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

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)

It was an incredible experience having three children who looked forward to going to brain training on a weekly basis! These trainers were truly incredible in the way they spent time with my kids. I will forever be grateful as well as be a lifetime supporter for what LearningRx is striving to accomplish!

Jason (Pensacola, FL)

We signed our daughter up for sessions at LearningRx while she was struggling with 7th grade Civics. The trainers were great, forming personal connections with her, which helped her be more open to the curriculum and sessions. LearningRx gave us regular progress updates, and they were very encouraging of her progress.

Megan (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)

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)

My daughter has been a part of this program for over 3 months, and we’ve seen tremendous growth and development since she started. As a result of her training so far, she asserts herself in class more; she accomplished all A’s her first semester; and she won a class award for being a “top thinker”. LearningRx has given her skills to last a lifetime, but more than that, it’s made her a more confident individual who’s eager to learn.

Mandy (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

My child is more confident in herself and school. She is not avoiding reading, she knows that she is capable and wants to continue to improve. She can focus easier and when she is told homework needs to get done, she gets it done. She is not running to use the bathroom as an excuse to avoid schoolwork.

Zaret (Glendale, AZ)

Learning Rx Chattanooga took my child from struggling to soaring. He has gained more confidence in himself than I could have ever imagined.

Shannon (Chattanooga East, TN)

As we celebrate her graduation, we can positively share that those nights have been replaced with a love for reading and a strong sense of self-confidence. Julie will tell anyone and everyone that LearningRx is the reason she now knows how to read and what strategies she knows to help her with her dyslexia. We cannot express the thanks and gratitude we have for all the staff at LearningRx Shreveport for truly caring for Julie. The Director, Donesa is top-notch and an advocate for the clients and family. The trainers are outstanding.

Dex (Shreveport, LA)

The trainers really care about the students, and they push each student to reach the next goal. The training is very motivating, and it has helped my kids in levels of reading, motivation and confidence.

Julie (Woodbury, MN)

My son is doing so much better in school, he can focus on what needs to be done. Homework and projects would take HOURS for him to finish. Not anymore. He’s able to use time at school more effectively, which helps reduce the amount of homework he has. His focus, verbal comprehension, and auditory processing have improved so much and that was my main expectation of LearningRx.

Heather (Appleton, WI)

Fantastic staff and program. Really helped my child on her ability to do schoolwork. This year she has been spending about half as much time on assignments and her memorization is largely improved.

Kathryn (Fort Collins, CO)

My daughter trained here for almost a year. It was the best decision and commitment we could have made! She emerged an entirely new student and adolescence. She has problem solving skills and the confidence to apply them now. She has the work ethic to keep going when things get tough. Honestly I just can’t say enough great things about what this program did for my daughter!

Jenn (Charlottesville, VA)

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

Julia (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

Impressive results and an incredibly caring staff who are very focused on our child’s development. Really pleased with the results!

CM (Tysons, VA)

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)

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

Ms Rudd (Texarkana, TX)

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)

We came in looking for additional help, especially in reading, for our son who is so bright but was struggling with his schoolwork. The assessment affirmed what we thought as far as some cognitive skills which needed strengthening. I homeschool so I’ve been able to give him tons of one-on-one tutoring, but the improvement has been so slow. We are so excited about his progress and believe we have found just the right tool to make the bridges in his mind and give him the help he needs. Very thankful to have found this place!

Mindy (Savage, MN)

We are so happy to see the increased focus and confidence in our son.

Heather (Irvine, CA)

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)

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)

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)

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)

So very thankful for Robyn and Lauren. They worked with us every step and stumble. They provided extra support and encouragement when needed. We are thrilled with the changes in our daughter.

Julie N. (Chandler, AZ)

He plans ahead, he’s less reactive to adverse situations, less impulsive with decision making. He seems a lot more mature. And of course, he is reading voluntarily now!

Elizabeth (Huntsville, TX)

Transformative experience at LearningRx! My son has shown remarkable success and vast improvement in all areas since starting his journey with their program. The dedicated and amazing team provided exceptional guidance and one-on-one training that truly made a difference. Not only has my son gained confidence, but he is also enjoying school more and performing better in his studies. The personalized approach and supportive environment made learning enjoyable and engaging for him.

Flordeliza (Katy, TX)

The results were all I hoped for and more. I came in looking for some change, but I watched my child completely transform because of this program. This will forever change the course of her education.

Emily (Franklin, TN)

My son is a 9th grader and has had a great experience at LearningRx. He enjoys the “brain games” that are a part of the learning process. Julie and Josh have been great to work with! We are excited to see the progress that he makes once he finishes the program.

Amber (Eagan, MN)

The Learning RX model and coaches have proved to be the missing link we have been hoping for to help close the gaps in our son’s cognitive performance. Not only is he making huge strides as a student after a few months of training, but his overall confidence has grown significantly. He recognizes the benefits of his hard work because he’s experienced how brain training is enhancing all aspects of his life. We are thrilled with his progress and so thankful we found this life changing opportunity for our son.

Brian & Bonnie (Franklin, TN)

I can’t thank Learning Rx enough! Our son has officially graduated from the program and the improvement we have seen is amazing! It was the foundation he needed to thrive in school and we are relieved and grateful. I highly recommend this program! Thank you Learning Rx! Keep up the good work!

Lofquist Family (Raleigh, NC)

My sons processing skills, ability to respond to questions and his engagement in classes at school improved throughout his time with LearningRx.

Rachel (Appleton, WI)

I saw a tremendous increase in my daughter’s confidence! She was always there to help, offer additional resources and even do some trainings. She was a huge advocate for my daughter!

Courtney (Highlands Ranch, CO)

What an amazing experience! Our child (8) with ADHD and likely dyslexia had difficulty picking up reading/spelling/language before this program. He is now on track for his age and grade for reading but his memory, focus, and brain stamina have all exponentially expanded. Would highly recommend.

Terry C. (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

Huge academic improvements in all directions. Improvements in reading, listening, logic, behavioral treatment toward people. Limitless topics.

Naomi (Savage, MN)

LearningRx was recommended to my family by a teacher that took the time to see the potential that my child had. LearningRx was able to assist my child into becoming a more confident and happier student. This brain training was the best decision our family has made.

Tiffany (Colorado Springs, CO)

Ryleigh is more confident in reading. She has a better understanding of word meanings and can work at a much quicker speed. She is able to transition between tasks much quicker.

Susan (Appleton WI)

LearningRx gave me confidence and essential processing skills I needed for the future. I saw that when I worked at it, I could pass any level given to me, even if it seemed difficult at first. At school I began to finish tests more quickly and some homework assignments that I had were done faster than I thought they would take. Now that I have trained at LearningRx, I truly feel happier because of the amazing strides I have made from going though the program.

Adam (Shreveport, LA)

LearningRX has been a life altering / trajectory changing life decision for our son!!! The freedom he now has with his brain and processing skills is awesome! The drastic improvements he has had within school work and homework have been phenomenal. Robyn, Mrs T and the whole team have so much passion and so much wisdom to pour into these students.

David K. (Chandler, AZ)

The program was an excellent experience for Kai. He made a lot of progress in spite of his resistance at times. We are seeing his improvements in his schoolwork, less Cs and more As and Bs. His piano teacher can see the changes in his focus and progress with learning his material.
Kai would not be as far along without this program. They worked hard to meet him where he was and knew when to push him to achieve better results.

Pravin (Reston, VA)

LearningRx training program helped our son become a better student. He is able to focus better and improve his working memory as well as short and long memory. I higher recommend this training program to parents who have kids struggling with school.

Justin (Pensacola, FL)

I have loved being enrolled in LearningRx! My daughter has grown leaps and bounds in many different abilities. I am so thankful for our time here and will recommend any family to participate!

Katie (Chattanooga East, TN)

LearningRx has truly changed our daughter’s life. She used to struggle with reading, and now we see her confidence shining in ways we never thought possible. Gianna has been such an amazing trainer, and Brad and the whole team feel like family. You can tell they really care about the kids. We’re beyond grateful for everything you’ve done for our daughter!

Rosa (Savage, MN)

Math was always a struggle for her and in the last month, she’s been completing her assignments on her own without asking for help at all (she used to ask for help at least a few times every assignment) and she’s been getting 90+% on every one! Her attitude toward school in general has improved tremendously. She no longer drags her feet when it’s time to work; has a smile on her face instead!

Huk (Fort Collins, CO)

We could not recommend this program enough. They worked with us virtually as we were out of state. We wouldn’t have been able to do it if they didn’t have that flexibility. It requires a lot of work on the participants’ part, but we have seen our son grow leaps and bounds in his ability to read and enjoyment of it. It’s worth the investment

Colleen (Shoreview, MN)

Our experience at Learning RX was Great! The staff were very knowledgeable and supportive. So glad we signed up for the program. [Our son] made a huge amount of improvement.

K.S. (Chattanooga, TN)

What a difference 7 months makes. Thank you Khai, Jeri, and Jermy. Special thanks to Emily and Darian for their dedication and support. You both have made a positive and valuable improvement on my son. I am truly grateful and appreciative for your outstanding help. Thanks to Ada for filing in a couple of times.

Keisha & Nathan (Richmond Hill, ON)

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)

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