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.”

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.

Hear from our Students and Families

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)

Improved memory and understanding, increased confidence and willingness to try new or hard things.

Valerie (Savage, MN)

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)

I really appreciated how LearningRx was one-on-one interactive, tailored to our needs, and progressed based on my child’s performance. I appreciated how LearningRx used both evidence-based approaches along with a custom approach tailored specifically to our needs. We have seen improvement in our son’s understanding of school materials, quality of memory and communication at home, and overall attitude toward working and trying to improve and achieve.

Sam (Knoxville, TN)

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

Minneh (Reston, VA)

Learning RX has had a wonderful effect on my son Roman. After several weeks of fast paced and fun online activity with a tutor, Roman had his first week of school. Roman, who last year had difficulty sitting at the computer and getting anything done in his post-covid, post-physical school sessions, was attentive, composed, and capable, in a way I have not seen before for this type of activity. Thanks to the excellently designed system and team for their work.

William (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

My son was struggling with his grades and overall understanding of what he was learning at school. We tried a few tutoring programs, but we knew immediately that just a rote learning wouldn’t make long lasting changes and it’s something we can do at home too. After the first assessment at LearningRx, we knew that was what we were looking for. Shortly after we started the program, we saw a big jump in his attitude towards learning. He was motivated, willing to try over and over again and much more acceptant of what he was lacking.

Suki (Richmond Hill, ON)

I see her confidence level through the roof. She speaks about herself in a more positive light. She is catching onto new material quicker and does not get distracted as easily.

Erin (Appleton, WI)

The staff took a true interest in our son and developing a strategy to help him grow and succeed in life and his education.

Mandy (Fishers, IN)

Excellent! My daughter has grown in her confidence, proficiency, and overall knowledge! She completes school assignments quickly and accurately. She has benefited greatly from the professionals at LearningRx! We could not be more pleased!

Lori (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

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)

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

Craig & Sarah (Indianapolis NE, IN)

Tatum is so much more willing to try hard things, his reading has improved tremendously. We recently had a parent/teacher conference, and his teacher had such great things to say about him. He is being a leader in his classroom (which is new for him), he is working hard, and his math and reading skills are right where they should be.

Sara (Appleton, WI)

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)

I now have so much more focus in my day-to-day tasks and can make decisions 1 million times easier instead of spinning my wheels and not getting anything done. I did not expect at this stage in life with almost adult children that I could effectively retrain my brain. Two of our children also did the program and had positive results as well. If you were looking to invest in yourself and or your children, I highly recommend LearningRx.

Colleen (Fort Collins, CO)

We began in the last month of a school year, with my 12 year old, flighty, eccentric little girl. On the side over the summer, this kid who always wanted to read along with audio books started reading chapter books for fun. I was encouraged. Then school started. We just finished our first week, and I noticed HUGE gains in her work. She focuses even on “boring” textbook reading really well, and her retention and comprehension is fantastic. I know she’s going to be able to make up for lost time on reading, writing, and math. I even noticed handwriting improvement!

Dana (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

They truly know how to make kids feel at ease, turning what could be a stressful experience into an exciting and enjoyable one. I believe every parent should take the opportunity to assess their child’s learning abilities. Understanding where they are academically and cognitively is so important for effective learning and growth. LearningRx in Shreveport is a game-changer. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to give their child a solid foundation for success!

TND (Shreveport, LA)

My daughter struggled with math, reading, spelling, and memorization. After her training at Learning Rx, all of those skills have improved, and she has great self-confidence! This program has changed her entire future!

Heather (Chattanooga East, TN)

My child’s improvements were very impressive and worth every penny! Bella has shown significant improvements in school and at home. We are very proud of her success!

Ms Thorton (Texarkana, TX)

Ethan could not read at the beginning of his training. He had no confidence on himself. And the school did not support us as a family. The difference in his attitude is what makes me so happy and proud. He is a different kid. He not only knows he can do hard things but that he will succeed. That alone is the best feeling as a parent. Thank you for your patience and support Ms. Sandra and Mr. Don.

Magy (Fairfax, VA)

The LearningRX program was extremely helpful for my child. We noticed the change come gradually as our child progressed through the program, saw increased confidence and changes in his approach to his studies. For us the change was subtle but noticeable, especially in his ability to focus on his tasks at hand. My child developed an excellent rapport with his teacher who was very patient while pushing our child to excel. Thank you Khai, Jeri and your whole team for all your support!

Ramon (Richmond Hill, ON)

Very thankful for LearningRx and the help it has provided our child. Seeing her gain confidence and ability is priceless. Michelle, Jennifer, Jordan, and the rest of the team are the best of the best. Your kindness and professionalism are simply the cherry on top

Kellen (Chattanooga, TN)

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)

My son has progressed in his reading & math skills tremendously.

Ms Jackson (Texarkana, TX)

We are very happy with the progress our daughter has achieved while at Learning RX and we were very impressed by the quality of our teachers!

Christy (Raleigh, NC)

Our daughter always walked out after her session with a big smile, feeling more confident. Her short and long-term memory have improved, noticeable in her daily school and home routines. Her number sense has improved dramatically. Proof of this has been her ability to understand and work with factors, fractions, and the coordinate system, which I thought would be an extremely difficult task to accomplish.

Elvira (Tysons, VA)

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)

LearningRx has changed the trajectory of our son’s educational future and ability to learn. We have been blown away by the success of this program. Our son no longer dreads going to school and is now able to complete his work. He has confidence to do hard things that he didn’t have before.

Lindsey (River Valley, AR)

I have been few places more encouraging, welcoming, or accepting than our local LearningRX. Far more important than growth in his cognitive abilities — and there was a lot of growth! — we valued the constant emphasis of success being tied to cheerful effort. That made it possible for our son to move beyond his emotions and debilitating perfectionism and allowed him to Keep Trying until he had mastered a difficult task. He also learned that he’s valued for WHO he is, not WHAT he can do.

Ellen (Chattanooga East, TN)

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)

My son has been going to LearningRx since about August. He is now in Junior Honor Society for his school. This is brand new for him. I highly recommend this place. It is really an investment in your child’s future and well worth the cost!

Julie (Shreveport, LA)

We had a great experience with LearningRx for both of our children. We saw growth in confidence and ability as well as an understanding of what it takes to achieve mental and academic goals.

Kevin (Savage, MN)

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)

Our son has made a lot of positive progress during his time at LearningRx. His reading has improved, confidence is much higher, and school has become less of a struggle. Before LearningRx he needed a lot of direction from his teacher at school and a lot of tears and feeling left behind by his peers. The staff is amazing and care so much for students and their success.

Erica (Fort Collins, CO)

Our son just completed the program and we are very pleased with our experience overall. We see a notable difference in several areas. We truly appreciated the support his trainer has given him and his ability to meet my son where he was, making each training session engaging.

Elif (Eagan, MN)

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)

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)

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)

Hearing the news that your daughter has dyslexia is quite frightening. As a parent all you see is your bright, beautiful, and perfect little girl. Your first thought is fear, but then you want to help. Reaching out to LearningRx was the best academic decision we could have ever made for her. They have the sweetest staff, and we were blessed with the best trainer. She has truly transformed my daughter to a reader. Her confidence level when reading has tripled. Through all of the whining and complaining, they pushed through.

Brittany (Many, LA)

We initially tried a going to a learning/tutoring type center. But when the administer expressed doubts about my child’s ability to comprehend tasks directions and to work independently, I began searching for a program that would aid comprehension. This led to my internet search and in me finding LearningRx. It was a blessing and miracle, very early on, to see my child perform multi-step commands without additional prompts by me. Now, we have seen a true love of writing after practice with the Learning Rx trainer.

Ericka (Raleigh, NC)

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)

LearningRx has been a game-changer for both of my boys! We’ve seen remarkable progress in their cognitive skills—far beyond our expectations. What truly set the LearningRx Eagan program apart is the patience, precision, and genuine empathy each instructor brings. Every coach is deeply committed to their students’ success—and it shows in every session. We feel incredibly fortunate to have found LearningRx and can’t recommend it highly enough to any family looking to unlock their child’s full potential.

Abhik (Eagan, MN)

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)

As homeschoolers, we were stuck in several areas of her studies and couldn’t figure out what was missing. After putting her through the program, not only did her problem-solving skills improve, but there was also peace in teaching her again because things were connecting that never had before! Now a freshman in college, our daughter is thriving and experiencing academic achievements she never would have had we not understood and addressed her obstacles with the help of LearningRx.

Lisa (Shreveport, LA)

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)

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)

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

Shannon (Chanhassen, MN)
