Lisa Branch’s passion and desire to help<br />
students who struggled with learning prompted<br />
her to research learning difficulties, and<br />
eventually, launch a new career as the co-owner<br />
of LearningRx-Huntsville.<br />
After twenty years of teaching, Branch saw<br />
students, who, even though they worked<br />
hard, studied diligently, and gave their best<br />
effort, was not successful in the classroom.<br />
That is when she began searching for<br />
answers and studying brain development.<br />
She received her first certification in brain<br />
research in 1999, and delved deeper into<br />
neuroscience and the “whys” of learning<br />
difficulties. In 2010, Branch heard about<br />
LearningRx, a national franchise with research<br />
to support claims that it could change the<br />
brain’s ability to process information, enabling<br />
learning to happen more efficiently.<br />
LearningRx focuses on weak cognitive<br />
skills—the underlying areas of the brain,<br />
which enable learning. “Addressing the root<br />
cause of learning difficulties<br />
allows us to see growth<br />
in IQ scores and classroom<br />
performance,” she says.<br />
The company has been<br />
successful in the areas of<br />
dyslexia, autism spectrum<br />
disorders, ADD/ADHD,<br />
traumatic brain injuries,<br />
stroke victims, and senior<br />
decline. College students<br />
and professional people<br />
also benefit from LearningRx<br />
by becoming faster processors<br />
of information. “We<br />
can help with almost any<br />
area that concerns the brain<br />
and its ability to process<br />
and learn information,”<br />
she adds.<br />
After studying and completing<br />
LearningRx’s franchise<br />
development system,<br />
Branch, co-owner Lisa<br />
Roberts, and Assistant<br />
Director Melissa Howe,<br />
were certified in Cognitive<br />
Brain Therapy. The business<br />
opened October 1,<br />
2010 with five clients<br />
receiving services and<br />
since, has served over fifty<br />
members of the community.<br />
“Our success is a great<br />
example of how provisions are made<br />
when individuals seek to follow God’s plan,”<br />
they agree.<br />
While focusing on clients in the <strong>Walker</strong><br />
<strong>County</strong> area, LearningRx also serves the<br />
surrounding East Texas Region. Melissa Howe,<br />
Georgie Berry, and Courtney Givens comprise<br />
the core staff of LearningRx-Huntsville.<br />
They ensure that all fifteen employees and<br />
approximately forty clients are served based<br />
on the ideals upon which LearningRx<br />
was founded.<br />
