Did you know there’s a "brain training" program in our backyard? LearningRx, a national franchise, has made its way to Northwest Arkansas through Dr. Janissa Jackson, a psychologist passionate about the importance of lifelong learning and fighting areas of weakness in the brain. Brain training begins as young as five and has no maximum age limit, and it differs from tutoring by enhancing the ability to retain information rather than relying on repetition.
With 19 years of experience in comprehensive testing and treatment, Dr. Jackson became disheartened by the lack of solutions for lasting change in the brain. When approached by LearningRx, she was intrigued. With the franchise backed by 17 peer-reviewed studies supporting clear cognitive improvements from their clients, Dr. Jackson was confident in opening a franchise. "I didn’t need another job, but when I saw the need, I couldn’t say no," she says.
LearningRx offers personalized, one-on-one cognitive training to target brain efficiency, processing speed, memory retention, and more. The program is beneficial for all, including those with ADHD, dyslexia, traumatic brain injuries, and age-related cognitive decline.
When students first visit, their memory, processing speed, and reasoning skills are assessed, followed by an hour-long consultation with Dr. Jackson. The program is customized to each individual’s specific needs, and results are measured against goals they set at the start, like improving focus or memory. A year after program completion, participants return to re-assess their cognitive skills, with results showing a 97 percent retention of their gains.
Anyone can benefit from LearningRx—Dr. Jackson herself plans to become a student! "As a clinical psychologist, I've spent my career delivering tough diagnoses, but at LearningRx, I get to share positive news and life-changing results," Dr. Jackson says. One local mother whose child has been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia shared that LearningRx has "changed her daughter’s life" as she has made immense cognitive gains.
