Dr. Ken Gibson began his professional career as an optometrist and pediatric vision specialist. However, his passion for helping struggling readers prompted him to find out why students continued to struggle after vision therapy.
After some initial success with his early cognitive programs, Dr. Gibson spent several decades researching and developing programs to measure and train core cognitive skills. During this period, he trained more than 1,000 professionals in the fields of education, medicine, and psychology on how to use his brain-building techniques to help their own clients and patients.
Then in 2002, Dr. Gibson founded LearningRx Brain Training Centers to make brain training accessible to more families. In 2003, he began franchising LearningRx in the education franchise and child franchise industries. Today, LearningRx is the largest one-on-one brain training company in the world, having completed more than 6 million brain training sessions with centers in 37+ countries around the globe.
Dr. Gibson’s daughter and one of his first students and brain trainers, Kim joined LearningRx in 2004 as VP of Support. In 2017, she became CEO. She has a family with four children and is a potter extraordinaire!
