<p>COLORADO SPRINGS, CO&#8211;(Marketwire &#8211; April 5, 2011) &#8211; Studies indicate &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; than two million American children &#119;&#105;&#108;&#108; &#098;&#101; retained, or held back &#097; grade level, &#097;&#116; &#116;&#104;&#101; end &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; school year, and for &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; families &#116;&#104;&#101; agonizing process &#111;&#102; deciding &#116;&#111; retain or promote is already underway. &#116;&#104;&#101; brain training experts &#097;&#116; LearningRx urge parents &#116;&#111; &#099;&#111;&#110;&#115;&#105;&#100;&#101;&#114; another, &#098;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#101;&#114; option &#098;&#101;&#102;&#111;&#114;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; decision is made. </p>
<p>&#8220;Brain training helps struggling students develop &#116;&#104;&#101; mental skills, confidence and motivation &#116;&#111; &#098;&#114;&#101;&#097;&#107; &#097;&#119;&#097;&#121; from &#116;&#104;&#101; back &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; class,&#8221; says Tanya Mitchell, LearningRx Vice President &#111;&#102; Research and Development. &#8220;After brain training &#111;&#117;&#114; students &#097;&#114;&#101; often &#097;&#098;&#108;&#101; &#116;&#111; eliminate &#116;&#104;&#101; &#110;&#101;&#101;&#100; for accommodations, medications, remediation, and &#101;&#118;&#101;&#110; special education programs. For &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; struggling learners, brain training &#109;&#097;&#121; &#098;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#101; only &#119;&#097;&#121; &#116;&#111; avoid &#116;&#104;&#101; pitfalls &#111;&#102; &#098;&#101;&#105;&#110;&#103; retained &#097; grade or promoted &#105;&#110;&#116;&#111; &#097; higher grade &#119;&#104;&#101;&#110; unprepared.&#8221;</p>
<p>Hundreds &#111;&#102; studies have examined &#116;&#104;&#101; effects &#111;&#102; holding back struggling students &#116;&#111; master &#110;&#101;&#099;&#101;&#115;&#115;&#097;&#114;&#121; skills and knowledge (retention) &#118;&#115;. promoting them &#116;&#111; &#116;&#104;&#101; &#110;&#101;&#120;&#116; grade, despite poor performance, &#116;&#111; &#107;&#101;&#101;&#112; them with &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; age-mates and friends (social promotion). In general, &#116;&#104;&#101; studies &#115;&#104;&#111;&#119;:</p>
<ul>
<li>Children who &#097;&#114;&#101; retained have &#110;&#111; measurable long-term academic advantage over similarly performing classmates who &#119;&#101;&#114;&#101; promoted, and &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; studies &#115;&#104;&#111;&#119; repeating &#097; grade makes students fall further behind </li>
<li>Students who &#119;&#101;&#114;&#101; retained &#097;&#116; least &#111;&#110;&#101; grade &#097;&#114;&#101; &#109;&#117;&#099;&#104; &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; likely &#116;&#111; drop out &#111;&#102; school. </li>
<li>Grade retention is widely &#117;&#115;&#101;&#100;, but reporting efforts vary drastically. &#097;&#099;&#099;&#111;&#114;&#100;&#105;&#110;&#103; &#116;&#111; &#116;&#104;&#101; National Center for Education Statistics, in 2004, just 9.6 percent &#111;&#102; American kids age 16-19 &#104;&#097;&#100; been held back &#097;&#116; least &#111;&#110;&#101; grade. &#104;&#111;&#119;&#101;&#118;&#101;&#114;, &#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; studies indicate &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; number &#099;&#111;&#117;&#108;&#100; &#098;&#101; as high as 50 percent. </li>
</ul>
<p>&#8220;For &#115;&#111; &#109;&#097;&#110;&#121; struggling students, weak cognitive skills &#097;&#114;&#101; &#116;&#104;&#101; root cause &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; problem &#8212; &#108;&#111;&#119; achievement, poor grades and &#101;&#118;&#101;&#110; behavior issues &#097;&#114;&#101; simply &#116;&#104;&#101; symptoms,&#8221; says Mitchell. &#8220;LearningRx brain training strengthens &#116;&#104;&#111;&#115;&#101; underlying mental skills and leads &#116;&#111; &#097; &#102;&#097;&#115;&#116;&#101;&#114;, smarter, &#109;&#111;&#114;&#101; efficient brain. It&#8217;s &#116;&#104;&#101; &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; effective &#119;&#097;&#121; &#116;&#111; &#103;&#105;&#118;&#101; kids &#116;&#104;&#101; tools &#116;&#104;&#101;&#121; &#110;&#101;&#101;&#100; &#116;&#111; succeed in school, and &#097;&#116; grade level, for &#116;&#104;&#101; rest &#111;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#105;&#114; school days. &#8220;</p>
<p>A review &#111;&#102; 2009 LearningRx results shows impressive gains for students &#111;&#102; all levels &#111;&#102; academic abilities, including &#116;&#104;&#111;&#115;&#101; diagnosed with dyslexia, ADHD, speech and language disorders, autism spectrum disorders and general learning disabilities.

<p>l <i>You don&#8217;t &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; confidence &#105;&#110; your doctor.</i> Avitzur found &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; patients are less &#108;&#105;&#107;&#101;&#108;&#121; to follow &#097; &#099;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#115;&#101; of treatment when it&#8217;s prescribed by &#097; doctor they don&#8217;t trust anymore. She sends her own patients for second opinions when she knows she&#8217;s not getting through to them. For example, &#097; patient she strongly suspected had multiple sclerosis was &#099;&#108;&#101;&#097;&#114;&#108;&#121; &#8211; &#097;&#110;&#100; understandably &#8211; resisting &#116;&#104;&#101; diagnosis. Because &#116;&#104;&#101; disease might progress without treatment, Avitzur suggested &#116;&#104;&#101; patient seek &#097; second opinion &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; &#097; specialist at &#097; university medical center. It &#104;&#101;&#108;&#112;&#101;&#100; reassure her &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; medication was warranted, &#097;&#110;&#100; she&#8217;s &#110;&#111;&#119; doing very well with treatment.</p>
<p>l <i>You think &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; might be other treatments.</i> &#105;&#102; your doctor tells &#121;&#111;&#117; &#116;&#104;&#101;&#114;&#101; is &#111;&#110;&#108;&#121; &#111;&#110;&#101; &#099;&#111;&#117;&#114;&#115;&#101; of action, it should raise &#097; red flag. That&#8217;s &#119;&#104;&#097;&#116; happened to &#097; physician who developed &#097; painful kidney stone. His &#102;&#105;&#114;&#115;&#116; doctor &#116;&#111;&#108;&#100; him &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#105;&#102; &#116;&#104;&#101; stone didn&#8217;t pass &#105;&#110; &#097; month, &#104;&#101; could &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#097; procedure &#105;&#110; &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; it would be removed through &#097;&#110; endoscopic tube. When &#104;&#101; sought &#097; second opinion at &#097;&#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#101;&#114; medical center, &#104;&#101; learned &#104;&#101; was &#097; good candidate for extracorporeal shock-wave lithotripsy, &#097; less-invasive treatment &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#117;&#115;&#101;&#115; sound waves to pulverize &#116;&#104;&#101; stone &#097;&#110;&#100; &#097;&#108;&#108;&#111;&#119; it to pass. &#116;&#104;&#101; &#102;&#105;&#114;&#115;&#116; doctor hadn&#8217;t &#101;&#118;&#101;&#110; mentioned &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; idea, &#119;&#104;&#105;&#099;&#104; may or may not &#104;&#097;&#118;&#101; &#098;&#101;&#101;&#110; related to &#116;&#104;&#101; fact &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; his center didn&#8217;t own &#097; lithotripsy machine.</p>
<p>l <i>Your doctor dismisses your concerns.</i> &#111;&#110;&#101; individual developed recurrent bouts of vertigo, but her family doctor &#115;&#097;&#105;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; &#110;&#111;&#116;&#104;&#105;&#110;&#103; was wrong with her &#097;&#110;&#100; &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; her symptoms &#119;&#101;&#114;&#101; due to &#116;&#104;&#101; stress of her mother&#8217;s &#114;&#101;&#099;&#101;&#110;&#116; death. &#097; second opinion uncovered &#097;&#110; inner-ear disorder &#116;&#104;&#097;&#116; promptly improved with vestibular rehabilitation therapy. &#121;&#111;&#117; know your body &#098;&#101;&#115;&#116;, &#097;&#110;&#100; &#105;&#102; your doctor doesn&#8217;t &#116;&#097;&#107;&#101; your symptoms &#115;&#101;&#114;&#105;&#111;&#117;&#115;&#108;&#121;, &#115;&#101;&#101; &#115;&#111;&#109;&#101;&#111;&#110;&#101; else.</p>
<p>l <i>You&#8217;re not getting &#098;&#101;&#116;&#116;&#101;&#114;.</i> &#116;&#104;&#105;&#115; is &#116;&#104;&#101; &#109;&#111;&#115;&#116; common reason patients seek &#097; second opinion. Medicine is &#097;&#115; much &#097;&#110; art &#097;&#115; &#097; science, so &#097; fresh viewpoint might &#109;&#097;&#107;&#101; all &#116;&#104;&#101; difference &#105;&#102; you&#8217;re not recovering &#102;&#114;&#111;&#109; &#097;&#110; illness or surgery at &#116;&#104;&#101; pace &#121;&#111;&#117; expected. &#116;&#104;&#101; amount of time &#097; doctor spends with &#097; &#110;&#101;&#119; patient is &#116;&#119;&#111; to four times &#097;&#115; long &#097;&#115; &#097; follow-up visit, so not &#111;&#110;&#108;&#121; will &#121;&#111;&#117; get &#097; &#110;&#101;&#119; perspective but &#097;&#108;&#115;&#111; more attention.</p>
