Behavior Therapy / ADHD / Learning RX

I have never heard of Learning RX. I'm assuming it's a chain deal like Brain Balance? Did your child's psychiatrist recommend it? Be leery of any places that seem too upbeat ("We see dramatic improvement!") or ones that claim nutrition will help ADHD (it's helpful in general, though). Make sure a medical professional oversees the program, not just some franchisee who happened to pay enough to get the franchise in that market.

Our son started behavioral therapy at four and is 10 now. We go together and discuss the challenges he's facing at the time. It's been really valuable, in conjunction with medication.

For our son, the best "wow" results by far have been with medication. The therapy is essential because it gives us coping strategies, but it doesn't change what's wrong in our son's brain. The therapy didn't start working, actually, until we started medication and he had the ability to follow through with what was learned.

My son, 10, was diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (formerly Asperger's) and ADHD last year. We tried behavior therapy. It helped a little, but not enough. Last Christmas we started him on 27mg of generic Concerta. That has helped him the most, and just a lot of growing up and maturing over this past summer.

My son takes Concerta and goes to therapy twice a month. He started therapy in April and it is helping in conjunction with medication.

My daughter, 5, has ADHD and has been taking Metidate for just over a year. Now she has started school and her behavior has changed dramatically, so Im trying to get her into behavior therapy and use it along with the medication. I have not tried Learning Rx. Good Luck to you!! ADHD are a little more complex than 'normal' but you'll find a happy medium. Hang in there!

We have done a few things that have made a huge improvement.

1. Diet changes, my son gets no dyes, gluten, chocolate and now any gummy food.

2. We take him for accupressure- it has worked wonders!

He also was in school since 3.5 and is now 5. I am not sure what you are refereing to for learning RX.. but if it is another form of OT.. it is good.

We did many things with my son and now he is doing very well.
