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!

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)

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)

We signed our daughter up for sessions at LearningRx while she was struggling with 7th grade Civics. The trainers were great, forming personal connections with her, which helped her be more open to the curriculum and sessions. LearningRx gave us regular progress updates, and they were very encouraging of her progress.

Megan (Charlottesville, VA)

Definitely would recommend. My son was having a hard time focusing and would daydream a lot. His attitude and confidence started to tank after his grades weren’t matching his siblings. Not too long after we started LearningRx, his attitude started to improve, and he is happier than ever. He is confident and is doing so much better in his schoolwork. He started soccer again and this season he is participating, engaged in the game and scored his first goal this weekend.

Kristen (Glendale, AZ)

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)

I am a medical doctor and like to refer to LearningRx to get to the root causes of learning struggles. We have seen a lot of improvement in reading! Our daughter has met the benchmark so we decided to add extra hours to get her a little further. Our daughter pushed back a bit but her trainers were able to help her get over that phase.

Andrea (Alpharetta, GA)

LearningRx introduced me to the term “neuroplasticity,” and I have seen its effects in both of my sons…Not only did their grades improve at the time, but in the years since then, they have continued to benefit from the skills they developed from their LearningRx training. The improved ability to focus is one such skill…My other son benefitted especially in the area of math skills, and he is still able to mentally perform math calculations with amazing speed.

Linz (Charlottesville, VA)

Hazel started out unwilling to even try when it came to learning. Now, after completing her program at LearningRx she happily completes her homework and comes home from school excited to tell me all about what she learned! Not only have her academic skills improved but her self confidence and her willingness to TRY something new has improved as well.

Kayla (Fort Collins, CO)

He has struggled with reading and writing since preschool and only continued to fall further behind even with an IEP/school support plan. Coming to LearningRx has been the best decision we have ever made for our son. He absolutely loves coming, the staff is extremely friendly and, also encouraging. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his reading skills and working memory.

Susan (Shoreview, MN)

The staff is wonderful! I was having trouble with memory and retention and now I am confident (without having to always double check myself).

Ashley (Chattanooga East, TN)

I just finished training my brain with LearningRx and took my post assessment this week. Y’all, my scores went UP in every cognitive function category! I can concentrate all day on many different tasks and not get distracted or fatigued. I have always had to juggle many many things as an independent contractor and now I feel on top of all of them! I highly recommend looking into the benefits of cognitive training, especially if you’re starting to feel like your memory and focus is slipping. I can not recommend this program enough! Thanks to Dargan, my trainer, Jessica, and the incredible staff! I’m so grateful for what you do❤️❤️❤️

Elizabeth (Charlottesville, VA)

We are so thrilled with our sons results. He had a blast and now his focus and attention is so much better. Thank you

Meredith (Irvine, CA)

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

Elizabeth (Eagan, MN)

After doing so much research and not seeing any hope to help my son, I stumbled across LearningRx. We were skeptical but really put our faith in Gina and the program. Over the past 8 months, my son’s grades have increased, he’s a better student, and his confidence level has increased. We’re so happy with his results and we haven’t seen the post assessment results yet.

LaQuanda (San Antonio, NE, TX)

I would recommend LearningRx to anyone that is looking to grow and improve. Enjoyed it very much and gained so much during my experience. Caitlin was a WONDERFUL trainer! She helped me so much and made the experience an absolute pleasure!

Travis (Colorado Springs, CO)

Excellent training by very caring and encouraging teachers! They always made me feel good about myself and taught me skills that I could apply in my everyday life. I feel much more confident and want to continue training to sharpen my skills and stay on top of things! Thank you Learning RX and, a special thanks to Mary, I will miss you! I will always remember your words of wisdom!

Jeanie (Chattanooga East, TN)

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 had Carolyn for my child’s trainer. Can’t say enough good things about this lady. Always encouraging and supportive. Never made training seem like a chore. Kept my child engaged and eager to keep coming back for more! Highly recommend LearningRx and Ms. Carolyn!

Dee (Cary, NC)

I recently just finish read rx program. The trainer I work with was Caitlin Mulkern and she was an awesome trainer. She pushed me past my comfort zone to accomplish my goals. going through the process I saw improvements and growth. Kudos to me and Caitlin….

Mike (Colorado Springs, CO)

When I first came to LearningRx I was not sure they could help me. I had not learned how to focus and I had real problems with math—all kinds. Then I began to see results of the training as did others around me. The most drastic results were noticed by my math tutor. She could not believe the focus and memory that I now had.

Annie (Shreveport, LA)

It helped my child to grow in confidence and life skills. My child has more confidence, attention and focus.

Cindy (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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)

What an amazing experience! Our child (8) with ADHD and likely dyslexia had difficulty picking up reading/spelling/language before this program. He is now on track for his age and grade for reading but his memory, focus, and brain stamina have all exponentially expanded. Would highly recommend.

Terry C. (Charlottesville, VA)

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 have seen a huge difference in how Rebekah processes information given to her. She doesn’t struggle to formulate the answer. Rebekah takes her time and to think through the problem or question she has to answer. You can actually see her processing the information she has been given.

Karen (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

We have been very pleased with Kaelyn’s second round of training. The staff understood what she specifically needed and helped her to build more confidence and better math and comprehension skills. We have seen so many improvements.

Elena (Reston, VA)

Our experience with Learning Rx was very valuable. Gabriella helped my child so much during their time together. She worked really hard to make our goals happen. So many great strides were made in the areas of struggle.

Charity Cleary (Cary, NC)

LearningRx has been a game-changer for both of my boys! We’ve seen remarkable progress in their cognitive skills—far beyond our expectations. What truly set the LearningRx Eagan program apart is the patience, precision, and genuine empathy each instructor brings. Every coach is deeply committed to their students’ success—and it shows in every session. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found LearningRx and can’t recommend it highly enough to any family looking to unlock their child’s full potential.

Abhik (Eagan, MN)

This is an awesome program, my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia and LearningRx really helped her to improve in her reading and her self-esteem skyrocketed. Chloe’s behavior has gotten better in the classroom and her grades greatly improved. Donesa Walker and her staff are amazing. I would recommend this program if you wanted to see your child improve in the classroom.

Tammie (Shreveport, LA)

We had a great experience with LearningRx and have had a lot of growth academically. The staff is wonderful, and we would do it all over again.

Lindsey (Shreveport, LA)

Following a hospital stay for long Covid, I became aware that LearningRx was offering a program to help clients that had experienced this disease. The program was creative, and I actually enjoyed the cognitive challenge of each session as I advanced thru the skills . Following this program I feel that I am now much more productive than I use to be and it’s easier to adjust to changes in routines.

Judith (Charlottesville, 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)

I completed a 6 month course of brain training with LearningRX…I found Dargan through the Stroke Comback club after his presentation there and I was hooked. I suffered a second stroke…and had to stop working as a Registered Nurse…Because of the stroke, I suffered memory and concentration issues and even lost reading and writing ability. LearningRX gave me the confidence to live on my own independently.

Jean (Charlottesville, VA)

The gains my son made in this program have truly improved his school career. My son has more confidence in school and in his work, he’s reading faster, and more willing to read at home.

Kathleen (River Valley, AR)

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)

Since coming to LearningRx, our daughter has gained confidence and independence. While doing homework or practice worksheets, she used to fight to avoid the work and now eagerly sits down to work on things. Since LearningRx started with our daughter, we have gone from her being below national standards to now being on track. Carol, her LearningRx teacher has been amazing with our daughter – keeping her on-task and when our daughter is not focusing, she has immediately been able to redirect her and get her back on track.

Latisha B. (Chandler, AZ)

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)

Huge academic improvements in all directions. Improvements in reading, listening, logic, behavioral treatment toward people. Limitless topics.

Naomi (Savage, MN)

Improved memory and understanding, increased confidence and willingness to try new or hard things.

Valerie (Savage, MN)

The changes my husband and I have seen in our daughter are so life changing for her. She is ready for kindergarten and ready for the rest of her life. Our daughter has much better impulse control and ability to adapt to a new challenging situation. When she is presented with a new task or learning skill that she finds challenging she does not shut down, during the time of the training she has transformed to be able to accept the challenge and process how she will conquer the challenge.

Katie (Appleton, WI)

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

Ms Rosales (Texarkana, TX)

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

Kenneth (San Antonio NE, TX)

My great grandson was having so much difficulty in school with his reading and they had helped him so much before with all his skills, I knew this would be the way to go.

Ms Whitmer (Texarkana, TX)

Reading level has gone up. I have also noticed a huge improvement in Holden’s vocabulary. He still takes a while to process things but his ability to process thoughts has significantly improved.

Ms Walker (Texarkana, TX)

It has changed the way we interact with our children. From homeschooling, to discipline, it’s made a difference in how we work together as a family. I highly recommend! Each one of our kids have grown in effective communication and discipline.

Amanda (Pensacola, FL)

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)

I saw improvement with my child’s ability to remember simple tasks without assistance. I noticed that he would strive to continue working on something even if it became difficult. The trainers were all very patient with him and understood his ability.

Ms Curtis (Texarkana, TX)

Abhik (Savage, MN)

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)

Kellen is an amazing trainer he truly cares about you as a student and your growth. It is also a very nice facility that is welcoming with very nice staff that makes you feel welcome.

Andrew (Shoreview, MN)

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