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

Increased confidence, social skills and emotional regulation. Increase ability to sound out words and reading comprehension.

Alexa (Minnetonka, MN)

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)

Our daughter has enjoyed LearningRx and went from struggling to finish assignments to completing them and doing them correctly. She never wanted to read on her own without prompting and now will pick up books by herself to read. She said this is her best school year so far which is a huge change from the previous years. She is able to remember what is being told to her without having to repeatedly tell her.

Lindsey (River Valley, AR)

The improvements in my child’s reading skills and confidence that she has gained, a result of the LearningRx training. My child has gained so much confidence in her reading skills. She is no longer scared to pronounce words or make a mistake. She jumps right into each assignment without hesitating.

Mrs. Davis (Texarkana, TX)

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)

This program made a huge difference in my son’s cognitive skills! In pre-assessment, he scored well below average in 7 out of 9 skills. By the end of the program, he scored average to well above average in 7 of the 10 skills, while still showing huge growth in the two lower scoring skills. I highly recommend this program if your child struggles at all in any area!

Jennifer (River, Valley, AR)

Excellent experience for our son, helped with focus and executive function!

Andrew (Eagan, 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)

Excellent training by very caring and encouraging teachers! They always made me feel good about myself and taught me skills that I could apply in my everyday life. I feel much more confident and want to continue training to sharpen my skills and stay on top of things! Thank you Learning RX and, a special thanks to Mary, I will miss you! I will always remember your words of wisdom!

Jeanie (Chattanooga East, TN)

It is a wonderful service. The tutors are amazing and I love the program.

Jaime (Sugar Land, TX)

LearningRx was a wonderful academic support for our daughter. The environment was fun, motivating and productive. We are so grateful for this resource in our community!

Lindsey (Colorado Springs, CO)

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 team at LearningRx was really phenomenal! They worked with my son to help him with his reasoning and executive function skills. I really see the difference it has made in our lives. The staff was responsive and flexible, and my son loved his trainers. I recommend this program for anyone struggling with management or organizational skills!

Samia (Irvine, CA)

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 improvement in his overall willingness to work on academics has been wonderful. I am a big fan! He has learned to keep trying, mistakes or wrong answers are okay. He no longer gets as frustrated or upset with wrong answers.

Angela (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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)

LearningRx has really helped to improve her on all levels. We love working with Heather!

Loreal (Indianapolis NE, IN)

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)

My child has grown tremendously in her reading skills resulting in not only better academic performance but also decreased frustration. Most of all my child enjoys reading now when it used to be a fight to even try to get through basic sight words.

Gretchen (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

My daughter trained here for almost a year. It was the best decision and commitment we could have made! She emerged an entirely new student and adolescence. She has problem solving skills and the confidence to apply them now. She has the work ethic to keep going when things get tough. Honestly I just can’t say enough great things about what this program did for my daughter!

Jenn (Charlottesville, VA)

My child enjoyed the sessions with Emily very much. There were times when he was very tired after school, but he insisted on attending the training. He could feel the benefit of the brain training – paying attention to class and staying focused on homework, so he was motivated to go even when he was tired. Not only has his speed improved, but also the accuracy of the work itself. Thanks Emily and LearningRx!

IL (Richmond Hill, ON)

Our son was struggling with reading comprehension, and this was affecting many subjects as he entered middle school. He would study for tests and work on homework for hours at night. The grades he received did not reflect the work he was putting in which led to much frustration. Tutoring and extra help at school did not seem to help. Once we met with Tiffany and she explained the LearningRx model and how it was different from tutoring, we felt it was exactly what our son needed. And wow…did we see fast results.

Valerie (Franklin, TN)

Great program! My son completed about 4 months of the program and made such a huge change! I wasn’t for sure until I saw the numbers go up! The program director Mrs Donesa was great and very accommodating! My son’s instructor was also great as well, they align the kids to who suits them best, which is great! I would highly recommend.

Brea (Shreveport, LA)

Kathi and her team at LearningRx are amazing! It was very helpful to learn how our kid’s brains work and how we can help improve their progress in school and life. Brain training is so impactful. Highly recommend people and families check out what it can do for their family.

Holly (Highlands Ranch, CO)

Ryleigh is more confident in reading. She has a better understanding of word meanings and can work at a much quicker speed. She is able to transition between tasks much quicker.

Susan (Appleton WI)

Highly recommended. Found a solution for my child who was struggling in school.

Madison (Houston Central TX)

We are so grateful for LearningRx! Tiffany and her team are so wonderful. Not only did we see incredible results in our son’s focus and his ability to work through challenging subjects, but the sense of community and the boost in his self-confidence that came from LearningRx were truly life changing.

Morgan (Franklin, TN)

Personalized approach to meet individual child’s needs. Great results with program. Director, Molly, was a big advocate for us when dealing with the school system and getting him resources he needed. More confident, less resistant to homework, willingness to try new things. Overall better attitude towards learning.

Jennifer (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

Eventually, I started to enjoy coming in and started to see improvements myself. Throughout the program, I felt like my spelling got better and many other things. Most of the trainers were very nice. Although training was 1.5 hours long, it felt like it flew by because not only are the drills effective, but they are also fun and challenging. I’m very thankful for your time and help continuing my growth.

Aidan (San Antonio NE, TX)

The staff, program, and results that we have seen throughout the whole process for Jacquelyn has been a great experience! We are already seeing her confidence being boosted after a few weeks. Not only has the confidence changed in her, but the ability to do her own work independently and require less assistance. The results from the beginning to now are incredible and we as parents feel better about her future.

Jenny (River Valley, AR)

My daughter made an incredible amount of growth in her skills while at LearningRx, but even more than that, her confidence is soaring. When we used to go to the library, Piper would come home empty handed. Yesterday she brought home a book with over 300 pages–her confidence is that high. I’m grateful for the gentle encouragement and tough, supportive love from her trainer, Mary, through the last half year.

Jeni (Chattanooga East, TN)

We are new to LearningRx. But we love it. Staff are friendly, easy to talk to and helpful. My son likes his coach Gina. She always has smile on her face and great communicator.

Hani (St. Louis Park, MN)

Our daughter had a great experience with Learning RX. We saw great growth for her. She is more outgoing, more willing to talk and interact with family and friends, more interactive, not as short tempered and less irritable. She is more confident in so many ways and it’s been so great to watch her grow because of this program.

TA (Eagan, MN)

The service is amazing and she loved it here. She is now a more confident reader and loves to read and isn’t scared of the hard or challenging words.

Alli (Irvine, CA)

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)

I’m a little over four months into the program, and overall everything has been fantastic. Nick has been a wonderful trainer, helping push my mental skills to their limits. I’ve seen improvements to my focus and concentration, and most importantly to me, I’ve felt much more confident In just about every way. I’m looking forward to taking the skills we’ve refined into furthering my education.

David (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)

I am so glad that we found LearningRx as it has been a great experience for all of us. It really opened our eyes to the power of the mind and how it can adapt to anything. If one works on the deficiencies that they have, those deficiencies will soon become issues of the past and may even become strengths as they work their way through the LearningRx curriculum.

Jason (Shreveport, LA)

We’ve noticed an increase in confidence in himself. He seems to trust his abilities more than he used to. He is able to listen to directions better and seems more able to hear them. He is more excited about school and learning. LearningRx has been a great experience for him!

Alyson (Savage, MN)

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)

Jessica (Woodbury, MN)

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)

LearningRx has been the best thing we have decided to do for our kids. We have both of our kids in an individual program, 8-year-old daughter and 11-year-old son. Our son has dyslexia and ADHD. He has struggled in school even with an IEP at school and other touting outside of school. He has had so many achievements this school year. Our daughter was just a little behind grade level. She has caught up and is enjoying school for the first time.

RJ (Dayton, MN)

My daughter had a very positive experience at LearningRx. She loved working one on one with her trainers and enjoyed each session. She has made great strides in reading, math, writing and in her overall confidence as a student.

Gail (Eagan, MN)

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)

The instructing was amazing! I am able to remember number sequences better. I feel more confident about making decisions and communicating to people.

Hannah (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

LearningRx was the best decision we ever made for our daughter. She was struggling with reading, and her confidence was very low in school. Mary was her instructor and exceeded in every way. I saw major improvements within her program time frame. Very happy with the results.

Sandy (Charlottesville, VA)

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 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 become a game changer for our girl, reading problems is history in our daughter’s life. Marked improvement in reading, more confident and above all well organized and ready to tackle problems related to school.

Jacinta (Huntsville, TX)

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