Press Release Summary = LearningRx confirms that its findings on \"brain exercises\"
are consistent with those released in a report by the American Medical Association

Press Release Body = Colorado Springs, Colorado - Colorado Springs-based LearningRx
confirms today that its findings are consistent with those released in a report by
the American Medical Association last week.

\"The results reported in our independent statistical analyses are supported by those
published in the Journal of the American Medical Association,\" explains LearningRx
President and Founder, Dr. Ken Gibson. \"Mental exercise improves the brain the way
physical exercise improves the body.\"

The subjects of the AMA study were American senior citizens undergoing cognitive
skills therapy, but Dr. Gibson asserts that analyses performed on children seeking
the same type of therapy at LearningRx brain training centers indicate the same
results; brain function can improve with appropriate brain training.

\"Our brain training, like the training in the AMA study, focuses on cognitive
skills,\" says Dr. Gibson. \"Weak cognitive skills are the cause of 80% of learning
problems. They include the skills we all need to read and learn---working and
long-term memory, auditory and visual processing and attention skills, among
others.\"

According to the results of the LearningRx statistical analyses and the AMA study,
the good news is that cognitive skills can be improved through intense one-on-one
training that trains subjects how to learn. The results of cognitive skills training
are dramatic and long-lasting. Among students participating in a 24-week LearningRx
reading program, the average improvement is 4 grade levels.

The LearningRx analyses was conducted in June 2006 by Educational Statistics
Consulting and is available by contacting LearningRx corporate offices at
www.learningrx.com. The AMA study was published last week in The Journal of the
American Medical Association and is available online at
