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 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)

My son has demonstrated an easy understanding in processing information so he can now resolve problems (homework) with ease and confidence.

Giselle (Chandler, AZ)

Dylan is more independent, confident, and resilient. He is capable of completing tasks now without our intervention or support.

Bryce (Irvine, CA)

The director is very down to earth and reasonable. He cares about the students and is always ready to listen to the concerns of the parents. He is someone I can trust with my child. I recommend this program very highly for any child or young adult who may be struggling in any area.

Maryanne (Elk River, MN)

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)

Improved attention and independence.

Tasha (Glendale, AZ)

Jessica (Woodbury, MN)

I was very pleased with the service I received from LearningRX. My child was substantially delayed when we entered the program. After 150+ lessons my daughter was able to correct her deficiencies and more importantly the skills she learned will help her in the future. In addition, I must mention professionalism of the entire team through frequent check-in meetings/follow-ups about the progress child is making as well as inquiring about anything additional they can do.

Drazenka K. (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

Molly did a great job as well. She helped explain the results, being thorough and clear with the plan. She was very good with Embry making sure to challenge her and encourage her.

Jenn (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

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

Chris (Pine River, MN)

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 has been so awesome and such a blessing for me!…I had never really planned ahead well or been an organizer type of person, but I had done well in school. So we found LearningRx, and in addition to my already recognized struggles, their pre-assessment revealed other areas of weaknesses that needed to be addressed. My focus and concentration have gotten a lot better, and it is harder to be distracted, by myself or others. My working memory and ability to use logic to figure various daily scenarios out has also improved…I would highly recommend LearningRx to others!

Rebecca (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

Our son’s attention span and just simple ability to focus on activities is so much better than it was when we started. This enables him to actually listen to teachers at school and retain the information.

Ellen (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

After he completed the program the first year, his reading significantly improved along with his word attack. He loves to read and this really helped his confidence. I would highly recommend this program for anyone struggling with reading comprehension and math skills, especially if you tried traditional tutoring. This is not a tutoring program, it is building a foundation on how to process skills in order to perform well in all areas of life including school. If you are like us that tried everything and nothing has worked, I would recommend giving LearningRx/Doug Mapp a call and let him help!

Brian (Knoxville, TN)

My children trained at Learning Rx and the benefits prompted me to train too. I can remember more things more easily, can instruct/train others more effectively, and multitask better. My child went from staying after school just to keep up to leading the class! Memory, performance, grades, and engagement went up!! Time spent struggling, avoidance, and frustration all went down! Confidence growth went along with that but the pride of performance was amazing to see for the first time…The instructor has been a blessing. Highly recommended without reservation.

David (Charlottesville, VA)

My daughter (13) did a customized training course focusing on reading comprehension and memory retention. Leah was her trainer for the entirety of training. My daughter saw dramatic results that have been sustained and carried through into her school year. I would highly recommend the training programs of LearningRX and the highly skilled staff that delivers the training.

Tiffany (Alpharetta, GA)

My daughter has been coming for two months, and her grades have improved significantly. She really enjoys coming here.

Juan (Edina, MN)

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)

Our son has increased his attention for a longer period of time in the classroom and is a more active participant during classroom discussions. Our son shows more willingness to read at home. He enjoyed coming to the session, working with his trainer and feeling comfortable in the learning environment. The directors and trainer were supportive of his learning.

Marie (Richmond Hill, ON)

Will is now interested in reading on his own — he’s diving into books. It’s great to see him grow in this area, where he was not willing to do before. Will has grown in confidence and his self-esteem and is better able to deal with challenges when he’s faced with time.

Kelly (Chaska, MN)

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)

Ava has improved so much of her memory and processing skills thanks to LearningRx! She is thrilled with how much faster she is able to complete her homework and understand her lessons and literature. Her confidence in both school and social situations have grown tremendously!

Brandi & Nicholas (Indianapolis NE, IN)

He’s more confident. He finishes his homework more quickly and with less distraction. He improved in his reading ability.

Ayan (Hopkins, MN)

When [my daughter] started the program, she presented with low self-esteem, anxiety, difficulty in maintaining focus and an aversion towards reading. I am happy to report that in 7 short months, [she] has turned all of this around. She is beaming with confidence…She is showing great strides in responsibilities not only in school work, but at home as well. Reading…. NO PROBLEM…They were able to target underlying cognitive skills and significantly improve them by focusing on her specific needs.

Courtney (Chattanooga, TN)

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)

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)

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)

Learning Rx was an important game changer for my son. We see improvements in focus, critical reading and thinking, math processes, academic independence, and self confidence. I highly recommend Learning Rx.

Jackie de Laveaga (Chandler, AZ)

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)

We’ve been going to Learning RX for a few months now. My son loves it and look forward to going everywhere. Its worth it!

Caravaggio (Eagan, MN)

Before we started the program, my son was struggling to read. I had run out of resources to help him and he was feeling so poorly about himself and doubted his ability. He not only reads fluently but understands his reading skills and his confidence has improved greatly!

Emily (Pensacola, FL)

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)

Caroline had positive results from the program. The team was consultative and provided regular feedback about Caroline’s progress. Also, the team was flexible with scheduling conflicts. Stronger test scores in school.

Lydia (Short Hills, NJ)

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)

Truly life changing opportunity to invest in your kids!

Meghan (Appleton, WI)

Our son has made many academic gains over the year and a half attending LearningRx. Our son has gained confidence and has a better outlook on school. His grades have improved and his teacher has seen growth in all academic areas.

Shelly (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

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)

My daughter struggled with mathematics. The training and tutoring offered by LearningRx is a game changer.

Hugo (Shreveport, LA)

Through his hard work and Donesa and her team’s dedication, his reading improved TREMENDOUSLY! I cannot thank them enough for giving my son his confidence back and the security to know that he can accomplish anything.

Shona (Shreveport, LA)

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)

The improvement that was shown from the start has been absolutely unbelievable! His confidence and fluency in reading that he has shown since the beginning has been outstanding and we are so impressed with everything!

Lauren (Pensacola, FL)

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)

Gabrielle has shown consistent improvements in her schoolwork scores. She has told us that school seems easier. Above all, Gabby has learned skills that will help her be successful in whatever she chooses to do. She has learned how to focus more intentionally, listen more actively, plan in advance, priorities her tasks.

Amy (Chandler, AZ)

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)

Our daughter just finished her 80th session and we believe it has improved her focus and confidence tremendously. While debating if we should check it out, we thought we’d rather give it a try instead of continuing to struggle and wonder if we made a mistake by not going or going too late. Now that we are through the sessions, we can say it was worth the time and financial commitment.

Jody (Savage, MN)

I can not thank Michelle enough for all of your help with my son! I was extremely nervous about my son starting middle school. He did such an amazing job navigating around zoom. He is self-starting, helping his classmates and feeling confident. If it wasn’t for Learning RX I feel his new way of learning would have a much different outcome.

Cindy (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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