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

My daughter is a senior in high school and has struggled in school all her life. She has had tutors on and off for over 10 years. Her biggest struggles were with her processing both visual and auditory, memorizing math facts and problem solving to name a few. They were very understanding and flexible with her training sessions because she is a very busy student. They met three days a week online for about six months and now after those six months, she has improved in every area and is doing better in school and has much more confidence in herself. She now has a good foundation to be successful in life.

Sara (Woodbury, MN)

My daughter is gifted and talented. She loves the challenges she receives from LearningRx, and she even teaches some of the activities to her cousins. Most importantly, I have noticed that she is much sharper.

Parent (Cresskill, NJ)

I recommend this program for parents who has a child with ADHD. This program helped my daughter to block out distractions, to really use her brain of figuring things out, and she completes her homework faster without being reminded to do her homework. The program is also great for adults.

On Yong (San Antonio NE, TX)

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)

The training at LearningRx for my daughter helped on her attention and memory resulting in big improvement of the understanding and reading comprehension. The directors are very friendly, knowledgeable, and adaptive with well management skills.

Liping (Richmond Hill, ON)

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

Sherri (Huntsville, TX)

My daughter completed this program and we have seen incredible improvements in confidence and even end of year state testing results! We are glad we made the investment in this program.

Crystal (Lacy, WA)

My boys are about 3 months into their training and they are both starting to notice improvements. They both notice that it is easier to read and focus/understand what they are reading. One of my boys plays sports and he has even noticed a difference while playing. He has noticed he is able to focus on multiple aspects of the game which is something he has always struggled with. I’m excited to see the differences they notice when they go back to school.

Kelli (Chattanooga East, TN)

LearningRx has unquestionably changed my life for the better. I discovered that you have to believe in yourself and keep pushing forward, even when it’s tough. Another outstanding aspect of LearningRx was the great sense of community. My trainers were always patient with me, even on my bad days. They constantly encouraged me to give 100% effort, and I did—because I genuinely wanted to improve the way my brain and memory works.

Bailey (Woodbury, MN)

My 24 year old daughter has Down Syndrome…Before Learning RX my daughter had tried many ways to learn to read, and she would always get stuck on blending words. Learning RX’s expertise on the brain and learning has proved that my daughter can read. She can blend words now and she’s believing in herself and gaining skills to help her into a more independent life. We are making huge strides just within 3 months!!

Katherine J. (Charlottesville, VA)

Dr. Ana is very kind, patient and easy to work with. She will help your child learn and thrive academically. LearningRx tells you why your child is not learning and helps improve his cognitive skills, so you don’t keep wasting your money on tutoring when s/he’s not yet ready.

DM (Cary, NC)

Our daughter has improved in reading, which is making school and homework easier. She is more confident, so her behavior is better.

Tifani (Appleton, WI)

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)

I already have recommended this program to everyone in earshot. My ability to engage my focus and actively switch between tasks is better than ever before. It is incredible how differently my brain is operating now.

William (Reston, VA)

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)

Extremely great program! I would definitely recommend. I had two of my sons go through it and they improved academically and socially.

Jenny-Rae (Brookfield, WI)

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)

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)

LearningRX is making a huge difference for our son in so many ways. The beginning of his time in the program happened to coincide with the Covid-19 pandemic. I’d say if looking for a silver lining we had one here for sure. Highly recommend, they take great consideration when pairing learners with trainers and the follow up/check in meetings and overall communication is excellent!

Mindy (Charlottesville, VA)

My son struggled hard with reading. The approach to learning has helped him flourish. His reading comprehension is by and far improved, and he is reading whole pages without stumbling. Highly recommend for all ages and learning styles, for ADD/ADHD and other learning disabilities. It’s one thing for us to be proud of his progress, but it’s something wholly different for him to be proud and confident.

Jes D. (Charlottesville, VA)

I have seen my daughter grow in her ability to learn and her confidence bloom. This program is worth every penny and time spent. I would recommend this program to any parent that has a child. LOVE THIS PLACE!

Sherri (Pensacola, FL)

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)

In just a few months, noticeable improvements emerged—enhanced focus and attention, making it easier for him to grasp new concepts. Having successfully completed the program, his confidence has soared, and he now navigates school effortlessly. Math tests no longer evoke apprehension, and he has evolved into a more independent and efficient learner.

Kathyn (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

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)

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)

Highly recommend LearningRx! As someone who was in college struggling with college algebra, LearningRx really helped me out with learning it in a simpler way than any teacher could’ve done.

Spencer (Shreveport, LA)

The training really helped me prepare for college. All three staff members that I worked with were very helpful and nice. It was easy to schedule my trainings around my busy schedule. I am excited to start college and see how much this helped me improve in the classroom

Emily (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

The trainers are dedicated and really care about the kids. My son is more confident in his abilities. The trainers have helped him learn how to work hard even when the work is hard.

Sara (Savage, MN)

My daughter was diagnosed with ADD…Fortunately, I did not wait too long after this diagnosis to bring her to Rx. Her struggles consisted of: difficulty reading, spelling, processing information as well as the inability to retain it (short term and long term memory.) What used to be 20 min. Intervals of school work at a time has become day-long endurance…Not only is her reading off the charts, but her comprehension was a benefit that I didn’t expect. Thank you, Dargan, Michelle and the whole team – we are forever grateful!

Kimberly (Charlottesville, VA)

Although I’m an adult, I greatly benefit from my training at LearningRx! After 6 months of training 3 days a week, I’m noticing I’m starting to calculate numbers in my head, which is huge since I was diagnosed with dyscalculia in my early 20’s! I’m even finding myself visualizing my next turn when driving, something I could never do before my training! LearningRx is helpful for all ages! I only wish I found them sooner!

Miranda (Reston, VA)

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)

We were referred by family members who went through training in Pensacola and Atlanta. We are very happy with the improvements and have decided to add extra training hours.

Ena (Alpharetta, GA)

Our son was struggling in school from the time he started Kindergarten. By 3rd grade our son was so frustrated and in tears over homework that I started to seek more answers…Then I found Learning RX. When we started this program he was on a Kindergarten to first-grade level at the age of eight. After ten months of training you can see the growth and confidence that he now has when completing his work and reading. He has increased his scores by 2 to 3 grade levels. This program has been huge for our son and I would recommend it to any parent that has a child struggling in school.

Jenny (Chattanooga East, 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)

When we brought our six year old son to Learning Rx he was in special ed for reading and math. He was spending more time in the principle’s office than in his classroom. He is now in regular class for both reading and math. He has not gone to the principle’s office this school year. When asked why he liked Learning Rx he stated that it helped his brain think like all the other kids. We highly recommend this program. The cost and the time spent is well worth the return.

Steve (Chattanooga East, TN)

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

Kevin (Chattanooga, TN)

We have really seen an improvement in our son’s cognitive ability since we started LearningRx. The trainers are exceptionally good, and we would highly recommend this course for anybody who is looking for a better way to learn!

Craig G. (Charlottesville, VA)

I cannot express how impressed I am with their service. My son has tested out of his grade for reading and math when before he was struggling with both.

CW (Appleton, WI)

Confidence. Focus. Memory. Test scores. Organization! All improved!

Tracey & Josh (Indianapolis NE, IN)

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)

My daughter was having a hard time and school and LearningRx changed that. Her confidence is remarkable now.

Ms Rosales (Texarkana, TX)

After seeing the growth our son has gained, it is a no brainer everyone and anyone could benefit from it.

Tammy (Big Lake, MN)

After completing a 20-week program, we’ve seen great improvements in her abilities at school. She is better able to stay focused and deal with distractions, something that had previously been a challenge. Her confidence has soared and this boost in self-assurance has been evident in all areas of her academic and social life. Math, which once felt like a constant struggle, has become much easier for her. She now handles math facts with greater ease and working through her math homework no longer causes the same frustration.

Stephanie (Savage, MN)

Before starting this program, I struggled with auditory processing, which often made communication and focus more challenging. Now, not only has my auditory processing improved dramatically, but my productivity has skyrocketed, my memory is sharper, and my overall cognitive abilities have reached new heights.

Linzy (Highlands Ranch, CO)

I can think through multiple thoughts easier and make decisions quicker.

Samuel (Irvine, CA)

Micah’s ability to learn without ‘freezing’ is the biggest improvement. Micah’s abilities to spell, write, read, follow instruction have all drastically improved. Micah’s confidence has improved. His excitement of learning has skyrocketed.

Marilyn (Chandler, AZ)

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)

The program is set up in such a way that I was able to progress with ease. My memory has definitely gotten stronger. I’m also able to remember and comprehend what I just read better.

Shannon (Indianapolis NE, IN)

My son has gained much more confidence and focus while taking this course. He is more organized and willing to take on challenges knowing he can use the skills learned in Rx to work through any problem. He was not comfortable taking ADHD medicine prior to Rx and now we feel he may never need it!

Nickie H. (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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