Rich Frieder is the owner of LearningRx, a center that provides cognitive skills training to empower every student to learn faster and easier. Rather than focusing on tutoring which simply reteaches information, LearningRx gets to the root issues causing the learning struggles.
In this episode, Rich shares why he opened LearningRx, the process they use to help others improve their learning ability, and the positive impact cognitive skills training has on others' lives.“When there is an attention issue usually the attention issue isn’t the main issue it’s a symptom of other weaknesses.”- Rich Frieder
