Brain trainer and student working together on a cognitive training task

Training for Kids & Teens with Learning Disabilities

At LearningRx, we know that learning difficulties are closely tied to cognitive skills. Through brain training, we have helped students of all ages strengthen these skills and address the root cause of learning struggles. In addition to brain training for clients with ADHD, dyslexia, speech delays, and autism, we offer individualized programs for clients with other learning challenges.

LearningRx offers both in-person and online programs, making brain training easily accessible to learners.

My daughter had a known learning disability and had been on an IEP for years with the school. She simply did not understand the work and also could not remember the lessons. This made everything click for her.”

Our Approach is Backed by Science

By creating a program that’s tailored to your child’s needs and goals (or your own!), we can focus on the underlying cause of learning struggles. Our one-on-one programs are a great way to work on cognitive skills and become a more confident learner!

Between 2010 and 2022, more than 2,804 kids and teens with learning disabilities completed a brain training program at LearningRx. On average, these students improved their learning skills by 3.5 years with LearningRx! This includes a gain of 4.8 years in auditory processing.

Personalized Training for Children with Learning Disabilities

LearningRx creates individualized programs for kids and adults with learning disorders and other learning differences.

We start by performing an assessment, which measures the performance of core learning skills. This gives you a detailed picture of learning skills for you or your child, and it can identify which skills are the root cause of learning difficulties.

By identifying which skills have the most room for improvement, we can target these skills in a personalized learning plan!

Brain Training or Tutoring for Learning Disabilities?

There’s an important distinction between brain training and tutoring.

Tutoring tends to focus on delivering information and accommodating each student. In many cases, tutors will find workarounds or accommodations for learning difficulties. This puts students in a position where they can only succeed with accommodations.

Brain training is focused on the root cause of learning difficulties. Our goal is to strengthen underlying learning and thinking skills. When students develop these skills, they can become more confident, more independent, and more successful learners!

Before you get started with brain training, we want to learn more about the challenges experienced by you or your child.

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 completed the program and had a significant improvement and her confidence when through the roof.

Minneh (Reston, VA)

The personalized attention and encouraging environment have boosted both his confidence and his academic performance. We’ve seen a significant change in him. Seeing our son progress during his senior year has been incredibly rewarding. After years of struggling, he’s finally experiencing success in his learning journey. For parents of students who have consistently faced academic challenges, we highly recommend giving LearningRx a chance.

Nicole (Savage, 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)

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)

Development of confidence in learning and perseverance. During the process there was always the concern of preserving confidence and self-esteem while learning and meeting new challenges. The staff were always patient, helpful, and kind.

Jessika (Raleigh, NC)

LearningRx has been so beneficial to our 7-yr old who was struggling with reading. Seeing his progress over the months and through the pre- and post-program assessments has been incredible. Maureen and her team are so kind and supportive and figure out what each kid needs individually to grow their confidence and brain skills! Thank you, LearningRx!

Amy (Tysons, VA)

We have seen a tremendous improvement through LearningRx, including increased memory, processing and comprehension. The directors and instructor have been amazing to work with, and it’s been a great experience! Would highly recommend!

Joe (Richmond Hill, ON)

Our son has improved his reading, writing and math over the course of the last 6 months with brain training. Before we started working with LearningRx our son was very resistant to working on improving in these areas because he lacked the confidence in his skills. We now see him sharing his accomplishments with others, and more willing to work independently and receive help when needed. We could not be happier with the results of brain training.

Amanda (Pensacola, FL)

We are so thankful for LearningRx. It has been amazing watching him grow in confidence and independence with reading. He has been keeping up better in school and has much more confidence. The trainers are amazing and dedicated. My child says he will miss the people. He also says reading is fun now. We would do it all over again!

Jillian (Monticello, MN)

This is an evidence-based training that was conducted with the utmost organization and professionalism and resulted in appreciable improvements in my child’s school performance but more importantly, on his well-being. This was money well invested. I had contact with four different staff members, all very knowledgeable and professional. My child’s trainer was fantastic. Her commitment to my child’s improvement was evident.

Shadia C. (Charlottesville, VA)

Dargan and Michelle were amazing to work with at LearningRx Charlottesville, walking along side us each step of the way and doing everything they could to make our experience a successful one. Their expertise and compassion was just what my son needed to help get him to the next level of his cognitive development. We’ve tried a lot of other modalities in the past, and I’d highly recommend giving LearningRx a chance!

Erin (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

His growth has extended beyond academics. His youth director even commented on his improved focus and ability to take detailed notes during lessons. He now contributes thoughtfully in group discussions and isn’t afraid to raise his hand and share insights.

Jessica (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

The program trainers worked hard to challenge Deacon in such a way to have optimal growth in reading and comprehension. The center and brain training activities were engaging and kept Deacon in a place of wanting to continue with things that are very hard for him. He was cared for and he could tell he was liked and being championed each time he had a session. Deacon now has more confidence in reading.

Chuck (NWA South, AR)

The trainers were excellent and helped Lucas improve so much in processing speed and logic. LearningRx has helped our son so much in improving his processing speed, focus and memory.

Jainy (Sugar Land, TX)

I turned 68 and finished my training at RX Learning in Charlottesville a few weeks ago. Michelle, my trainer, made my experience enjoyable, beneficial and relevant. Some of the many benefits of the program for me include: improved ability to maintain focus for longer periods of time; improved ability to ignore distractions; improved long and short term memory; acquisition of problem solving skills that I use on a regular basis; and most importantly – knowing that I can tackle everyday life issues with confidence and flexibility.

Susan (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

LearningRx was a wonderful program for my son!! The tutors are very caring, I felt they were just as excited as my husband, and I were with the progression of our son. The program has instilled skills and learning techniques that will help him throughout his education. Thanks LearningRx, and I recommend the program to any and all parents seeking help with their students!!

Yolanda (Shreveport, LA)

Leanne has been so accommodating and caring towards our family. Ashley is an excellent instructor and made such a strong effort to build a relationship with my daughter. With both professionals caring for my daughter, she has made tremendous growth.

Jennifer (Irvine, CA)

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

Sherri (Huntsville, TX)

LearningRx has a positive and fun environment that makes learning fun for my 8-year-old who needs help with reading. All the staff are friendly and care about each individual child. In just a few short months I have seen a more positive attitude and more self confidence in my son.

Nicole (San Antonio NE, TX)

I am astounded at the results and can’t say enough positive things about LearningRx. This Colorado Springs center makes me and my children feel welcomed each and every time, has excellent and knowledgeable staff, and is well worth every penny! I highly recommend this brain training center to anyone age 5-95 who is looking for real results!

Nelli (Colorado Springs, CO)

Our son’s reading ability and comprehension has increased significantly after completing this program. I don’t know of anything else out there like it. It is a very different approach from traditional tutoring and very effective. I highly recommend them.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

Since starting the program, we have noticed that my son seems more confident in certain areas – in school his self-esteem, his ability to do tasks, and his attention at times seems to be more sustained, and his grades improved.

Amy (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)

We have been LearningRx clients for over a year and I have been blown away at the progress our student has achieved in this short time! Donesa and her team are absolute academic angels!

Mario (Shreveport, LA)

Our Son really enjoyed his time at LearningRx! Completing this program has given our son confidence and skills for his future and as his parents given us some relief in knowing he is headed in the right direction.

Nikki (River Valley, AR)

After just a few weeks of training, my daughter has begun to change her attitude. She used to refuse to do things she did not like. Now, she tries her best to do things she does not enjoy and continues to pursue the things she loves. I am really happy to see this progress.

Parent (Cresskill, NJ)

I decided to come to LearningRx because of my dyslexia and memory problems and how they were affecting my school work. As I worked through the LearningRx program I noticed significant gains in my memory and how fast I work through things. I noticed that I can read a lot faster and that I remember to turn in my homework or information for tests. LearningRx helped me improve my school work and I feel a lot more confident with everything I do. LearningRx has made all the difference in the world.

Kelsea (Shreveport, LA)

Improvements in ability and willingness to work by himself. More fluid reading. More confidence in schoolwork.

Melissa (Glendale, AZ)

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)

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)

The instructing was amazing! I am able to remember number sequences better. I feel more confident about making decisions and communicating to people.

Hannah (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

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)

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

Craig & Sarah (Indianapolis NE, IN)

We are so happy with our daughters’ results, truly life changing for her!

Ayla (Huntsville, TX)

As Jack’s mom, (and an educator) I’ve seen significant growth since he began LearningRx. While he’s always been highly intelligent, he had ongoing struggles with auditory processing, reading fluency, spelling, and speech clarity. After completing the program, Jack’s gains have been remarkable—his enunciation has improved, his confidence in reading out loud has grown, and his spelling, though still a challenge, has noticeably improved even in casual settings like writing on a whiteboard.

Winona (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

This is a wonderful program with excellent trainers who are knowledgeable and supportive in helping each child reach his/her goals. Our daughter has improved in all areas of comprehension, retention and overall self-confidence as a result of completing this program.

Ayana (Chattanooga East, TN)

Learning RX has been such an amazing experience for my 7 year old son who most likely has dyslexia. We are so happy with the results and are amazed at how reading is now so much easier for him than it was before. He can now effortlessly blend 3 letter words together whereas before he started training there he could hardly blend 2 letter words and hated reading. Now it’s coming much easier and his confidence is high and reading is much more enjoyable!

Christa H. (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

LearningRx has been such a game changer for our 9-year-old. We are so thankful for them!

Chris (Chattanooga, TN)

My son’s program changed his life and we would highly recommend.

Nada (Irvine, CA)

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)

We have been extremely happy with LearningRx. After just three months of brain training we see great improvements in his willingness and ability to read, follow oral instructions, and not be as resistant to doing hard things. The best part is when he tells me that HE feels a difference in his own brain. This is a win in my book! It’s a huge commitment to do home training, but, the support from LearningRx is always there. I honestly can’t say enough good things about the employees, trainer, front desk and manager.

Alexis (Chattanooga East, TN)

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 trainer worked really hard to improve his reading and processing skills. Although his behavior was challenging at times, his trainer persevered. We are grateful for all of the one-on-one attention.

Alison (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

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