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

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

Kim (Chattanooga, TN)

LearningRx took my child’s needs seriously. They listened to what our concerns were, helped figure out a plan, and checked in throughout the process to make sure everything was in check. My child is even more confident. He has become much more expedient and efficient in his work. I have seen a huge improvement in his willingness to try and his ability to remember information is amazing!

Kallie (Woodbury, MN)

Kayson is more confident with his schoolwork and baseball. He is become a better communicator. And his scores on homework has consistently become better. Grateful for what LearningRx training has done for both of our children.

Eros (Tysons, VA)

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)

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)

The staff are incredible. Didi has improved in her basic reading and problem-solving skills as well as her ability to focus. We appreciate all the center has done to help our girl succeed.

Jamie (Franklin, TN)

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)

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

Alexa (Minnetonka, MN)

Both children continued to make huge gains in working memory, retention, auditory and visual processing, and more! Aside from the program itself, Michelle and the staff at LearningRx Chattanooga are incredible to work with. My children felt loved and supported through the program and the staff were always available to answer questions or provide tailored advice for our family. I can’t recommend LearningRx Chattanooga enough!

Jordan (Chattanooga, 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)

Returning to “learning” for my husband at 65 wasn’t easy, but the pace created for him and the variety in learning was so successful and engaging. The program really turned his life around for the better.

Cindy (Chandler, AZ)

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)

The director is very down to earth and reasonable. He cares about the students and is always ready to listen to the concerns of the parents. He is someone I can trust with my child. I recommend this program very highly for any child or young adult who may be struggling in any area.

Maryanne (Elk River, MN)

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

Andrew (Eagan, MN)

Wilson’s life has changed because of LearningRx. She is reading and has become quite independent and a self-starter. We are very impressed by her results! Very easy to work with and strong communication. An all-around wonderful experience!

Jamie (NWA South, AR)

Leah’s trainer was amazing. She was very patient with Leah. Even when Leah would get distracted or discouraged Ana would be able to talk to Leah and encourage her. Leah has come a long way and it all thanks to everyone at Learning RX. Leah’s confidence in herself and in what she has learned has increased significantly! She is now eager to learn new things and read. She has come so far and I am excited to see all she can achieve now.

Danielle (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

Our son is 8 years old and has struggled since 3 years old to focus. Starting to learn to read and figuring out letters has been very difficult…Mel is motivating to him and continues to push him to his potential. In the first month the change we saw in our son’s focus was jaw dropping!..Within 3 months of beginning the program our son has started to read full homework page assignments and complete them on his own! Mel and this program has completely changed our lives to which we will be eternally grateful.

Nicholaus (Cary, NC)

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)

The amazing one-on-one training was so helpful in transforming my brain. I feel like my trainer Indira really cared about my development and was with me every step of the way. Increased confidence, better memory, faster thought, improved speaking and spelling skills.

Alyse (Atlanta-Buckhead, 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)

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)

At home he is now willing to do his homework, where before he would have a tantrum every time. His school grades have made a noticeable improvement. At school his teacher has also noticed large improvements in his classroom behavior. His reading and spelling grades have improved.

Paul (Chandler, AZ)

I’m starting training myself (with my 12-year-old son and father) to see if the virtual version holds up—a trial is available. If you want real-world listening and thinking skills built with grit, nuance, and scientific grounding, this program is worth your time and money. It’s a game-changer.

Rae (Chattanooga, TN)

Homework was a nightly battle—three hours of stress, tears, and very little progress. Then we found LearningRx. We went in for the evaluation, and for the first time, we saw a new approach—one that focused on how the brain learns, not just what to learn. That summer, Rosa started the program. At first, it wasn’t easy getting her there, but the team made it fun and engaging. Pretty soon, she was the one reminding me it was time to go. She finished the program, got her picture on the wall, and something just clicked.

Brian (Eagan, MN)

Dargan and his colleagues, Ashley and Gray, are AMAZING brain trainers. They are so patient, kind and caring and those are the necessary ingredients to challenge an older brain like mine (55 years) to grow and improve. If you or your children are looking for a solid scientific approach to dial in your brain function, you have found the right place!

Brian (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

Donesa and her team are phenomenal. The improvement we have seen in both of our children is amazing. Well worth the time and money.

SM (Shreveport, LA)

The positive changes we have seen in our daughter showed us how valuable and effective the program is! Our daughter has improved in memory and working speed, and her reading skills have improved to a level that her teachers are bringing it up to us. Her self-confidence is willingness to learn new tasks has also improved greatly.

Brittany (River Valley, AR)

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)

LearningRx has been instrumental in Caiden’s progress this school year. Thanks to you, your encouragement, support, effective learning strategies and positive approach Caiden has gained so much confidence. We are excited about this growth both academically and emotionally and where this will take him. Thank you so much for seeing his potential.

David (Richmond Hill, ON)

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)

Our son has made many academic gains over the year and a half attending LearningRx. Our son has gained confidence and has a better outlook on school. His grades have improved and his teacher has seen growth in all academic areas.

Shelly (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

My child is more confident in his ability to succeed. He is more willing to try new things. He has a better sense of self control, and he has made significant improvements on every report card. He has learned that working hard is more important than perfection!

Durelle (Chattanooga, TN)

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)

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)

My son has been in the LearningRx program for two months. He is enjoying the work and sessions with the trainer. He is already noticing improvement with his memory, mental processing speed and self-confidence.

Jackie (Charlottesville, VA)

We used LearningRx for my middle daughter (6yo) and over the course of the program we saw drastic changes in her behavioral, processing speed and abilities, and overall self-confidence. When we did her evaluation and they were explaining the results, so much made sense. She was already very smart but was lacking in her ability to receive information. Once we started LearningRx all of that changed and the results showed both academically and socially.

Alexa (San Antonio NE, TX)

Helpful people. my son’s skills improved and the testing showed it. Kasey was outstanding the team is patient and encouraging. My son sometimes didn’t want to come, but he always left in good spirits. Kasey always hit the mark with enough encouragement and challenge to keep going!

Ashley (Pensacola, FL)

My memory is stronger, and I feel I can make quick and accurate decisions at work, which is very important to me.

Diosdado (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

Improvements in maturity, better grades, a positive outlook on life.

Julia (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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)

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)

We really appreciate the tools and techniques LearningRx provided for Montel to continue to identify, analyze, process information presented before him. The hesitation and unsureness are replaced with confidence and self-assurance in his abilities working a problem.

Glen (San Antonio, NE, TX)

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)

I highly recommend the Atlanta Buckhead location of LearningRX! My child went through the cognitive training LearningRX program this year. LearningRX gives a pre- and post-test in a number of different areas and, relative to the pre-test, my child’s post-test showed tremendous, quantified improvement in almost every category that was part of the program! My child’s tutor, Christen, was amazing – smart, assertive with giving the right amount of push, adaptive, highly communicative, encouraging and dedicated!

DR (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

Learning RX has made a big difference in my child’s confidence and ability to persevere when attempting hard tasks and difficult school assignments. They did not just help with her reading abilities but also her attention span, focus, and processing speed. The staff truly care about each of their students and families.

Dana (Charlottesville, VA)

I would highly recommend LearningRx Chattanooga. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The results that we received from brain training were outstanding. Wish we had done it sooner!

Crystal (Chattanooga, TN)

From day 1 to the last day training, Trenton’s ability to comprehend and retain any material that’s presented to him has greatly improved and has translated into better grades on his report card. Not only has his comprehension and retention improved, but his confidence has also improved because of LearningRx. It has been great experience with LearningRx, and we would recommend this program to any parent whose child needs that extra helping hand.

Alanna (Stonewall, LA)

LearningRx doesn’t just focus on academics and learning but also gives you the confidence to live your best life! Before LearningRx my son was afraid to try almost anything new. He was paralyzed by his fear. He has improved confidence to not just tackle academics but also to live his best life!

Stephanie (Colorado Springs, CO)

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