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!

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 daughter started high school with little to no academic confidence. Day 1 she felt defeated, lost and unhappy. My husband and I made the right decision when we signed her up for LearningRx! We quickly figured out what was lacking in her learning environment; and we transferred her to a new school. She diligently worked 3 sessions a week with her LearningRx coach all while making time to catch up on new curriculum. To our amazement, her auditory processing accelerated; she picked up a new book to read on her own and often shared with us about her day!

Aimée (San Antonio NE, TX)

My son has dyslexia and was really struggling to read. He not only reads now but reads well and is devouring books! My son also struggles with memory issues among other things, and it’s been so fun to see his memory strengthened and his ability to tell us more things and share more details and even do more things on his own. His confidence absolutely soared after this experience!

Kellee (Woodbury, MN)

Amazed by their expertise and guidance, my kid is more focused at school and at home and better thought process along the way. Highly recommended.

Jae S. (Chandler, AZ)

My child has grown tremendously in her reading skills resulting in not only better academic performance but also decreased frustration. Most of all my child enjoys reading now when it used to be a fight to even try to get through basic sight words.

Gretchen (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

He is reading chapter books and is testing in 80th percentile for math and reading. He is no longer in any interventions support in school. He is now so confident in all areas and I know there is no way we as parents could have gotten him here alone. I would recommend any parent to embrace this program and allow it to help support your child!

DH (Franklin, TN)

Overall improvement of life and learning skills. Better memory, self-confidence and ability to follow thru and achieve success and routines.

Alicia (Fort Collins, CO)

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)

Our son LOVES going to LRX. He said learning has become easier. We are so glad for him and proud of how hard he works although LRX makes it so fun!

Melynda (Chattanooga, TN)

LearningRx was one of the best decisions we made this year! Our grandson was struggling in his high school senior year and this team turned him around :). Plus he enjoyed all of his sessions and his interactions with everyone there. His improvement in every area was incredible. Thank you!

ML (Shreveport, LA)

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)

The profound growth we saw in our son. Listening abilities and ability to verbalize thoughts and feelings are now happening, whereas before LearningRx it was a tantrum. His self-esteem and confidence have drastically improved.

Sarah (NWA South, AR)

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)

We are over a 1/4 of the way through the Read Rx program and I am so very pleased with the progress my daughter has made. Her trainers, Carolyn H. and Kim W. are excellent. Rejoice in her victories and help her with her struggles. Thank you for an excellent program!

Michelle (Cary, NC)

The staff and trainers are friendly and professional, showing genuine care for each child’s growth and development.

Denice (Savage, MN)

My son has benefitted greatly from being at Learning RX! I strongly encourage anyone on the fence to at least try it! We have been seen drastic improvements in confidence, reading, math, attention span, willingness, engagement, and more!

Brooke (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

The biggest change we saw in him was his ability to listen, focus and pay attention. He is now able to keep himself on task and focused on what he is doing while also listening to those around him. He has been able to listen and not need for it to be repeated, while also retaining what he heard to apply or question it later.

Ms Capps (Texarkana, TX)

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 just completed 12 weeks of training at LearningRx and could not be happier with the experience. Over the course of the program, I noticed steady and meaningful improvements: faster speed on exercises, greater confidence with mental math (especially addition and multiplication under time pressure), and better focus even with auditory distractions. I also became more consistent at sustaining attention, switching tasks quickly, and tolerating interruptions without losing momentum.

Danielle (Eagan, 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)

The staff here is AMAZING. They are professional, experts in their field, & care about their students. Our child has greatly disliked reading & struggles meeting school standards. After starting LearningRx she has begun reading a chapter book for her free time & has fallen in love with reading! This is a huge win for her! Her confidence is high and she finally sees herself as a scholar.

Maranda (Shreveport, LA)

This program looks at all aspects of brain work, really focusing on the root functioning, so the improvement will apply to all endeavors. Rich was extremely gifted at explaining the tests and program in a way we could understand.

Kirsten (Woodbury, MN)

I am a 56-year-old retired Executive who was diagnosed 2 years ago with aphasia and a rare dementia. I was determined to fight my diseases. I researched for someone to help me exercise my progressing dying communication part of my brain, not to make it better, but to slow down my regression. I have worked with the Director’s and the amazing trainer for a year now, following the LearningRx program and the Booster Program. After the year of pushing my brain, I now have other strategies now and the future, i.e. memory.

Amanda (Richmond Hill, ON)

I have been few places more encouraging, welcoming, or accepting than our local LearningRX. Far more important than growth in his cognitive abilities — and there was a lot of growth! — we valued the constant emphasis of success being tied to cheerful effort. That made it possible for our son to move beyond his emotions and debilitating perfectionism and allowed him to Keep Trying until he had mastered a difficult task. He also learned that he’s valued for WHO he is, not WHAT he can do.

Ellen (Chattanooga East, TN)

As we celebrate her graduation, we can positively share that those nights have been replaced with a love for reading and a strong sense of self-confidence. Julie will tell anyone and everyone that LearningRx is the reason she now knows how to read and what strategies she knows to help her with her dyslexia. We cannot express the thanks and gratitude we have for all the staff at LearningRx Shreveport for truly caring for Julie. The Director, Donesa is top-notch and an advocate for the clients and family. The trainers are outstanding.

Dex (Shreveport, LA)

We love the experience we have had there so far. My son who has severe dyslexia has made significant improvement in just 3 months!

Kristy (Chattanooga East, TN)

Reading comprehension has improved. Math skills have improved.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

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)

Our son struggled in school and started to disconnect because it became frustrating. After working with LearningRx everything changed, he talked about school in a positive way, grades came around. Now since 9th grade he has been on the honor roll every semester and is better organized. It’s all about understanding how your child learns and fixing the problems so they can reach their full potential.

Rudy (Colorado Springs, CO)

We are so grateful to have found LearningRx and the awesome team there. I have seen the confidence in both my daughters grow since working with their trainers. My girls are always excited to go, and always happy afterwards. I believe their ability to focus, stay on task and follow multi-step directions has increased. They are both on honor roll and doing well in school and at home!

Cara (Franklin, TN)

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)

Audrina has grown so much over the 6 months she had training! We are so grateful for everyone at LearningRx Fort Collins for helping our daughter achieve her goals for school. She is able to comprehend her new material, have a shining confidence, motivation to keep learning, better attitude. She is able to perform at a higher reading level then when she started.

Casey (Fort Collins, CO)

This program has been incredible for both our daughters. Both have completed the program, and both have excelled in school and college entrance exams as a result of the efficacy of the program and the incredible skill of our trainer Tara as part of the program. As a Clinical Psychologist, I have seen many programs throughout the years to improve grades, learning methods, etc. I have never seen a program that generates such clear and demonstrated results as in this program. Thank you for creating such a fantastic program for our children and all children who take this course of study!

C.F. (Alpharetta, GA)

She had taken and excelled in college-level science and math courses in 8th grade, but struggled to remember and apply a lot of the basic math she had learned. Despite our initial skepticism about whether LearningRx could make a big difference for such a good student, after just a few months at LearningRx, her ability to retain and use mathematical knowledge really took off. Her focus, clarity, speed, precision of understanding, and ability to solve problems quickly and accurately absolutely rocketed.

Dr. Tony & Christine Cox (Shreveport, LA)

Aselin was having a very tough time in school, specifically with math. We went from constant tears over homework that she did not understand, low grades and not wanting to go to school. To now enjoying going to school, completing homework on her own and getting great grades.

Carter (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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)

I had a consultation with LearningRX to assess my memory and logical thinking. The system that LearningRX uses to assess and strengthen your weaknesses is very innovative and I felt like it gave me great insights on how I can improve.

Sam (Houston, TX)

My daughter was struggling to read anything beyond basic CVC words at 8 years old. After diagnosing her specific issues, the folks at Learning Rx delivered their reading program to my daughter. In 8 months of lessons, my daughter demonstrated TWO YEARS of growth. I cannot recommend Michelle’s team highly enough. They have been professional, inspiring, and have worked hard to deliver what my child needed to excel. Her confidence is through the roof, and I will be eternally grateful.

J. B. (Chattanooga East, TN)

Everyone has worked so super great with our son and made sure he had everything he needed to work with. Our son has fine motor skills problems and before going to LearningRx you could not read his writing. After his trainer Ms. Diana worked with him on his writing skills and hand muscles; we could not believe how well his writing improved.

Rita (Dublin, OH)

After going through the program for three months, my child’s attitude toward school has changed dramatically. He used to be a student whom teachers paid little attention to. Last month, he was named Student of the Month. He is so proud of himself.

Parent (Cresskill, NJ)

My son has made tremendous progress in multiple areas! He’s more confident and was even mentioning today, weeks after LearningRx ended, that he wants to go back and say hi to everyone since he loved his trainers! Highly recommend this program.

Sapana (Sugar Land, TX)

Desmond has been known in school for his high intelligence and ability to catch on to concepts and even help his peers understand. Yet, even from a young age he was sometimes labeled as “defiant” or “lazy” because he would forget to put away a chair, or turn in his homework, or even remember to write down he had homework. LearningRx has been an answer to prayer. Desmond has had improvement in memory, articulation, processing, being able to hurry, being less overwhelmed. He gained confidence as his desires and his performance began to match up. Thank you!

Mike (Shreveport, LA)

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)

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)

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

Craig & Sarah (Indianapolis NE, IN)

LearningRx has really helped to improve her on all levels. We love working with Heather!

Loreal (Indianapolis NE, IN)

I suffered a traumatic brain injury and due to this I was struggling in school, at home, with daily tasks, and socially. After completing the program, I’m remembering information in school and passing with flying colors. I used to feel very foggy, confused and irritated throughout the day because it was so hard to focus or remember anything. I feel like this program gave me my life back after the TBI and I’m forever grateful.

Charity (Atlanta, GA)

My son had a TBI (due to an AVM) at the age of 19. We were told about LearningRx and that they were very successful with TBI patients. We attended for 8 months. It was not an easy journey for him, but with his trainer, Will, Dargan and the staff at LearningRX he might not have possibly accomplished what he has done in the past 10 years. Since then he has graduated with an Associate Degree, Bachelor Degree, assistant coach/head coach of his middle school since 2014. Happily married, two beautiful boys, and just passed his physical trainer test.

Marianne (Charlottesville, VA)

Great program! My son completed about 4 months of the program and made such a huge change! I wasn’t for sure until I saw the numbers go up! The program director Mrs Donesa was great and very accommodating! My son’s instructor was also great as well, they align the kids to who suits them best, which is great! I would highly recommend.

Brea (Shreveport, LA)

Gabrielle has shown consistent improvements in her schoolwork scores. She has told us that school seems easier. Above all, Gabby has learned skills that will help her be successful in whatever she chooses to do. She has learned how to focus more intentionally, listen more actively, plan in advance, priorities her tasks.

Amy (Chandler, AZ)

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