NEWS YOU CAN USE!
January Member Spotlight: Learning Rx

“The Lisa’s” (Lisa Branch and Lisa Roberts) opened LearningRx in Huntsville in October of 2010. "That means we have been serving the people of Walker County for almost 10 full years. As a cognitive training facility, we were and continue to be a groundbreaking intervention for those with learning struggles, difficulties with reading or math, cognitive decline, Traumatic Brain Injury, Autism, Dyslexia, and so much more. LearningRx isn’t limited to those who have hardships though. Some of our biggest successes are with Business Brain Boosters-helping those who are on overload, or with those who want to achieve more such as high school and college students who want to increase their scores on entrance exams and up their chances of receiving scholarship awards. LearningRx has even had a group of students who, after completing a specified program, have tested and gained entrance into the distinguished MENSA population. That recognition demands an IQ that is only reached by 2% of Americans!"
