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!

The staff is amazing and Nicks progress is proof of how amazing this program is! I’m so proud of him and how much he improved and his confidence. Molly is amazing, and so informative. She always made nick feel comfortable and welcome in this program. She kept me updated all year and I couldn’t ask for better service.

Nicole (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

Awesome experience! Our daughter was struggling in school and her school scores had lowered throughout the year. We started researching and found LearningRX. We noticed a huge difference after three months and now she is above her grade level and loves reading!

Brandon Chattanooga East, TN)

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

Shannon (Chanhassen, MN)

We saw significant improvement in our daughter’s reading ability and fluency and know that it was from the work she did during her sessions at LearningRx. Our daughter started LearningRx being unable to read. She could sound out CVC words but was unable to blend the sounds together to say the word. She is now able to sound out many words, blend them together, and even read words without having to sound them out. She is able to read short stories. She used to dislike going to school as she would get frustrated with being unable to do the work. She now enjoys school and has a great attitude about going.

Heather (Princeton, MN)

We have seen the greatest change in her confidence and a more positive outlook on learning all around.

Chris (Pine River, MN)

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)

LearningRx has prepared our son to develop better cognitive skills such as his attention skills, processing speed, and auditory processing. It was a tremendous help and made a great impact. A turning point for our son! We are truly grateful for the program and the wonderful, caring teachers who have worked with our son! Thank you LearningRx!

Mrs. Soe (Texarkana, TX)

Audrina has grown so much over the 6 months she had training! We are so grateful for everyone at LearningRx Fort Collins for helping our daughter achieve her goals for school. She is able to comprehend her new material, have a shining confidence, motivation to keep learning, better attitude. She is able to perform at a higher reading level then when she started.

Casey (Fort Collins, CO)

He has struggled with reading and writing since preschool and only continued to fall further behind even with an IEP/school support plan. Coming to LearningRx has been the best decision we have ever made for our son. He absolutely loves coming, the staff is extremely friendly and, also encouraging. We’ve seen tremendous growth in his reading skills and working memory.

Susan (Shoreview, MN)

We couldn’t be more pleased with the LearningRx program and the progress our daughter made in specific cognitive areas. Tiffany Leader and the Franklin team challenged our daughter to achieve milestones, which also boosted her confidence across the board. I would definitely recommend LearningRx Franklin for anyone who needs a little brain boost!

Kristin (Franklin, TN)

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)

We stumbled upon LearningRx, thinking it was worth a shot— after graduating under a year later, we can confidently say it helped our child make better connections and improved her working memory. The staff and director are like family to us; they nurtured and encouraged our daughter more than just academically; they absolutely instilled confidence and kept her motivated throughout her training. Highly, highly recommend for kids and adults with memory problems, ADHD, problems with executive function and disorganization, or just needing a boost in productivity and efficiency.

KD (Franklin, TN)

I am so pleased by my younger daughter’s results. She has definitely improved her reading skills and attention span. MIss Ashley is a fantastic trainer and my daughter has loved working with her. My older daughter has completed her training program and we have noticed improvements in her reading, spelling, and math. Her memory and attentions span have also improved. I have noticed significant improvements in her reading abilities, attention span, and memory. Thank you Learning Rx!

Jovan H. (Charlottesville, VA)

It’s helped me come a long way in a short time the instructors are easy to understand and make learning math enjoyable to learn.

Nico (Sugarland, TX)

I see positive changes in my child’s personally and school wise. My child’s spelling has improved as well as verbal communication.

Sarah (Fairfax, VA)

The program had a profoundly positive impact on my children—I can clearly see the difference it made. After witnessing my oldest son’s remarkable growth, I knew I had to enroll my daughter as well. My only regret is not having done it sooner.

Katya (Savage, MN)

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 saw improvements in math, logic and reasoning, spelling, comprehension and processing speed. Rikki attends a school with a rigorous curriculum, and she is putting more effort into her work now that things have improved.

Jessica (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

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

Sherri (Huntsville, TX)

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)

LearningRx has been absolutely wonderful! The staff are caring, patient, and so supportive. Our son has made incredible progress — his teachers constantly comment on how much he’s improved both academically and behaviorally. We couldn’t be happier with his growth and the positive changes we’ve seen!

Steph (Eagan, MN)

For two or three years I knew something wasn’t right. The school kept telling me that he was at grade level and that it was okay. But it wasn’t okay, because he would avoid reading. We came [to LearningRx] in September and thy confirmed he had an auditory processing problem. It feels like the pressure is off my shoulders.

L. Jakeman (Shreveport, LA)

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)

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)

For us it’s not about improving his grade so much as his toolbox to be independent and in control of his studies and being inspired to do his best. Christen is such a wonderful guide for him – funny, motivating and kind. She has figured out his personality and designs the program to suit him. He willingly tears himself from his video games to come to class which is no small thing. We are really happy we found LearningRx and find it worth every penny.

Sarah (Tysons, VA)

Very Impressed with the program, it has helped my son tremendously Better focus, attentive and better mood

April (Chattanooga East, TN)

A year ago, my daughter was in tears almost every day regarding her math assignments. Now, although she still needs to work at math, there are no tears, and she has an increased level of confidence that she CAN do it.

Carla (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

LearningRx has been a transformative experience for my son. We chose it because we wanted to strengthen his cognitive skills, not just his academic performance. From the very first session, I noticed his confidence growing. The personalized, one-on-one approach helped target areas like attention, memory, and processing speed – skills that are often the root of learning challenges. His progress has been remarkable.

Karen (Shreveport, LA)

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)

Overall improvement of life and learning skills. Better memory, self-confidence and ability to follow thru and achieve success and routines.

Alicia (Fort Collins, CO)

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)

Shannon and Sofia did a spectacular job of encouraging and training a kid who has already significantly struggled in school and was very reluctant to engage in learning to open up out of her shell. They did an amazing job! To be fair, this is not an inexpensive tutoring service, but there is the potential for great improvement for kids who may have struggled with other academic support programs.

Matthew (Charlottesville, VA)

Greater ability to pay attention, work through hard things, speed in processing thoughts.

Mary (Eden Prairie, MN)

This program has changed the course of the way this child will learn for a lifetime. This is not a band aid program. It doesn’t just cover underlying problems with your learning capabilities. This is a lifelong tool to success. My daughter (8 yo) has ADHD and auditory processing working against her, and we saw the impact that it was having on her ability to focus, memorize, read and spell. Fast forward in time, 100 hours of LearningRx completed, (signing on for 40 more because we can’t get enough) and my child is reading at her grade level, she is excited about school, she is passing tests, her focus is better, her memory is better! I will always consider this the best gift I could give my daughter.

Emily (Franklin, TN)

Amazed by their expertise and guidance, my kid is more focused at school and at home and better thought process along the way. Highly recommended.

Jae S. (Chandler, AZ)

I know that Riley still needs work with his attention and focus. However, I have seen improvement in these areas that has helped his schoolwork. I’ve seen that he’s been a bit quicker to solve a problem and remember what he was doing. These are the biggest areas I’ve seen. Another plus has been that he’ll sit and focus for a longer period of time.

Christen (Glendale, AZ)

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)

He was getting distracted really easily by other students and noises in the classroom and it hindered his ability to stay on task. I was nervous about the thought of him beginning to drive with how easily distracted he can get but after this program I have seen a huge difference in him. If your child is struggling to pay attention in a distracting school environment, feeling like they’re stupid, or not enjoying school because they’re having trouble completing tasks then this program is for them. Give yourself or your child this gift it’s worth it. I highly recommend this program!

Allie (Colorado Springs, CO)

I highly recommend LearningRx for their personalized and effective cognitive training, which significantly improved my son’s confidence and cognitive abilities.

Mariestella (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

Our son LOVES going to LRX. He said learning has become easier. We are so glad for him and proud of how hard he works although LRX makes it so fun!

Melynda (Chattanooga, TN)

It has changed the way we interact with our children. From homeschooling, to discipline, it’s made a difference in how we work together as a family. I highly recommend! Each one of our kids have grown in effective communication and discipline.

Amanda (Pensacola, FL)

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)

My daughter has shown continued improvement in willingness to try and is no longer resistant to trying new or hard things – both academic and non. I do not believe we would continue to see such tremendous and continuous progress without this program.

Katie (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

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)

This is such a special organization. We invested in our son‘s future through LearningRx, and are very pleased with the results even after six months! We focused on auditory processing to balance with visual processing. The staff is very intelligent and personable and flexible support our family needs. I would recommend LearningRx to anybody at any age actually to build those neural pathways!

Michelle (Colorado Springs, CO)

My son has been attending LearningRx for just a month, and he loves it! He really enjoys the challenging games and looks forward to each session. His coach is very nice and has made a great connection with him. I can already see little improvements in his focus and engagement. My son usually resists new activities, but he’s been surprisingly enthusiastic about LearningRx.

Marcy (Eagan)

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 child made great progress during the program and all of the staff is welcoming and helpful! We have loved our time here.

Candice (NWA South, AR)

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)

The quality of life for our daughter has been greatly improved. We have seen huge life changing results and are deeply grateful for the people at Learning Rx! They truly care and it shows in everything they do.

Lorena (Chattanooga East, TN)

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