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

The results were all I hoped for and more. I came in looking for some change, but I watched my child completely transform because of this program. This will forever change the course of her education.

Emily (Franklin, TN)

I have seen my child grow not just academically, but also in believing in her own abilities to problem-solving. The team of professionals at this place truly understands the needs of each student and works tirelessly to help them excel in their cognitive skills. The positive impact LearningRx has had on my family is truly invaluable. Without a doubt LearningRx has my highest recommendation.

Sara (Colorado Springs, CO)

My son entered LearningRX as a very challenged reader. He had many of the skills he needed to read, but had a hard time putting those skills together. After working with a trainer at LearningRX for 20-weeks, his skills improved dramatically. His trainer, Will Atkinson, made the hard work of brain training fun for my 10-year old son. LearningRX accomplished what we had hoped it would and it was one of the best academic things we have ever done for our children.

Cindy (Colorado Springs, CO)

I can’t say enough good things about LearningRx in Shoreview! My son has made incredible progress since starting their program. The trainers are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about each child’s growth and success. The personalized brain training approach has helped boost his confidence, focus, and learning abilities in ways we never imagined. We’ve seen noticeable improvements in his reading, memory, and problem-solving skills.

Foo (Shoreview, MN)

The training really helped me prepare for college. All three staff members that I worked with were very helpful and nice. It was easy to schedule my trainings around my busy schedule. I am excited to start college and see how much this helped me improve in the classroom

Emily (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

LearningRx is the only effective tutoring method, and both my kids have made huge improvements. I have noticed a big change in my son’s reading; he is on an IEP and wasn’t making much progress, even though the district is taking credit and saying he is making progress with his current IEP, he lacked intervention from the district. I still believed that without outside support, he would not make any improvement.

Halimo (Minnetonka, MN)

He really connected with the tutors here works with Natalie and Illeana, and the sessions quickly became part of his routine without feeling overwhelming. The results speak for themselves. His reading skills have significantly improved from where he started, and we’ve seen his confidence grow along with his abilities.

Garrio (Brooklyn Park, MN)

My son’s reading and comprehension improved so much along with it his confidence.

Juan (Indianapolis NE, IN)

LearningRx in Shoreview is absolutely incredible. We are amazed at the progress our 8-year-old grandson has made since September. Focus, processing, memory functions and reading fluency have all been positively impacted. The staff is friendly and well trained. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience.

Jeanne (Shoreview, MN)

We began in the last month of a school year, with my 12 year old, flighty, eccentric little girl. On the side over the summer, this kid who always wanted to read along with audio books started reading chapter books for fun. I was encouraged. Then school started. We just finished our first week, and I noticed HUGE gains in her work. She focuses even on “boring” textbook reading really well, and her retention and comprehension is fantastic. I know she’s going to be able to make up for lost time on reading, writing, and math. I even noticed handwriting improvement!

Dana (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

LearningRx has been the best decision I ever made for my son. The growth and transformation I’ve seen academically has been astronomical. The one-on-one brain training has given him the foundation and tools needed to excel in school. I am beyond grateful for LearningRx and Ms. Makenzie his trainer.

Ashley (San Antonio NE, TX)

Our son had struggled with ADHD and OCD for many years through school. School continually struggled to meet his needs and adapt to someone that thinks differently. LearningRx has been absolutely life changing in the success of our son. His score improvements was a testament to that. The larger changes we saw were in day to day thinking, problem solving, attention to details, staying on track with a schedule and overall increased confidence was clear. The only thing is I wished we had found LearningRx earlier in his school career.

Adam (Savage, MN)

Our daughter’s confidence has grown through the roof! The entire staff was genuine and dedicated to helping achieve our goals. The results were amazing. Our trainer was dedicated and connected very well with our daughter. He was a fantastic motivator.

Kendra (Raleigh, NC)

My child was struggling so much with reading in school and at home. She had one-on-one help through the school for a full school year but was still significantly below grade level. Her frustration began to build with tests taking almost 3x longer for her to complete when compared to her peers. She started to dislike going to school because it was too difficult. She has grown tremendously with LearningRx. She is volunteering to read at school and has improved in her skills in many ways.

Jolene (Eagan, MN)

Mike’s presentation and workshop were captivating with his energy and stories of success. The LearningRx program would be a great fit for anyone, regardless of whether it’s “needed” or not – sharper thinking would be welcomed by any and all I think!

Bre (Fort Collins, CO)

I highly recommend this program for any child facing academic challenges. The staff was highly professional and accommodating, working around our schedule to provide the most convenient time slots. Their genuine concern and dedication to student success were evident throughout. They truly care about their students’ progress and well-being.

Tisha (Shreveport, LA)

My daughter trains there and we have seen the amount of time it takes her to do schoolwork lessen significantly. She also has a better time understanding math concepts.

Keri (Colorado Springs, CO)

I can not thank Michelle enough for all of your help with my son! I was extremely nervous about my son starting middle school. He did such an amazing job navigating around zoom. He is self-starting, helping his classmates and feeling confident. If it wasn’t for Learning RX I feel his new way of learning would have a much different outcome.

Cindy (Charlottesville, VA)

Tatum is so much more willing to try hard things, his reading has improved tremendously. We recently had a parent/teacher conference, and his teacher had such great things to say about him. He is being a leader in his classroom (which is new for him), he is working hard, and his math and reading skills are right where they should be.

Sara (Appleton, WI)

Will is now interested in reading on his own — he’s diving into books. It’s great to see him grow in this area, where he was not willing to do before. Will has grown in confidence and his self-esteem and is better able to deal with challenges when he’s faced with time.

Kelly (Chaska, MN)

I see her confidence level through the roof. She speaks about herself in a more positive light. She is catching onto new material quicker and does not get distracted as easily.

Erin (Appleton, WI)

I blamed ADHD for a lot of my problems and I came to LearningRX to help my ADHD so I could enact the changes I wanted to see. Mike paired me with a great trainer. Landon and I worked excellently together and were a great fit. Landon was professional, on task, focused, and flexible.

Dylan (Fort Collins, Colorado)

Our plan was individually tailored to our daughter’s needs, with essential measure of success and effectiveness built into it. Everyone involved, from the director to the trainer, support staff, etc. were very helpful. Lastly, high levels of communication were maintained and encouraged throughout the process.

David (Charlottesville, VA)

My daughter struggled with mathematics. The training and tutoring offered by LearningRx is a game changer.

Hugo (Shreveport, LA)

Mike was very engaging and knowledgeable and has an amazing background that fits perfectly with this work. He is also very passionate and truly cares about helping the people that come in. It is apparent that he is in this to change lives and that’s refreshing to find.

Alli (Fort Collins, CO)

I’m definitely seeing improvements in my child’s overall confidence with school. Reading has improved tremendously as well as spelling and handwriting. Organizational skills are also much improved. Our trainer was absolutely amazing! 6th grade is off to a good start!!

Matthew (Charlottesville, VA)

Learning RX has been very beneficial for my 11 year old. I can see improvements already (just about 3 months) with her memory, attention and focus. She is also building confidence as she progresses through the exercises and the various levels. With her learning challenges, she has always struggled with self-esteem. Her trainer is hands-down amazing. She gives her the perfect amount of support while also pushing her to keep going forward when things get really challenging. It’s obvious she has a genuine interest and deeply cares about my daughter’s progress and future success.

Kelly (Charlottesville, VA)

Dr. Ana is very kind, patient and easy to work with. She will help your child learn and thrive academically. LearningRx tells you why your child is not learning and helps improve his cognitive skills, so you don’t keep wasting your money on tutoring when s/he’s not yet ready.

DM (Cary, NC)

LearningRx gave me confidence and essential processing skills I needed for the future. I saw that when I worked at it, I could pass any level given to me, even if it seemed difficult at first. At school I began to finish tests more quickly and some homework assignments that I had were done faster than I thought they would take. Now that I have trained at LearningRx, I truly feel happier because of the amazing strides I have made from going though the program.

Adam (Shreveport, LA)

His trainer was fantastic and they were very flexible with scheduling. He can do math so much faster and easier. He listens and follows directions better and is able to stay on task with fewer reminders.

Katherine (Tysons, VA)

The dedicated and amazing team provided exceptional guidance and one-on-one training that truly made a difference. Not only has my son gained confidence, but he is also enjoying school more and performing better in his studies. The personalized approach and supportive environment made learning enjoyable and engaging for him. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking to make a positive change in their child’s educational journey.

Liezl (Katy, TX)

He was getting distracted really easily by other students and noises in the classroom and it hindered his ability to stay on task. I was nervous about the thought of him beginning to drive with how easily distracted he can get but after this program I have seen a huge difference in him. If your child is struggling to pay attention in a distracting school environment, feeling like they’re stupid, or not enjoying school because they’re having trouble completing tasks then this program is for them. Give yourself or your child this gift it’s worth it. I highly recommend this program!

Allie (Colorado Springs, CO)

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

Mary (Eden Prairie, MN)

The staff took a true interest in our son and developing a strategy to help him grow and succeed in life and his education.

Mandy (Fishers, IN)

Although I’m an adult, I greatly benefit from my training at LearningRx! After 6 months of training 3 days a week, I’m noticing I’m starting to calculate numbers in my head, which is huge since I was diagnosed with dyscalculia in my early 20’s! I’m even finding myself visualizing my next turn when driving, something I could never do before my training! LearningRx is helpful for all ages! I only wish I found them sooner!

Miranda (Reston, VA)

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)

My son is a 9th grader and has had a great experience at LearningRx. He enjoys the “brain games” that are a part of the learning process. Julie and Josh have been great to work with! We are excited to see the progress that he makes once he finishes the program.

Amber (Eagan, MN)

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)

Our son has increased his attention for a longer period of time in the classroom and is a more active participant during classroom discussions. Our son shows more willingness to read at home. He enjoyed coming to the session, working with his trainer and feeling comfortable in the learning environment. The directors and trainer were supportive of his learning.

Marie (Richmond Hill, ON)

LearningRx was a wonderful academic support for our daughter. The environment was fun, motivating and productive. We are so grateful for this resource in our community!

Lindsey (Colorado Springs, CO)

My daughter and son in-law needed to find a way to get their daughter some help with reading. They spoke with a few friends that had children that attended LearningRx with great success. After the evaluation she started and immediately embraced the learning process. I feel very fortunate to be able to bring her to the classes when I can. I am very impressed with her progress in such a short time. Her goal is to be able to read a chapter book like her siblings mine is just to see her read without out her being embarrassed.

Corky (Shoreview, MN)

The improvement in his overall willingness to work on academics has been wonderful. I am a big fan! He has learned to keep trying, mistakes or wrong answers are okay. He no longer gets as frustrated or upset with wrong answers.

Angela (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

LearningRx was recommended to my family by a teacher that took the time to see the potential that my child had. LearningRx was able to assist my child into becoming a more confident and happier student. This brain training was the best decision our family has made.

Tiffany (Colorado Springs, CO)

The improvements my son experienced were undeniable and I think their program is very well done. My son was really struggling with auditory processing issues and he was spiraling at home and school. LearningRx not only identified what his issues were, but they explained them in such a way that took the fear out of the unknown.

Ever (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

Very impressed with the rapid improvement in focus and motivation after just a month of sessions.

Cindy (Eagan, MN)

We are new to LearningRx. But we love it. Staff are friendly, easy to talk to and helpful. My son likes his coach Gina. She always has smile on her face and great communicator.

Hani (St. Louis Park, MN)

I can comprehend what I read better, and my writing skills have generally improved (whether it is more reflective or academic writing). I have also noticed improvements in my overall memory. The activities completed each session were very helpful in my improvement.

Aditi (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

LearningRx provided great care and confidence for my son who had specific areas of weakness in processing speeds and over all higher thinking. Sandy was incredibly helpful, patient, insightful and flexible while we worked through my son’s program.

Natalie (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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