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!

Both of my boys when through brain training. Our goal was to fill in any educational gaps and improve their ACT scores. Both boys ended up in the 30s for their ACT. We love LearningRx Texarkana and would recommend this program to others!

Ms Miller (Texarkana, TX)

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)

My child went from being nonverbal to being a little girl who is communicating AND reading! Naomi was a little girl who would cry instead of telling me what was wrong. She had been learning her alphabet but could not recognize a single letter in the alphabet. After training, Naomi now has conversations with others, and she is excelling in school. We love LearningRx!

Mandy (Huntsville, TX)

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

Kenneth (San Antonio NE, TX)

You connected with Carsyn on different level, she learned so much with you and we will be recommending our friends to come here to you!

Clayton (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

We are 4 months into my 10yr old daughter’s brain training. I could not be more grateful for this program. Her trainer Francesca is AMAZING she really took her time getting to know my daughter so she can train and encourage her well. I have been so impressed with everyone’s knowledge and communication…My daughter is already feeling more confident in school during both reading and math. I am so glad we found LearningRx!

Daniela (Charlottesville, VA)

My daughter’s confidence level in math skills and reading has increased since training at Learning Rx and has in turn boosted her self-esteem significantly as well. The entire Learning Rx team is friendly, supportive, and equipped with the skills training to help realize significant improvements for you and your family too.

Katherine (Reston, VA)

I just wanted to say how thankful that I am to have been recommended LearningRx. Through their expertise, my attention to detail, processing speed, and overall academic confidence have all improved considerably. I recommend these services to both children and adults.

Jacolby McCray (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

I was on the verge of dropping out of college till my mom enrolled me in Learning RX, and thank the Lord she did. I have a learning disability so I have always struggled in school but as I got older and older school got harder and harder. Chel has helped me and my brain. She is very patient, understanding, and flexible when scheduling my sessions. I’ve noticed an improvement in my brain function which has helped me in school.

Marisa (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

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)

I like the importance placed upon reading. I have witnessed my son reading faster and comprehending much more of the information.

Tanicka (Coon Rapids, MN)

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)

Reading lessons are done so much more quickly now. She has a much better attitude doing them because she doesn’t struggle as much. She also picks up her own books and tries to read them on her own.

Becky (Chandler, AZ)

We’ve been bringing our daughter to the LearningRx for a few years now. We love the staff and have seen amazing results with our daughter. Besides reading improvements and mental math accomplishments, our daughter’s confidence has greatly increased!

Laura (Dublin, OH)

I highly recommend LearningRx for their personalized and effective cognitive training, which significantly improved my son’s confidence and cognitive abilities.

Mariestella (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

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

Eman (Irvine, CA)

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 completed this program and we have seen incredible improvements in confidence and even end of year state testing results! We are glad we made the investment in this program.

Crystal (Lacy, WA)

My daughter made an incredible amount of growth in her skills while at LearningRx, but even more than that, her confidence is soaring. When we used to go to the library, Piper would come home empty handed. Yesterday she brought home a book with over 300 pages–her confidence is that high. I’m grateful for the gentle encouragement and tough, supportive love from her trainer, Mary, through the last half year.

Jeni (Chattanooga East, TN)

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

Mary (Eden Prairie, MN)

Truly life changing opportunity to invest in your kids!

Meghan (Appleton, WI)

LearningRx gave our son a great boost in confidence! The staff is extremely dedicated & caring about the success if their students!

M Miller (Colorado Springs, CO)

Daniel had difficulty learning material and was not getting the support he needed in the school system. After he trained his attention, memory, comprehension and more got better. He still is not at grade level but his ability to learn is improved. The center, director and trainer were always supportive of our needs. They worked very hard to help Daniel and showed a lot of patience.

Dihn (Reston, VA)

We stumbled upon LearningRx, thinking it was worth a shot— after graduating under a year later, we can confidently say it helped our child make better connections and improved her working memory. The staff and director are like family to us; they nurtured and encouraged our daughter more than just academically; they absolutely instilled confidence and kept her motivated throughout her training. Highly, highly recommend for kids and adults with memory problems, ADHD, problems with executive function and disorganization, or just needing a boost in productivity and efficiency.

KD (Franklin, TN)

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)

My son participated in a shortened version of training (out of the kindness of Gina’s heart) and my son tested with phenomenal results of improvements in every area. Absolutely amazing!

Sarah (San Antonio, NE, TX)

My family and I are so pleased with the amazing training they have provided for our child. His reading skills have improved in speed and fluency. This training has enriched the life our son in all areas. He has a wonderful teacher, and looks forward to his training with her!

Robert (Chattanooga East, TN)

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)

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)

The staff was the best. They were always helpful, caring and engaging. We have seen sustained focus during homework and better memory to assist with multi step math problems.

James (Reston, VA)

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)

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)

We reached out to LearningRX when our son was about to enter the fifth grade. There had been many struggles through traditional public school with reading and keeping up with math facts and focus in general…when we went to LearningRX they helped us understand that it was a processing skill that was needing to be relearned. We have been with LearningRX for several months now and have seen a lot of change in our son with confidence to face new things.

Lindsey (Charlottesville, VA)

We have noticed that homework is being done faster and even being started on his own. He has less negative talk and less time lost through behavioral issues at school as a result of not understanding the material. He has confidence for the first time in his life and truly believes he can do things that are hard and trusts himself.

Amanda (Dayton, MN)

Learning Rx has provided tangible solutions for our child, support for us as parents, and boosted not only her academic ability but her confidence. We are grateful for our journey and for the amazing staff at Learning Rx.

Maranda & Sas (Shreveport, LA)

I was very pleased with the service I received from LearningRX. My child was substantially delayed when we entered the program. After 150+ lessons my daughter was able to correct her deficiencies and more importantly the skills she learned will help her in the future. In addition, I must mention professionalism of the entire team through frequent check-in meetings/follow-ups about the progress child is making as well as inquiring about anything additional they can do.

Drazenka K. (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

Life-changing for my son and my family. He can verbalize his thoughts and understand what we are saying. Logan understands concepts at school and works hard to complete tasks.

Lindsey (Appleton, WI)

My brain is doing so much better (after 3 major strokes) doing this program online 3 sessions/week. It’s challenging, but my trainer is terrific.

Jannee (Highlands Ranch, CO)

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)

When Katrina first came to LearningRx, we had a frustrated, almost angry daughter who was having a difficult time at school and receiving poor grades. To our delight, Katrina has made a transformation back into her true self in many ways. She’s happy again, speaking positively about her work, her performance, school, and herself in general. For the first time she wants to share what happened at school. She has shown such an attitude switch in many areas, we are thrilled.

Jane (Shreveport, LA)

Kenlee was really struggling as a student going into the 2nd grade. She had only been homeschooled. No matter what skills I tried, she was only reading on a kindergarten level and now within 6 months she is on grade level. Her confidence has grown, she is more focused during task, and her behavior is better.

Kandi (Texarkana, TX)

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)

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

Cindy (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

Our daughter was really struggling and we were concerned that she may not move to the next grade in school. Not only has LearningRx given her the mental exercises to improve, but it has given her the tools that she can utilize in learning at home and at school that will allow her to be successful in her future. She has moved from a place of defeat and sometimes despair to one of being hopeful and having plans for her future. She has learned that she can do hard things.

Justin (Raleigh, NC)

Irene’s support and leadership has been crucial in the progress and success of clients. She has been very responsive of and receptive to parents’ feedback and suggestions and strives to include them in the planning of goals and objectives for purpose of trainings!

Hibroly (Reston, VA)

The staff took time to ensure Terri reached her potential and adjusted as needed.

Sherri (Huntsville, TX)

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

Alexa (Minnetonka, MN)

Very helpful for children with learning differences. My son has gained confidence with his math skills and is actually proud of his work he brings home from school. He has not only gained academic confidence but also has gained a lot of confidence in his social life as well. He is not as reserved and shy and continues to be more happy all around. He has blossomed and is now finding the positives in all aspects of schooling and is happy to go now!

Stephanie (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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)

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