously introduced random questions and challenges during tasks, reinforcing “recovering from disruption.” I, too, felt cognitively drained trying it... which showed me how rigorous yet real their training is.

"What stood out: they’re not just building auditory skills. They strengthen executive function, working memory, processing speed, flexibility, and emotional control.

"Their internal research shows learners retain 98 % of gains even 15 months post-training. The owner...shared third‑party-validated research, and the center’s in‑house coach‑training struck me as deeply structured. There’s no formal relationship—I came in skeptical, but left converted."

Does your homeschooler need you right there to stay focused? Or does your child struggle to stay engaged with homework without your hand-holding?
😩You remind, redirect, and hover—only to feel drained and frustrated.

You’re not alone. Many kids struggle to work independently because their executive function skills are still developing — the brain’s control center for planning, focus, and self-management.

👉 If you’re ready to stop guessing and start understanding, a cognitive skills assessment can pinpoint exactly where your child needs support.

On this episode of the Brainy Moms podcast, Dr. Amy and Teri dive into some neuroscience behind the big emotional challenges that many kids (and adults) with ADHD experience.

While it's not part of the diagnostic criteria, emotional dysregulation is the most debilitating symptom reported by a majority of people with ADHD.

So as a parent, what can you do to respond with empathy and understanding rather than frustration? Tune in to find out 👉 https://www.thebrainymoms.com/2025/07/29/parenting-adhd-emotion-dysregulation/
