I looked into it. It is a recent franchise opportunity that makes some very broad claims. They are advertising on TV here in Idaho. Their focus appears to be the learning disabled.

On their web site, they claim <LearningRx training adapted to TBI sufferers literally rebuilds the brain’s neural connection network. Carefully crafted training exercises stimulate new connections that bypass the damaged areas of the network and restore normal or near-normal brain function. >

I read through the research they claim to support recovering cognitive functions after brain injury. The claims are quite sketchy. They show 2 soldiers with TBI of unknown level. The results after LearningRX brain training shows improvements in some areas. They do not report on all of the areas tested by the Woodcock-Johnson III Tests of Cognitive Abilities. More importantly, there is no mention of a control group.

Many of the exercises will cause improvements just due to the training of the brain that benefits everyone. In other words, if the improvement by those with a TBI improve is the same as those without a brain injury, is the improvement ' recovery' from the brain injury, or just general cognitive improvement due to an improved processing and focusing skill set?

I am not saying it may not be helpful. I am just pointing out that the two well scientifically researched programs, Lumosity and Posit Science, do not make any claims of recovery from TBI.

I would be surprised if any health insurance company would pay for this program. The trainers are not required to be licensed in any form. They just follow a protocol taught by the Franchise Corporation.

I am surprised the assessment of a TBI subject can be done by an unlicensed person. The assessment appears to be a diagnostic procedure restricted to medical or other licensed therapy professionals.

If anyone has the money to spend, it does not sound like it will hurt. Be cautious about signing any minimum level of treatment contracts. The exercises may be overwhelming.

These brain training systems are beneficial for those who have lazy minds and need to learn better focus and processing. There are books and work-books that can be inexpensively purchased to do many of these exercises.

Those with undiagnosed learning disabilities or in school systems that have failed to serve the students' learning disabilities may benefit most.
