Learning RX of Jericho
Offers Cognitive Skills Training Shown to Benefit Children with ADHD
It is not uncommon for individuals with ADD and ADHD symptoms to have weak cognitive skills. Cognitive skills are the underlying mental abilities that enable us to process information. With testing to determine cognitive strengths and weaknesses and appropriate “brain training” exercises, students can see dramatic improvement without medications. A study by Torkel Klingberg, a neuroscientist at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, showed that 60 percent of the unmedicated ADHD children in his study no longer met the clinical criteria for AD/HD after five weeks of cognitive skills training. Steve Kent is the director of the Jericho LearningRx Cognitive Skills Training Center.

Hot Off the Presses
Tips & Tricks for Keeping Your New Year's Resolutions in 2013
 Stay on Track with All Your New Year's Goals
Making New Year's resolutions is easy. We do it when we're all full, happy and a little overwhelmed from the holidays. Keeping New Year's resolutions is a different story. But getting in the right mindset (both before and after January 1st) will help you in keeping New Year's resolutions. Chances are, at some time in your life, you've made a New Year's Resolution -- and then broken it. This year, stop the cycle of resolving to make change, but then not following through. There is nothing magical about January 1. If you give your New Year’s resolution a trial run in December, and it goes well then keep it up. And there is no reason you can't start in February or March, if that is when the desire to make a change strikes you. New Year's resolutions are supposed to be ongoing goals, so don't focus too much on the start date. Now, on the other hand, don’t let this be an excuse to let procrastination get the better of you!
