Trainer and student high five at LearningRx

Brain Training and Autism

LearningRx explained so much and provided hope for a way to give our intelligent girl a brighter future. “

Finding help with autism shouldn’t be a challenge. LearningRx makes it easy to get started with brain training. By customizing our training plans, we embrace the neurodiversity that characterizes autism. More importantly, this approach allows us to tailor training to each learner’s individual needs.

While brain training isn’t a treatment for autism, it has helped individuals with autism improve core cognitive skills. These include skills used for:

Reading & writing
Math
Focus & concentration
Memorization & mental processing

While individual results may vary, we’d love the opportunity to work with you or your child!

Brain Training or Tutoring for Autism?

Kids and teens with autism sometimes have trouble with school or with specific subjects. In response, parents often turn to a tutor — or even an autism tutoring service. While this can be helpful for some students, others see little benefit from tutoring.

One reason for this is that autism tutoring is focused on delivering subject matter. Students can spend more time with the material, but tutoring won’t change their underlying learning and thinking skills.

Brain training takes an alternative approach, focusing on the skills that students need for thinking and learning.

By helping kids and teens with autism develop new learning and thinking skills, brain training has been a game-changer for many students on the spectrum.

Our Approach is Backed by Science

In fact, one out of every 22 LearningRx graduates has been diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) before starting brain training!

Our experience shows how brain training programs have helped kids, teens, and adults on the autism spectrum. Between 2010 and 2022, kids and teens with an ASD diagnosis improved learning and thinking skills by 3.1 years on average after brain training with LearningRx!

Hear from our Students and Families

We have noticed that homework is being done faster and even being started on his own. He has less negative talk and less time lost through behavioral issues at school as a result of not understanding the material. He has confidence for the first time in his life and truly believes he can do things that are hard and trusts himself.

Amanda (Dayton, MN)

We are so pleased with the results of our experience with LearningRx! Our student has increased in his attention and processing, as well as his ability to persevere through difficult or non-preferred tasks. We are very impressed with his improvement and happy we chose LearningRx!

Devon (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

I recently took an assessment at LearningRx along with my son, and I was very impressed with the entire experience. The staff was professional, welcoming, and explained everything clearly. The environment was clean, organized, and made us feel comfortable from the start. My 15-year-old son has now started brain training sessions, and we’re already seeing how engaged and motivated he is. It’s been a great step for his development, and I appreciate the personalized attention and structure they provide.

Marissa (Houston Central, TX)

Molly did a great job as well. She helped explain the results, being thorough and clear with the plan. She was very good with Embry making sure to challenge her and encourage her.

Jenn (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

David has done an amazing job helping me with tutoring for ministry college classes, thank you so much David. It’s made all the difference!

Abby (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

Our son really enjoyed his trainer. His confidence is so much better. We saw big changes in logic and reasoning and comprehension.

Ena (Alpharetta, GA)

Reading comprehension has improved. Math skills have improved.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

The results with my son have exceeded all expectations!!! Kevin and Jill are the most dedicated, caring and encouraging team my son has ever worked with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Holly (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

I loved this place because the people that teach it create a fun environment, the games that are incorporated are really fun to play while also learning a lot through them too!

Lukas (Woodbury, MN)

LearningRx has a positive and fun environment that makes learning fun for my 8-year-old who needs help with reading. All the staff are friendly and care about each individual child. In just a few short months I have seen a more positive attitude and more self confidence in my son.

Nicole (San Antonio NE, TX)

The personalized attention and encouraging environment have boosted both his confidence and his academic performance. We’ve seen a significant change in him. Seeing our son progress during his senior year has been incredibly rewarding. After years of struggling, he’s finally experiencing success in his learning journey. For parents of students who have consistently faced academic challenges, we highly recommend giving LearningRx a chance.

Nicole (Savage, MN)

After he completed the program the first year, his reading significantly improved along with his word attack. He loves to read and this really helped his confidence. I would highly recommend this program for anyone struggling with reading comprehension and math skills, especially if you tried traditional tutoring. This is not a tutoring program, it is building a foundation on how to process skills in order to perform well in all areas of life including school. If you are like us that tried everything and nothing has worked, I would recommend giving LearningRx/Doug Mapp a call and let him help!

Brian (Knoxville, TN)

Greater ability to pay attention, work through hard things, speed in processing thoughts.

Mary (Eden Prairie, MN)

We’ve had an incredible experience with LearningRx in Peoria! My nephew has made huge progress, and one of the most noticeable changes has been how much less time he now spends on homework. What used to take hours is now done in a fraction of the time—and with far less frustration. Lara was especially wonderful to work with—she made the whole process smooth and supportive from day one. We’re so grateful for the care and attention he received. Highly recommend!

Kimberly (Glendale, AZ)

LearningRx was the best decision we ever made for our daughter. She was struggling with reading, and her confidence was very low in school. Mary was her instructor and exceeded in every way. I saw major improvements within her program time frame. Very happy with the results.

Sandy (Charlottesville, VA)

My son used to need help to do homework and anything for school, now he sits and reads and does everything by himself, it is amazing how he is doing at school and little by little he is gaining confidence. I love everyone at LearningRx and highly recommend it to everybody.

Eyvis (Appleton, WI)

My daughter is more confident and independent. She interrupts less and engages in conversation more seamlessly with people. She sits much more still in her chair, rather than fidgeting or always bringing her knees up to the table. She has improved time management skills and can follow through with several tasks at a time.

Megan (NWA South, AR)

We are so happy that we found LearningRx! Trainer Margaret encouraged and helped our boy reach his benchmarks. We saw improvements in his self-esteem in learning, as well as improvements in his academics. We highly recommend LearningRx!

Deanna (Charlottesville, VA)

Our daughter has improved in reading, which is making school and homework easier. She is more confident, so her behavior is better.

Tifani (Appleton, WI)

My son has progressed in his reading & math skills tremendously.

Ms Jackson (Texarkana, TX)

Our adopted daughter struggled in every socially setting and with impulse control. She made so much progress in this program are watching her thrive every day. We were educated and well informed after our daughter’s testing. We were communicated with well about scheduling, sessions and progress. At completion we were not surprised at the awesome progress our daughter had made, because we saw her growth as it happened.

Renee (River Valley, AR)

Working with Dr. Jackson and the staff at LearningRx has helped me understand where my 13-year-old son has struggles. His pretest showed that his auditory processing was around 6 years of age. The post test showed a significant 10-year gain which has resulted in less frustration when given tasks to complete. His visual, logic-reasoning and processing speed increased. His attention and focus has improved so much during this training. Don’t hesitate to reach out to learn how you can help your struggling learner.

Maggie (River Valley, AR)

LearningRx has been such a game changer for our 9-year-old. We are so thankful for them!

Chris (Chattanooga, TN)

We have seen how much Lexi has improved in her reading and overall interest in learning. It has given her confidence in school overall.

Kathy (Coon Rapids, MN)

My son has been going to LearningRx since about August. He is now in Junior Honor Society for his school. This is brand new for him. I highly recommend this place. It is really an investment in your child’s future and well worth the cost!

Julie (Shreveport, LA)

Our 10-year-old daughter continued having learning problems. After 2 months of LearningRx, she has more confidence in her learning ability, and she is already getting better grades in English! We can’t wait to see all the great things she will accomplish with this program!

Bridget (Minneapolis, MN)

The training at LearningRx for my daughter helped on her attention and memory resulting in big improvement of the understanding and reading comprehension. The directors are very friendly, knowledgeable, and adaptive with well management skills.

Liping (Richmond Hill, ON)

My daughter has struggled with school since kindergarten. She ended up having ADHD and Dyslexia. I was and still am in awe, in 9 months my daughter has grown tremendously. She is now a graduate of this training program and can confidently say the skills she gained has helped and will help her for the rest of her life.

Carolina (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

We saw so many little changes throughout the journey towards his growth that we couldn’t have done it without this program.

Ram (Indianapolis NE, IN)

When Katrina first came to LearningRx, we had a frustrated, almost angry daughter who was having a difficult time at school and receiving poor grades. To our delight, Katrina has made a transformation back into her true self in many ways. She’s happy again, speaking positively about her work, her performance, school, and herself in general. For the first time she wants to share what happened at school. She has shown such an attitude switch in many areas, we are thrilled.

Jane (Shreveport, LA)

This program made a huge difference in my son’s cognitive skills! In pre-assessment, he scored well below average in 7 out of 9 skills. By the end of the program, he scored average to well above average in 7 of the 10 skills, while still showing huge growth in the two lower scoring skills. I highly recommend this program if your child struggles at all in any area!

Jennifer (River, Valley, AR)

LearningRx provided the missing link we would not have been able to get anywhere else, at least to my knowledge. I was a high school English teacher for 13 years, and I know exactly where he would have ended up without LearningRx. It’s impossible to say the impact this program has had on him, but we saw him improve in pretty much all aspects of his life including academics, athletics, and socially.

Dana (Appleton, WI)

My son participated in a shortened version of training (out of the kindness of Gina’s heart) and my son tested with phenomenal results of improvements in every area. Absolutely amazing!

Sarah (San Antonio, NE, TX)

We initially tried a going to a learning/tutoring type center. But when the administer expressed doubts about my child’s ability to comprehend tasks directions and to work independently, I began searching for a program that would aid comprehension. This led to my internet search and in me finding LearningRx. It was a blessing and miracle, very early on, to see my child perform multi-step commands without additional prompts by me. Now, we have seen a true love of writing after practice with the Learning Rx trainer.

Ericka (Raleigh, NC)

His schoolwork and grades are improved. His communication at home is also better.

Ms Rudd (Texarkana, TX)

LearningRx was our saving grace. I searched high and low for services like this and finally found them. My son was struggling so bad in school and was so far behind his peers. He not only lacked the educational ability, but he lacked confidence. For the last year and a half, he went here and they built his confidence beyond what I could ever imagine. After suffering an acquired brain injury, I never thought I’d hear my son read. But thanks to the wonderful staff at LearningRx he is now reading and excited to learn.

Stacey Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

LearningRx has made such a difference in the lives of my children. My oldest daughter wanted to give high school a try (she is homeschooled). She was a bit nervous because she thought that she might not be able to keep pace with the other students due to her dyslexia. LearningRx gave her the confidence to try. Her first semester in high school she was on the honor roll. LearningRx, their tools and strategies WORK!

Carmel (Dublin, OH)

My daughter was really struggling to read. Letter recognition and phonetics were so hard for her to remember. She was also struggling to stay focused for an extended period of time as well. After attending LearningRx for the past few months, we have seen drastic changes. Not only does she now know her letters and sounds. She’s READING! This program has helped her confidence in school. She is able to do seat work with little to no guidance from her teacher.

Shauron (San Antonio NE, TX)

Abhik (Savage, MN)

Jacob began a journey of improving the areas that were holding him back from improving all areas of learning. He was working 10 times harder than all the other kids in school but not seeing much return. Now, I see him working hard, able to stay focused, and see the right response from the work he puts in… which has increased his ability to want to learn.

Amanda (Pensacola, FL)

LearningRx Eden Prairie outperformed our expectations! I was honestly a bit skeptical about it at first but going in talking to Baird understanding how they approached things all made sense. Our teenage son completed the program and the transformation of his confidence, wittiness, memory, grades (when he applied himself) and overall ability to recognize situations was life changing.

Mike (Minneapolis, MN)

It’s great working with LearningRx. Max started seeing improvement after the second week of session. I would definitely recommend LearningRx!

Kim (Chattanooga, TN)

Increased confidence, social skills and emotional regulation. Increase ability to sound out words and reading comprehension.

Alexa (Minnetonka, MN)

LearningRx has been great for improving my son’s focus. The staff is supportive, and the personalized program really works. Highly recommend!

Sherry (Eagan, MN)

We had our 11th grade son go to LearningRx because he was struggling with reading comprehension and listening comprehension. We were a bit worried that it would be too elementary as the other programs we looked into were. We were pleasantly surprised by the result and highly recommend it to anyone! Our son was able to make gains in all areas as well as gain much needed confidence to tackle any future challenge that comes his way!

Kellie (Woodbury, MN)

Itty is way more confident in her abilities as a student. She can finally read fluently and is able to decipher written language. She has said that school feels easier in general and makes more sense.

Kim (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

Our son made amazing gains over the course of his time at LearningRx. In comparison to medication and other things we have tried, we have seen the most significant change from the LearningRx program. His memory has improved. He used to not be able to remember anything that occurred in his classes at school and now he can remember most of the key points and has even begun taking a few notes.

Jana (NWA South, AR)

What a difference 7 months makes. Thank you Khai, Jeri, and Jermy. Special thanks to Emily and Darian for their dedication and support. You both have made a positive and valuable improvement on my son. I am truly grateful and appreciative for your outstanding help. Thanks to Ada for filing in a couple of times.

Keisha & Nathan (Richmond Hill, ON)

I see positive changes in my child’s personally and school wise. My child’s spelling has improved as well as verbal communication.

Sarah (Fairfax, VA)

My went through the program and it helped him a great deal at school and many other aspects of his life.

Elizabeth (Eagan, MN)

While individual results may vary, we’d love the opportunity to work with you or your child!
