LearningRx is a Brain Training Center that opened in November in Flower Mound. What is Brain Training, you might be wondering? It’s much more than just tutoring your child through a subject, it’s actual training for the brain. Just like motor skills, these skills can be enhanced and improved through regular training. Exercising your ‘mental muscles’ makes the brain stronger, faster and more effective, leading to improved reading, focus, problem solving, and memory. |
| LearningRx offers a permanent fix, not just a band-aid. They help children and adults with ADHD, Dyslexia, Autism, Attention issues, reading problems and more. |
| Local residents, Eric and Alicia Welch own the Flower Mound/Highland Village location of LearningRx. Eric says, “My wife, Alicia, and I were looking for something that would help our youngest son with his poor memory and reading. We knew he needed more than tutoring. After lots of research, we found LearningRx.” At that time, the closest location was Frisco, so they headed there. “We found out that LearningRx is really the only place that works on strengthening and improving someone’s cognitive abilities and IQ. The program makes a lot of sense and we signed our son up for their 24-week program.” Their son has enjoyed greater results with the program than they imagined. They decided they wanted to bring this program to the Flower Mound/Highland Village area so they opened up their training center. Eric says, “We’re already seeing changes in our student’s lives. It’s been a joy and blessing to be a part of LearningRx.” |  |

So what should you expect when walking into the training center for the first time? Your child will be given an assessment to find his/her cognitive strengths and weaknesses. This skills testing allows the trainers to develop an individualized, one-on-one learning skills training program for your child which will be as little as 12 - 24 weeks. Your child learns (or struggles to learn) for a reason. LearningRx can identify that reason and improve your child’s core ability to learn and read. |
|
They use a scientific approach to leaning, so they are able to assess scientifically, the progress that your child is making throughout the process. Some of the areas that are worked on for strengthening and improving are:

This is what others are saying after trying LearningRx for their child: When our daughter came to LearingRx, our family time was zero due to lengthy nights of homework and studying. We had tried a private tutor, after-school programs and lots of praying, but nothing seemed to work. My husband and I decided, ‘Why not try LearningRx?’ We had done everything else we knew to do. Thank goodness we did, It was like nothing we had ever seen. She no longer calls herself ‘dumb’ or ’stupid’. We actually eat dinner as a family again!” |
| If you have a child (or yourself) struggling with ADHD, attention, school work, reading, math, memory or simply feel like he needs a little help, contact LearningRx TODAY to receive the initial assessment. This small step could help him/her for a lifetime. |

The Bee Hive – New Home Decor Store by former Distinctions Owner

This is not your typical home decor store. Sherry says, “I want to offer and create original, one of a kind pieces that will not be easy to find at any of the franchise stores in town. My newest passion is repurposed art and furniture…something else you won’t be able to find down the street.” They also offer market samples at discounted prices that change on a weekly basis and will be limited in number, so you will have to stop in often for the best finds. They are open only on Thursdays and Fridays from 10am – 5pm, to allow time to shop market and allow the creative juices to flow so they can bring you fabulous home accessories, jewelry, bling spiritwear and much more. This week, through December 23rd, they will be open every day from 10am-5pm and are offering 40% off All Remaining Christmas Decor. When I stopped in I saw gorgeous swags, ornaments, ribbons, wreaths, garlands and lots more at 40% off already low prices. Stop by and take a look for yourself! |

Are you like me trying to organize my menus and make the final grocery list that we have to knock out before the kids get out of school at 1:15pm on Wednesday? One thing I don’t have to worry about is dessert for one of those dinners. Lucky for us,
