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

My daughter and son in-law needed to find a way to get their daughter some help with reading. They spoke with a few friends that had children that attended LearningRx with great success. After the evaluation she started and immediately embraced the learning process. I feel very fortunate to be able to bring her to the classes when I can. I am very impressed with her progress in such a short time. Her goal is to be able to read a chapter book like her siblings mine is just to see her read without out her being embarrassed.

Corky (Shoreview, MN)

Great experience, friendly and competent staff. Afforded a new method of learning and assisted our child with developing tactics to improve memory and comprehension.

Justin & Courtney (Anoka, MN)

The results with my son have exceeded all expectations!!! Kevin and Jill are the most dedicated, caring and encouraging team my son has ever worked with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Holly (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

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)

The transition from High School to College was rough (with COVID complications). My daughter’s confidence was shot and her focus was distracted as best given the unusual stressful events. Learning Rx was a God send. With my daughter’s commitment and the guidance of a highly inspirational instructor, my daughter improved her memory and ability to tune out distractions. She learned how to establish a plan for study patterns and follow through on that plan. Her confidence level is remarkably better and is supported by her improved performance at college.

Lara (Charlottesville, VA)

Jacob began a journey of improving the areas that were holding him back from improving all areas of learning. He was working 10 times harder than all the other kids in school but not seeing much return. Now, I see him working hard, able to stay focused, and see the right response from the work he puts in… which has increased his ability to want to learn.

Amanda (Pensacola, FL)

Learning RX was a great way to bring some excitement out in our daughter when it comes to learning! She really improved in so much and has sooo much more confidence in herself, her ability to problem solve and her overall attitude about math and school work. She had the most incredible trainer Caitlin…Imani is so easy to communicate with, listens and engages with the students and parents so well. Marilyn was always very welcoming and we appreciated her a ton!

Annie (Colorado Springs, CO)

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)

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)

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)

Learning Rx has been a wonderful program for our son! He thoroughly enjoyed working with his trainer as well as with other staff members. Since completing the program, our son has greatly improved in the areas of focusing on tasks, regulating his emotions, and thinking things through. I highly recommend Learning Rx to anyone!

Ken (Charlottesville, VA)

Our daughter had a great experience with Learning RX. We saw great growth for her. She is more outgoing, more willing to talk and interact with family and friends, more interactive, not as short tempered and less irritable. She is more confident in so many ways and it’s been so great to watch her grow because of this program.

TA (Eagan, MN)

Everyone went above and beyond to meet Collin’s unique needs or to help us find someone who could. Greatly appreciated! Improvements in English grades, increased confidence, and improved in other areas like band. Understands information more quickly.

Krista (San Antonio NE, TX)

My son showed significant improvement in school related learning and testing.

Amber (Alpharetta, GA)

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)

Since starting LearningRx, my children have gained confidence within themselves as well as their schoolwork. Their grades have improved, and schoolwork (homework) is not dreadful task like before. My children have also become more responsible. Not only at school, but at home as well,

Ms Ward (Texarkana, TX)

He does seem to get his work done quicker and more independently – depending on the subject. He is also writing more notes in class. He is not complaining anymore about reading although he still struggles with answering questions about what he read. His frustration level has improved some as well as persevering.

Melanie (Glendale, AZ)

Our child was recently able to join a normal level class for reading and writing. His reading, writing, and comprehension grew exponentially during his time in the program.

Leah (Appleton, WI)

Our son and us were fortunate to have found LearningRx to help him with so many important aspects of his everyday life. He eagerly attended 107 brain training sessions that he gave his best effort, energy and determination to get the most out of every minute he was there. Our son has seen so many improvements, I can’t list them all here, but I’ll highlight a few of the most important ones – many around improvements to his safety. His ability to focus, concentrate and speed processing could not be more different than when he started.

John (Woodbury, MN)

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)

Working in Education for 18 years, I knew my 9 year old daughter needed something more than a reading tutor. Learning Rx provided an opportunity for her to retrain her brain versus getting academic support. This intensive cognitive reset is worth every minute and is simply invaluable. Her confidence and self esteem in the classroom has improved significantly and her focus and attention while reading is dramatic. The team in Woodbury was responsive, effective, and ensured that my daughter felt loved, inspired, and successful.

Megan (Woodbury, MN)

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)

We saw measurable results that would benefit others. He connected with Xander and did a great job of motivating and guiding him through the program. Even when Xander had tough times and struggled, he worked with him to keep going.

Tessa (NWA South, AR)

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)

Maureen was very caring about my son needs and struggles and helped us gain a better insight and a better picture on how to keep helping him grow and develop. His recommendations were custom- tailored to my son’s challenges and needs. Thank you!

Shamira (Tysons, VA)

Last year, Kayla had a tough time concentrating, being organized, and completing tasks set for her. She was struggling in school and had low self-esteem. We knew she needed more help than we could give her. We received the flyer for LearningRx in the mail, attended the seminar, and have never looked back. LearningRx addressed all of Kayla’s needs and after the program was over we have our smart and self-confident daughter back again!

Brett (Shreveport, LA)

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)

LearningRx provided great care and confidence for my son who had specific areas of weakness in processing speeds and over all higher thinking. Sandy was incredibly helpful, patient, insightful and flexible while we worked through my son’s program.

Natalie (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

Bonnie literally went from barely reading, total meltdown when she was asked to read to now reading above grade level and picking up books for fun even. Training has also improved her attention and focus more than we thought possible. We have even been able to taper off her ADHD meds. Total transformation!

Skip (Chattanooga, TN)

So many positive improvements with my daughter through this program. She has improved with her self-confidence and belief in her own abilities. As a parent, her ability to attack hard things head-on without much frustration is an amazing accomplishment and makes me so proud.

Nick (Fort Collins, CO)

Thank you for giving Mila the opportunity to strengthen her skills through your learning program. This experience has been a great start to developing her reading skills.

Katelyn (Richmond Hill, ON)

My son went to Learning RX for about two years. The staff was amazing, can’t say enough good things about them! My son learned many skills, gained confidence going into the next school year and just in general processing improvements. He was always happy to go as they made the activities enjoyable and engaging. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for this kind of training!

Dania (Sugarland, TX)

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)

Wow, thank you Learning RX! We have been amazed at the fantastic results of your Brain Training program for our 13 year old daughter. Her grades & confidence in learning & herself have grown remarkably in just a short amount of time working with Learning RX. This is an excellent program and we highly recommend it!

Jim (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

Our 10-year-old daughter continued having learning problems. After 2 months of LearningRx, she has more confidence in her learning ability, and she is already getting better grades in English! We can’t wait to see all the great things she will accomplish with this program!

Bridget (Minneapolis, MN)

We have been thrilled with the progress our son has made! The center has a positive and inviting atmosphere, and he and his trainer have made incredible improvements!

Shannon (Chattanooga East, TN)

Confidence. Focus. Memory. Test scores. Organization! All improved!

Tracey & Josh (Indianapolis NE, IN)

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)

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)

Ashley was absolutely wonderful for my son Jack. She was so patient with him and seemed to know exactly how to encourage him in the moment. I saw my son go from someone who spiraled in his thoughts to be able to think clearly and analyze them in a gentle way. He’s more confident in himself and how he expresses his emotions conversationally and internally. Very happy with the outcome.

Cheryl (Charlottesville, VA)

Our daughter Addy is spelling better, can stay focused longer, and is much more confident in school.

Courtney (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

Michael’s confidence has increased and that is priceless. He is more content because he knows he can handle whatever is thrown his way. Michael’s self-esteem and confidence has grown, and this was so important to me. His attitude has changed from giving up before he has even started to sitting down and tackling the task!

Ryan (Tysons, VA)

My daughter is excelling for the first time in her life. My daughter was not able to complete tasks, read, or spell. The people here at LearningRx have helped me to help her to be successful!

Tiffany (Huntsville, TX)

Her visual processing and auditory processing had improved beyond her years resulting in her working memory, visual memory, logic-reasoning, processing speed, and attentiveness improving; which allowed school to become enjoyable and no longer so challenging. Her organization skills have improved as well as her grades. If your child is struggling, please give it a try. It may be life-changing for your child and your family.

Renee (River Valley, AR)

His schoolwork and grades are improved. His communication at home is also better.

Ms Rudd (Texarkana, TX)

We had a wonderful experience at LearningRx! Our 16-year-old son had recently received an ADHD diagnosis and LearningRx was recommended to us. He had issues with processing speed and executive functioning. The individual attention and guidance given to him was invaluable at helping him develop into his “true” self! Thank you for everything, LearningRx!

Tracey (Chattanooga, TN)

We can see improvement in his social skills and improvement in school performance. Created a caring atmosphere for our son.

Tina (Sugar Land, TX)

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

Craig & Sarah (Indianapolis NE, IN)

Our daughter is much more confident in her reading and is willing to attack words. She genuinely enjoys reading now.

Deanna (Brooklyn Park, MN)

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