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

This place is the BEST! Both my sons went here starting in Kinder and the only thing I regret is NOT doing it sooner! They have boosted their confidence and got them reading in no time! How do I forget about there math skills too – great place!

Jacoba C. (Chandler, AZ)

Now I can finally read and sound out words! I can now read because of Mrs. Donesa and the LearningRx program! Before LearningRx, I thought I was just dumb! Some kids made fun of me because I could not read our sound out words. I did not like myself very much. Now I do! I can now participate in classes at school and church and not be embarrassed or afraid to read out loud or give answers like the other students. I am finally making decent grades! Now my mom cries when I read to her because I can read!

Tanner (Shongaloo, LA)

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

Courtney (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

Charlie has improved more than we ever thought he could. Jessa was an amazing trainer with Charlie. She was great with communicating, helping Charlie and overall improvement

Bethany (Indianapolis NE, IN)

Our 10-year-old son’s life is on a GREAT trajectory thanks to his brain being “re-wired” by the LearningRx program! I am a family nurse practitioner, and I can say their system is unlike any other. In the past, my son would be crying nearly every day after school due to the frustration of being behind and overwhelmed. Now, a year later, he’s a confident young man who enjoys school, loves to learn— and even enjoys taking tests!

Ellie (Colorado Springs, CO)

This experience has been beyond my expectations. The relationship my son had with his brain trainer and how she gave space for him to be himself was the best part for me. I loved the lived experience of watching him become a stronger version of himself!

Jennifer (Chattanooga East, TN)

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)

Our son really enjoyed his trainer. His confidence is so much better. We saw big changes in logic and reasoning and comprehension.

Ena (Alpharetta, GA)

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

Deanna (Brooklyn Park, MN)

We had Carolyn for my child’s trainer. Can’t say enough good things about this lady. Always encouraging and supportive. Never made training seem like a chore. Kept my child engaged and eager to keep coming back for more! Highly recommend LearningRx and Ms. Carolyn!

Dee (Cary, NC)

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)

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

Andrew (Eagan, MN)

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)

We have seen incredible improvements in both our kids with focus and attentiveness

Shannon (Chanhassen, MN)

My daughter had an exceptional experience with LearningRx. Both my daughter’s teachers and we, her parents, observed a remarkable enhancement in her processing speed and memory. The struggle she previously encountered with retaining information swiftly has now become a thing of the past, a stark contrast from what we witnessed during her first-grade year.

Shayda (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

This program has been very beneficial for my daughter and the main reason for that is her trainer Mo. Mo has been able to connect with and be encouraging and supportive in a way that has been amazing. The focus of this program is on building strengths and facilitating progress – Mo really has been making a difference and we really appreciate her and this program!

Elise (Cary, NC)

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)

My child enjoyed the sessions with Emily very much. There were times when he was very tired after school, but he insisted on attending the training. He could feel the benefit of the brain training – paying attention to class and staying focused on homework, so he was motivated to go even when he was tired. Not only has his speed improved, but also the accuracy of the work itself. Thanks Emily and LearningRx!

IL (Richmond Hill, ON)

LearningRx helped our daughter gain confidence and this propelled her to achieve so much more. The relationship she built with her trainer was an integral part of her progress. Our daughter was happy to come for training. Improvements in processing speed, memory, confidence, focus, persistence, and number skills. Darya has also shown improvements in her social skills.

Behnaz (Richmond Hill, ON)

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)

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)

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)

Seeing his growth this year in homeschool of what he can read and is willing to try (not overwhelmed by the amount of words on the page) has been wonderful. Incredible growth.

Melissa (Reston, 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)

The vast improvements we saw in our student showed the effectiveness of the training with LearningRx. Jared’s time management, confidence, and how he prioritizes responsibilities are like night and day. His family, his teachers and he himself feel he made huge strides and showed great improvements.

Heather (Fort Collins, CO)

All learning areas improved with the program. They took a smart kid and helped her become a confident and successful student. She’s more efficient and prepared to begin each task.

Honor (Chattanooga East, TN)

Katie, Molly, & Matt helped Kennedy find a safe space to find confidence & growth not only academically but also in every way.

Allan (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

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)

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)

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)

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

Chris (Chattanooga, TN)

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

Melissa (Glendale, AZ)

My daughter has struggled with school since kindergarten. She ended up having ADHD and Dyslexia. I was and still am in awe, in 9 months my daughter has grown tremendously. She is now a graduate of this training program and can confidently say the skills she gained has helped and will help her for the rest of her life.

Carolina (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

LearningRx was a game changer for my son. He improved in so many areas of his life.

Kevin (Chattanooga, TN)

We have seen great improvement in our child with the methods used by LearningRx in not just academic but also everyday life skills and behavior. It is given us an insight into how her brain works. We are grateful.

Sarah (Plymouth, MN)

The gains my son made in this program have truly improved his school career. My son has more confidence in school and in his work, he’s reading faster, and more willing to read at home.

Kathleen (River Valley, AR)

Lots of improvement in his scores. Completely different kid!

Ms Barkley (Texarkana, TX)

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)

The instructor was Austin. He was very good-sincere, really connected with our son, diligent to keep challenging our son to go further. Overall a good experience.

Scott (Alpharetta, GA)

LearningRX helped my son tremendously his IQ increased beyond the average..The care that is given to your child from those who have a genuine heart..I highly recommend this program if your child is struggling with ADHD & Dyslexia you will not regret it…It has been a big sacrifice but it’s worth it!!

De (Shreveport, LA)

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)

I highly recommend this program for any child facing academic challenges. The staff was highly professional and accommodating, working around our schedule to provide the most convenient time slots. Their genuine concern and dedication to student success were evident throughout. They truly care about their students’ progress and well-being.

Tisha (Shreveport, LA)

It was amazing how this brain training positively affected every aspect of my 8-year old’s life, from comprehending what he read to learning and speaking to building confidence in himself and working through the meltdowns rather than shutting down. Homework time, discipline time, and times of losing are also a lot easier with new understanding. All of which will make his life lessons, now and in the future, easier to adapt to and learn from!

Brendan (Colorado Springs, CO)

The improvements my son experienced were undeniable and I think their program is very well done. My son was really struggling with auditory processing issues and he was spiraling at home and school. LearningRx not only identified what his issues were, but they explained them in such a way that took the fear out of the unknown.

Ever (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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)

My son started at LearningRx struggling with letter recognition and letter sounds. After just 30 sessions, he is reading and testing above average for his age and grade. The trainers genuinely care, and Gina really helped us understand where our son was struggling, and where improvement was needed. Seeing our son build his confidence and now thriving academically has been such a blessing. 100% recommend LearningRx.

Jennifer (San Antonio NE, TX)

LearningRx has helped push my 2 very genius girls to the next level by helping us understand how to continue to develop our already advanced children. We know that as parents we have to keep these gifted and talented kids involved otherwise they will become bored. The camps over the summer and breaks when they are offered have been especially fruitful and we are completely satisfied working with Kathi and Doug in Highlands Ranch!

Brian (Highlands Ranch, CO)

He really connected with the tutors here works with Natalie and Illeana, and the sessions quickly became part of his routine without feeling overwhelming. The results speak for themselves. His reading skills have significantly improved from where he started, and we’ve seen his confidence grow along with his abilities.

Garrio (Brooklyn Park, MN)

Noah appears to have more patience at home. Prior to classes at LearningRx I felt there were constant “battles” to get homework done, chores at home, and day-to-day requests. If Noah becomes overwhelmed, he is able to communicate that to me in a more positive way.

Marcy (Chandler, AZ)

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)

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