Press Release Body = Colorado Springs, Colorado - LearningRx has proven through
documented research of over 15,000 students the most important cognitive skills
necessary for success. The company\'s research broadly categorizes the critical
skills as attention, working memory, processing speed, long-term memory, visual
processing, auditory processing, and logic and reasoning. They also point out that
these skills often overlap in their work with other skills as the mind processes and
acts on the information it receives. LearningRx specializes in helping students
overcome common learning disabilities by taking a cognitive-based approach.

\"Strong cognitive skills are essential for quality learning. They are not to be
confused with academic skills like reading, writing, and arithmetic,\" says Dr. Ken
Gibson Founder and CEO of LearningRx (www.learningrx.com) and author of Unlock The
Einstein Inside. \"It is important for struggling students to be tested for weak
cognitive skills.\"

Specialized testing is required to help students pinpoint potentially weak cognitive
skills. A cognitive based approach works best because it targets the problem, and in
turn the student will see an improvement on the academic side of things because
comprehension and studying will be much easier. \"This will lead to a lifetime of
learning success,\" added Gibson. Once a student has been tested a unique plan for
strengthening the weak cognitive skills is put into place. This plan will include
exercises and tutoring that will ensure success for the student if followed
properly.

LearningRx takes a cognitive based approach to their testing and training programs
geared towards helping students overcome learning disabilities and improve in their
academic lives. For more information on these programs and to locate a LearningRx
