LearningRx Website Survey

We need your help! We’re working on a new website, but we can go no further until we hear from you. This new website is for you – our readers and students and friends – so we want you to like it! Here’s how you can give us your opinion AND be among the first to see our new design.

Go to this link to fill out a brief survey. It’s a series of easy questions like “which picture do you like better?” and “which button do you want to click on first?” and “would you recommend this site to a friend?” Once you’re done, we’ll ask you a few questions about yourself, and that’s it.

Your support enables us to continue changing lives every day.  Thank you!
