Learning RX
 Read Part 1:"I Love You Guys" "Last year was a tough year," Julie Worthy writes in her blog. So begins this mom-blogger's story of embarking on what she calls an "amazing journey" to find help for her son, recently diagnosed with ADHD. Julie says she read books, searched on the computer, and even posted pleas for help in online forums before her journey led her to LearningRx where she enrolled her son (and also her daughter who was exhibiting similar symptoms) in brain training. Julie calls the Jacksonville, Florida, LearningRx center "amazing" and says she's setting her kids up for future success in life by "attacking the real issues going on in their brains and not just the symptoms." In the coming months, we'll be featuring some of Julie's blog posts as this lively mother-of-four writes about her family's experiences at LearningRx. Check out this blog post in which Julie says that "every day, every minute [of brain training] is success" for her children, then describes some pretty dramatic changes she's already seeing in their lives!
