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!

My son went into the program with poor study habits, limited memory recall, and zero confidence. During, and at the end, of the program his study skills, confidence, and grades have dramatically improved. I highly recommend the program!

Sam M. (Chandler, AZ)

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)

My son is doing so much better in school, he can focus on what needs to be done. Homework and projects would take HOURS for him to finish. Not anymore. He’s able to use time at school more effectively, which helps reduce the amount of homework he has. His focus, verbal comprehension, and auditory processing have improved so much and that was my main expectation of LearningRx.

Heather (Appleton, WI)

LearningRx has been amazing for my daughter! We’ve seen huge improvements in her cognitive skills, memory, comprehension, reading, math, and most importantly—her confidence. Working with Jacci has been such a blessing. The results speak for themselves—my daughter’s confidence and grades last semester improved dramatically.

Matthew G. (Appleton, WI)

Lots of improvement in his scores. Completely different kid!

Ms Barkley (Texarkana, TX)

For two or three years I knew something wasn’t right. The school kept telling me that he was at grade level and that it was okay. But it wasn’t okay, because he would avoid reading. We came [to LearningRx] in September and thy confirmed he had an auditory processing problem. It feels like the pressure is off my shoulders.

L. Jakeman (Shreveport, LA)

I worked remotely with Kim! She is amazing! This program helped me regain working memory skills, processing speed, & more after a traumatic brain injury! I HIGHLY recommend!!!

Emily (Chattanooga East, TN)

Michael’s confidence has increased and that is priceless. He is more content because he knows he can handle whatever is thrown his way. Michael’s self-esteem and confidence has grown, and this was so important to me. His attitude has changed from giving up before he has even started to sitting down and tackling the task!

Ryan (Tysons, VA)

Miss Kathy was very helpful and understanding. She had great patients while working with Amelia.

Craig & Sarah (Indianapolis NE, IN)

The reason why I could succeed was that I was on ADHD medication, but the medication made me extremely depressed and enraged all of the time. When I stopped taking it, I was filled with great joy because of my newfound freedom. But something was still wrong. Without the medication, I forgot the first part of the sentence by the end of the second part of the sentence. My imagination never turned off, and despite going to school an hour early and tutoring for an hour after school, I barely passed with Cs. Then I enrolled in LearningRx. Within three months, I was on fire. I could concentrate, handle awkward social situations, find motivation, put my creative ideas in paper. I attacked school with newfound strength. Last year I was the slowest kid in the class, but this year I am one of the fastest and smartest.

Mark (Shreveport, LA)

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)

Overall, his reading ability improved, and his confidence level has greatly improved! I thought his trainer did an exceptional job with him and he really liked working with her! Overall, I am happy with his growth and look forward to him applying what he learned.

Jay (Maple Grove, MN)

I feel his reading comprehension has improved a lot and that was a big struggle coming into the program.

Cari (Savage, MN)

Excellent experience for our son, helped with focus and executive function!

Andrew (Eagan, MN)

Leanne has been so accommodating and caring towards our family. Ashley is an excellent instructor and made such a strong effort to build a relationship with my daughter. With both professionals caring for my daughter, she has made tremendous growth.

Jennifer (Irvine, CA)

I can’t possibly say enough about LearningRx Columbus. They have been absolutely amazing with my son. He struggles with memory and overall processing information. He isn’t done with the program and I am already seeing such a huge difference. What’s also amazing is that he likes it. He does the program over zoom twice a week.

Melissa (Dublin, OH)

We have been able to reduce his ADHD medication and have seen improved focus. His reading skills have improved as well.

Mrs Coston (Texarkana, TX)

The team at LearningRx was really phenomenal! They worked with my son to help him with his reasoning and executive function skills. I really see the difference it has made in our lives. The staff was responsive and flexible, and my son loved his trainers. I recommend this program for anyone struggling with management or organizational skills!

Samia (Irvine, CA)

Micah’s ability to learn without ‘freezing’ is the biggest improvement. Micah’s abilities to spell, write, read, follow instruction have all drastically improved. Micah’s confidence has improved. His excitement of learning has skyrocketed.

Marilyn (Chandler, AZ)

LearningRx is the best decision my family ever made for my daughter. We didn’t tell her teachers that she was getting executive functioning coaching, so it’s amazing when they comment on how much more on top of things she has become this year! My daughter feels like her coach is her best friend and is excited every time she has class.

Erin (Cedar Rapids, IA)

Our son’s attention span and just simple ability to focus on activities is so much better than it was when we started. This enables him to actually listen to teachers at school and retain the information.

Ellen (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

We are just a month or so in to my boys training, and I have already seen significant improvement. We chose to do the home training a couple hours a week, which I wasn’t sure was going to be doable. Although some weeks are more of a challenge than others, we have been able to accomplish it every week so far. I prayed for weeks for the Lord to show me what I needed to do for my boys, and He led me to Learning RX in an overwhelming way.

Kelli (Chattanooga East, TN)

Amazing! The people here actually care, are extremely knowledgeable and have helped my daughter gain the confidence and tools she needs to soar!

Ross (Woodbury, MN)

Dylan is more independent, confident, and resilient. He is capable of completing tasks now without our intervention or support.

Bryce (Irvine, CA)

Our experience in LearningRx has been the best decision we ever made. The trainers are the best and the passion they put into it made a difference in my child’s life. We have seen so much improvement on our son that from day one we knew we were at the right place to starting to read and now able to even read and text back to people when before he was using voice command. He grew self-esteem and more.

Cyndy (Sugar Land, TX)

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 is a great place to train the brain skills of your kids and yourself. The learning skills, the self-esteem and self-confidence building is great. The highly educated and experienced teachers as well as are very helpful and the friendly staff are superb. It is a great place, and I highly recommend. it.

Abdi (Shoreview, MN)

LearningRx has made a HUGE difference in my son’s ability to read and write, as well as his math and attention-based skills in general. He and I had already worked very hard for years using Logic of English, and made progress, but it wasn’t enough to keep him at grade level. He’s gone from a 4th-grade level to an 8th-grade level in 9 months… Additionally, he’s been doing his work with his trainer, so he’s been able to make good use of his extra time at home.

Heidi (Charlottesville, VA)

During and after training we have seen a lot of great improvements in my son. There was a big leap in maturity and ability to think reasonably and logically about situations and problems. His task endurance has gone up significantly. Reading ability has improved. Overall his grades at school are really good. His ability to participate in group work has greatly improved. Thanks to Nick and the wonderful folks at LearningRx!

Lacy (Charlottesville, VA)

The director and staff of trainers are awesome. They demonstrated their care and concern for my successful completion of the program each time I had class. I have spoken highly of them to others and recommended them to several people that I felt could benefit from the program.

Pamela (Charlottesville, VA)

I am so thankful for Kathi and LearningRx! I was able to get my mom’s memory assessed and it was better than we hoped. We also have a great 12-week plan and long-term strategy to keep her as sharp as possible. My mom is so happy! Kathi’s knowledge, experience and patience was fantastic! Now I am getting my daughter in to see her as soon as possible before she heads to college!

Patti (Highland Ranch, CO)

Noticeable improvement in study habit. She’s become a more diligent worker. She can focus for a longer period of time when doing schoolwork. She understands math more than she used to.

Sonia (Chandler, AZ)

Truly excellent program. Staff was excellent to work with. They kept us informed and were flexible with schedule changes when needed. My child’s progress was tremendous. Grades went up and her attitude towards school became more positive. I definitely recommend LearningRx.

Pj (Colorado Springs, CO)

I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!! Mrs. Michelle Davis & the staff are SO wonderful in accommodating my Autism… They are above and beyond amazing! This review cannot even describe how much I adore them! Hats off with many hearts to send to this organization.

James (Chattanooga, TN)

The entire LearningRx team and program made a tremendous impact on our daughter’s reading and processing speed. We loved working with all of the trainers and especially appreciated Ms. Gina’s dedication and care for our daughter’s growth and progress.

Nicole (Eden Prairie, MN)

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 daughter was in a heart-wrenching fog of child development when we sought LearningRx for support. With their ability to forge a nurturing and highly positive relationship with my daughter, LearningRx truly planted the seed of ‘learning to learn’, and that learning is both ‘important’ AND ‘fun’. My daughter is now thriving in kindergarten.

Eric (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

Caroline had positive results from the program. The team was consultative and provided regular feedback about Caroline’s progress. Also, the team was flexible with scheduling conflicts. Stronger test scores in school.

Lydia (Short Hills, NJ)

Learning Rx Chattanooga took my child from struggling to soaring. He has gained more confidence in himself than I could have ever imagined.

Shannon (Chattanooga East, TN)

My daughter was having a hard time and school and LearningRx changed that. Her confidence is remarkable now.

Ms Rosales (Texarkana, TX)

My son is on the spectrum and doesn’t do well with classroom learning and the environment here has been great for him. If you have a struggling learner and/or reader, I HIGHLY recommend brain training. The more I have learned about tutoring vs brain training, the more I wish I had gotten him here sooner.

Heidi (Eagan, MN)

Michelle and staff have taken a great interest in both of our children. They worked with our hectic schedules to get our son through the program and are now beginning the process all over again with our youngest. We are excited to be working with them again!!!

Holt Family (Chattanooga East, TN)

This place is the BEST! Both my sons went here starting in Kinder and the only thing I regret is NOT doing it sooner! They have boosted their confidence and got them reading in no time! How do I forget about there math skills too – great place!

Jacoba C. (Chandler, AZ)

Our daughter has enjoyed LearningRx and went from struggling to finish assignments to completing them and doing them correctly. She never wanted to read on her own without prompting and now will pick up books by herself to read. She said this is her best school year so far which is a huge change from the previous years. She is able to remember what is being told to her without having to repeatedly tell her.

Lindsey (River Valley, AR)

The supportive and patient team at LearningRx provided a truly empowering experience, offering flexible scheduling that catered to my unique needs and goals, while their cognitive assessment and brain training programs helped alleviate my memory problems and improve my logic and reasoning skills.

Sabrina (Highlands Ranch, CO)

From the moment I contacted Maureen to the last day, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. Our concerns about Omar were addressed, and a clear plan of action was given to us. A huge bonus was that Omar actually looked forward to going to see his teacher Tully and later Katie. On several occasions, I’ve heard Omar telling his friends how LearningRx is the best kind of tutoring he’s had because it’s “actually fun.”

Sarah (Tysons, VA)

Fantastic staff and program. Really helped my child on her ability to do schoolwork. This year she has been spending about half as much time on assignments and her memorization is largely improved.

Kathryn (Fort Collins, CO)

Our experience with Jacci and her team at LearningRx was fantastic! Our daughter started the program the summer before 3rd grade with goals to improve her reading fluency and math concepts…As she worked through the LearningRx program, her self-confidence and processing speed drastically improved, she no longer needed “special help” at school and she got A’s in reading and math! The encouragement and support from the staff was incredible! Thank you to Jacci, Olivia, and the entire team! We are absolutely thrilled with our daughter’s results and are forever grateful!

Sarah (Appleton, WI)

Our son’s short-term memory has improved. He has a longer attention span and is more resilient.

Kenneth (San Antonio NE, TX)

I love being engaged with my trainer. My family feels I am thinking better and not as easily agitated.

Yvonne (Milwaukee-Brookfield WI)

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