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 child saw improvement in her ability to focus in the classroom while improving her grades both in class and in standardized testing. She also gained confidence which was evident in all areas of life.

Mary (Franklin, TN)

Math greatly improved. All your programs are really comprehensive. Your results and improvements are measurable. Super friendly and warm atmosphere, not coldly academic–it was a place our child wants to come to.

Angel (Eden Prairie, MN)

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 it because it has allowed me to take more control over my life because my brain is functioning more efficiently. That makes everything better! I am so pleased with my results from LearningRx. I went from being frustrated with how my brain worked and feeling like I was “stupid” to gaining confidence in my abilities to manage tasks. I have so much more time now that I can organize and prioritize my thoughts. LearningRx has changed my future.

Blake (Raleigh, NC)

Daniel had difficulty learning material and was not getting the support he needed in the school system. After he trained his attention, memory, comprehension and more got better. He still is not at grade level but his ability to learn is improved. The center, director and trainer were always supportive of our needs. They worked very hard to help Daniel and showed a lot of patience.

Dihn (Reston, VA)

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

Sherri (Huntsville, TX)

The performance of the directors was incredibly supportive and very family oriented. Working with both of them to support our child was a privilege and honour. We have noticed that our child is more confident, has an easier time with approaching challenges and is less anxious. Being apart of the LearningRx family has helped her cognitive, social and logical aptitudes.

Jeff (Richmond Hill, ON)

The improvements my son experienced were undeniable and I think their program is very well done. My son was really struggling with auditory processing issues and he was spiraling at home and school. LearningRx not only identified what his issues were, but they explained them in such a way that took the fear out of the unknown.

Ever (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

Dargan and his colleagues, Ashley and Gray, are AMAZING brain trainers. They are so patient, kind and caring and those are the necessary ingredients to challenge an older brain like mine (55 years) to grow and improve. If you or your children are looking for a solid scientific approach to dial in your brain function, you have found the right place!

Brian (Charlottesville, VA)

Because it’s a wonderful place to learn with the friendly staff. I was the oldest in the class at a fine age of 66! Your brain is so amazing, and it needs to be exercised and strengthened. I would recommend the LearningRx center.

Patricia (Woodbury, 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)

My daughter was paired with the perfect coach for her personality, and she grew tremendously where her skills lacked. Amelia’s grades went from C’s, D’s and F’s to A’s and B’s! She’s more confident and doesn’t shy away from reading. Plus, she loves school again.

Kristen (Pensacola, FL)

The speed at which Colt was able to improve his reading, to the point of not needing much help from us was remarkable.

Andria (Rogers, MN)

Schools do not provide supports like these to help kids who struggle with conventional learning. Always trying to find ways to make things possible and the excellent communication.

Scott & Heidi (Indianapolis NE, IN)

LearningRx was our saving grace. I searched high and low for services like this and finally found them. My son was struggling so bad in school and was so far behind his peers. He not only lacked the educational ability, but he lacked confidence. For the last year and a half, he went here and they built his confidence beyond what I could ever imagine. After suffering an acquired brain injury, I never thought I’d hear my son read. But thanks to the wonderful staff at LearningRx he is now reading and excited to learn.

Stacey Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

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)

Heather (Shreveport, LA)

Her confidence has soared, and her ability to process and understand information has improved dramatically. I see her approach challenges without the fear of failure, and she’s now reading every day, sometimes for over five hours! LearningRx has made a lasting impact on her academic journey and personal growth. I highly recommend LearningRx to any parent looking for effective brain training for their child.

Lisa (Raleigh, NC)

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)

We had a great experience with LearningRx and have had a lot of growth academically. The staff is wonderful, and we would do it all over again.

Lindsey (Shreveport, LA)

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)

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)

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

Heather (Irvine, CA)

The profound growth we saw in our son. Listening abilities and ability to verbalize thoughts and feelings are now happening, whereas before LearningRx it was a tantrum. His self-esteem and confidence have drastically improved.

Sarah (NWA South, AR)

Great people and thoughtful approaches to helping students build academic competencies.

Jonathan (Dublin, OH)

I have seen improved confidence, attitude, attention, and academic ability in reading and math.

Jill (Fort Collins, CO)

We have seen many improvements within Mackenzie in all categories. Not only has it helped her grades and academically but in everyday life. She is much more confident in herself, and this program has helped grow her brain, but she has also grown as a person.

Jamie & Kevin (Indianapolis NE, IN)

Both children continued to make huge gains in working memory, retention, auditory and visual processing, and more! Aside from the program itself, Michelle and the staff at LearningRx Chattanooga are incredible to work with. My children felt loved and supported through the program and the staff were always available to answer questions or provide tailored advice for our family. I can’t recommend LearningRx Chattanooga enough!

Jordan (Chattanooga, TN)

You connected with Carsyn on different level, she learned so much with you and we will be recommending our friends to come here to you!

Clayton (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

We’ve been bringing our daughter to the LearningRx for a few years now. We love the staff and have seen amazing results with our daughter. Besides reading improvements and mental math accomplishments, our daughter’s confidence has greatly increased!

Laura (Dublin, OH)

It helped my child to grow in confidence and life skills. My child has more confidence, attention and focus.

Cindy (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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)

Ron (Eagan, MN)

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)

My daughter has more fluency and confidence now when she reads, but most of all, she is reading! She totes several books in her bookbag to and from school to read during down-time at school and at home. Reading is no longer seen as a chore and there is no longer the same struggle we had before starting this program.

Aaron (Staunton-Harrisonburg VA)

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)

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 growth our child had during and after this program has been amazing! He improved in every aspect of his life, from school to home life.

Celina (Indianapolis NE, IN)

From the moment I contacted Maureen to the last day, communication was clear, prompt, and professional. Our concerns about Omar were addressed, and a clear plan of action was given to us. A huge bonus was that Omar actually looked forward to going to see his teacher Tully and later Katie. On several occasions, I’ve heard Omar telling his friends how LearningRx is the best kind of tutoring he’s had because it’s “actually fun.”

Sarah (Tysons, VA)

After I attended LearningRx my work started taking me half the time! I would recommend LearningRx to anyone with a slow work pace… it’s fast and easy and really works!

Bryan (Shreveport, LA)

It was not a one size fits all program. The tested progress along the way, made necessary adjustment to ensure progress was happening. The director was always available if we needed anything, answered all our questions and make sure we were comfortable before we started, during the training and following graduation.

Stephanie (Minneapolis, MN)

Dewi is an amazing person to work with, she’s very knowledgeable and professional, I highly recommend her!

Noor (Houston Central, TX)

This program has given him the confidence he needed to conquer school. Our child has gained confidence to read that he lacked, he has become more fluent in reading, he has a more positive outlook on school.

Kathy (River Valley, AR)

He now has confidence to raise his hand to answer questions out loud in class & reads out loud when asked to at school & church. He is making good grades & is very proud of himself as we are all proud of him! He no longer hates school & is looking forward to being in Junior High. He will begin the LearningRx reading comprehension program this summer to help boost him even farther!

Susan (Shreveport, LA)

Life-Changing Experience at LearningRx Richmond Hill. The brain training exercises used at LearningRx are nothing like traditional tutoring — they are engaging, innovative, and truly transformative. Over time, we noticed that our child became more attentive in school, more willing to do his homework, and, most importantly, more confident in his abilities. His academic skills improved, yes, but the boost in confidence and motivation was what really stood out. The progress he made through this program has been life-changing for our entire family.

Jason (Richmond Hill, ON)

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)

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

Ayan (Hopkins, MN)

We had a wonderful experience at LearningRx! Our 16-year-old son had recently received an ADHD diagnosis and LearningRx was recommended to us. He had issues with processing speed and executive functioning. The individual attention and guidance given to him was invaluable at helping him develop into his “true” self! Thank you for everything, LearningRx!

Tracey (Chattanooga, TN)

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)

LearningRx has been so helpful for my daughter in her reading journey! She has improved in her auditory processing, short term memory/working memory, and confidence; even her attitude toward reading has improved! We are so happy with the progress she has made with the guidance and expertise of the amazing team at LearningRx. My daughter loves her trainer, Amber! LearningRx has been such a positive experience all around.

Leah (San Antonio NE, TX)

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