Dr. Ken Gibson is the founder of Learning Rx I found nothing on PubMed. He is a Doctor of Optometry who specialized in Pediatric Optometry and Visual Processing. Alvaro Fernandez blogged that Dr. Gibson had founded and a network of 60 learning centers through out the US and abroad. Dr. Gibson wrote a book, “Unlock the Einstein Inside ” basically talking about applying ‍a new form of science ‍ to aid you in learning information more effectively.

 * “**LearningRx claims that they focus on identifying and improving weak cognitive skills.” They state that ‍88% of studies ‍ show that those suffering from learning problems have weak cognitive skills, the truth is it’s more so along the lines of 2-8%.As a parent I know that there is absolutely nothing I would not do to ensure that my child has a better future. Even though this is a costly program the reviews show that it has worked for many who were willing to try. After compiling a list of reviews both good and bad it looks as though the good out weigh the bad. Even though Learning Rx can not scientifically back what they are saying 100% I do agree that there program does make some very valid points, but I am still not completely sold that this program is everything it makes itself out to be. I was unable to find any reviews from other scientists‍ as to if this program actually works or not and if their claims are valid. I could not find any backing other from employees or loved ones of those who have had success with the Learning Rx program. I personally would not purchase this program and try it because if it does not work I would feel that it is a waste of money. As a consumer who always looks for the bargain and mother of three I do not spend large amounts of money on products if I am unsure that they will work for the intended purpose. I would not recommended purchasing this product unitl more extensive studies are done by scientist who are qualified and able to make valid points.
