Company Overviews

About LearningRx

In the 1980's, brothers Dr. Ken Gibson and Dr. Keith Gibson-- a specialist in visual processing and a clinical psychologist, respectively-- sought a way to help people with learning difficulties to learn more quickly and easily. They developed a series of short, intense training exercises to improve concentration and recall abilities. Once this method proved successful in trials, they continued to test and enhance the program with input from other specialists in education, medicine and psychology, in order to help students with attention problems, dyxlexia, memory problems and other learning disabilities to improve their cognitive skills. Dr. Ken Gibson began franchising under the name LearningRx in 2003, and is currently the company's CEO.

About SOS Franchising

"Logo"

Success On The Spectrum was founded by Nichole Daher, an Autism mom who envisioned an ABA center that maximized the potential for progress for her daughter.
She created the perfect combination of the most effective methods of ABA science, a fun environment, community outings, safety, and high parent involvement.  
In addition, Nichole created a community outreach program that allowed the local community to come together.
Events like Autism Prom and Sensory-friendly Festivals allowed children to experience social milestones otherwise unavailable to them.  

After the original two centers boasted success and profit, Nichole founded SOS Franchising in order to share her mission with other passionate business owners.
We enthusiastically train and support new business owners to operate successful Success On The Spectrum centers.

SOS Franchising sells ABA franchises throughout the U.S.
