For National Dyslexia Awareness Month:
New online resource center for struggling learners
Colorado Springs, CO – October 5, 2010 – October is National Dyslexia Awareness Month and the brain training experts at LearningRx have launched a new online resource center to provide free information for those seeking to end learning struggles or just build stronger brain skills.
The new site (www.LearningRx.com) includes hundreds of pages of content on topics like: Treating Autism, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant Disorder, Tutoring vs. Brain Training, What are cognitive skills?, Sensory Integration Therapy, Phonemic Awareness, IQ Tests, Traumatic Brain Injury, Homework Help, Age-Related Cognitive Decline, Reading Struggles, and What is brain training?
Other free resources include:
• A live Webinar (or pre-recorded session) of “A Parent’s Guide to Eliminating Learning Struggles”
• An interactive Learning Skills Discovery Survey for parents
• “The Brain Buzz” – an eNewsletter with hints to improve thinking, reading and learning
• Videos of real brain training exercises
“When we initially talked about designing this new site, our top priority was to help visitors find answers to their questions quickly and easily,” says LearningRx Vice President of Marketing, Mark Finzel. “During our research phase, we asked our survey participants to choose between homepage options. The vast majority of people clicked on ‘Learn about brain training,’ which shows us that people want to know what brain training is all about.”
Finzel says his team focused on creating a site with easy-to-navigate features like a drop-down menu, search box and zip code box (to find local help). “With any new website, it’s tempting to use a lot of fancy Flash animation. But we know our visitors will be coming to this site for information – not entertainment, so that’s what we’re giving them: insight into how brain training can really make people smarter.”
