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 Learning RX program has been so great for our son. Not only did it build his confidence but it increased his neuro cognitive ability to process things more efficiently. My son has increased his passion for reading and we have seen so much overall improvement.

Lacey Leonard (Chandler, AZ)

LearningRx has been the best decision I ever made for my son. The growth and transformation I’ve seen academically has been astronomical. The one-on-one brain training has given him the foundation and tools needed to excel in school. I am beyond grateful for LearningRx and Ms. Makenzie his trainer.

Ashley (San Antonio NE, TX)

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)

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)

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)

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)

All of my children have completed programs with LearningRx and have done well. Victoria has worked on increasing her memory and speed when taking tests. She is successful in school.

Maria (The Woodlands, TX)

We are so happy with our daughters’ results, truly life changing for her!

Ayla (Huntsville, TX)

LearningRx was a wonderful program for my son!! The tutors are very caring, I felt they were just as excited as my husband, and I were with the progression of our son. The program has instilled skills and learning techniques that will help him throughout his education. Thanks LearningRx, and I recommend the program to any and all parents seeking help with their students!!

Yolanda (Shreveport, LA)

We are so pleased with the results of our experience with LearningRx! Our student has increased in his attention and processing, as well as his ability to persevere through difficult or non-preferred tasks. We are very impressed with his improvement and happy we chose LearningRx!

Devon (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

My son went to Learning RX for about two years. The staff was amazing, can’t say enough good things about them! My son learned many skills, gained confidence going into the next school year and just in general processing improvements. He was always happy to go as they made the activities enjoyable and engaging. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for this kind of training!

Dania (Sugarland, 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 support team at LearningRx was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable, going above and beyond to address my memory problems and provide individualized guidance to overcome them. I had private tutoring services with Kathi and it made a significant difference in my cognitive assessment results, demonstrating a tangible improvement in my logic and reasoning abilities.

Christie (Highlands Ranch, CO)

LearningRx has fundamentally changed our son’s approach to not only his education, but his life in terms of confidence and self-assurance. The approach taken by his trainer (Cathy) has resonated with him on every level and has made our lives easier…We highly suggest LearningRx for individuals of all ages and hope your success matches ours.

Mollie (Charlottesville, VA)

Our son had struggled with ADHD and OCD for many years through school. School continually struggled to meet his needs and adapt to someone that thinks differently. LearningRx has been absolutely life changing in the success of our son. His score improvements was a testament to that. The larger changes we saw were in day to day thinking, problem solving, attention to details, staying on track with a schedule and overall increased confidence was clear. The only thing is I wished we had found LearningRx earlier in his school career.

Adam (Savage, MN)

My brain fog is clearing. My grandmother, who I live with, is seeing better comprehension and response time. The LearningRx staff was always so supportive in helping me to meet my goals.

Kayla (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

We had our 11th grade son go to LearningRx because he was struggling with reading comprehension and listening comprehension. We were a bit worried that it would be too elementary as the other programs we looked into were. We were pleasantly surprised by the result and highly recommend it to anyone! Our son was able to make gains in all areas as well as gain much needed confidence to tackle any future challenge that comes his way!

Kellie (Woodbury, MN)

Itty is way more confident in her abilities as a student. She can finally read fluently and is able to decipher written language. She has said that school feels easier in general and makes more sense.

Kim (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

Overall, his reading ability improved, and his confidence level has greatly improved! I thought his trainer did an exceptional job with him and he really liked working with her! Overall, I am happy with his growth and look forward to him applying what he learned.

Jay (Maple Grove, MN)

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)

The biggest change we saw in him was his ability to listen, focus and pay attention. He is now able to keep himself on task and focused on what he is doing while also listening to those around him. He has been able to listen and not need for it to be repeated, while also retaining what he heard to apply or question it later.

Ms Capps (Texarkana, 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)

Wonderful staff! Friendly and safe environment. My son has grown so much over the past year being with Learning RX.

Aaron (Chattanooga, TN)

I found myself struggling in many areas both personally and professionally. Their program has helped give me my life back. The assessment was able to provide so much insight and help me understand why I was struggling. Their coaches are so nice and supportive, and the training itself is fun. Their pricing is fair and transparent, and they guide you through the process and make it so easy. Thank you!

Maddy (Highlands Ranch, CO)

I loved this place because the people that teach it create a fun environment, the games that are incorporated are really fun to play while also learning a lot through them too!

Lukas (Woodbury, MN)

I cannot say enough positive things about the impact that LearningRx has had on my children. We saw measurable improvements over the course of the training in not only his reading and comprehension but also in his confidence at school and with peers. So when my second child began displaying similar struggles, he completed the program and made huge progress as well. What was truly amazing was taking the 1 year post graduation test to see how both children continued to make huge gains in working memory, retention, auditory and visual processing, and more! I can’t recommend Chattanooga LearningRx enough!

Jordan (Chattanooga East, TN)

LearningRx has been such a game changer for our 9-year-old. We are so thankful for them!

Chris (Chattanooga, TN)

From skeptical to beyond satisfied! We are very satisfied with our experience at LearningRX. The staff was helpful and easy to work with. We are pleased with our son’s progress and look forward to him continuing his improvement.

Laura (Chattanooga East, TN)

LearningRx was one of the best decisions we made this year! Our grandson was struggling in his high school senior year and this team turned him around :). Plus he enjoyed all of his sessions and his interactions with everyone there. His improvement in every area was incredible. Thank you!

ML (Shreveport, LA)

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)

We have been very pleased with Kaelyn’s second round of training. The staff understood what she specifically needed and helped her to build more confidence and better math and comprehension skills. We have seen so many improvements.

Elena (Reston, VA)

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)

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)

When my son first started his cognitive training at LearningRx in February 2024, his speech and conversation reciprocity was very limited. Memory recall was an extreme challenge for him and his ability to reason and think things through were difficult tasks. Olivia, his trainer, is simply amazing! She was able to build a wonderful rapport with my son which is not easy given his challenges due to Autism. He has had many different therapists over the past 10 years, and no one has been able to reach him and teach him like Olivia has done.

Denise (Shoreview, MN)

I see improvements in my son’s focus and grades at school. In my opinion, the program works. But Lisa and other staff are great in their performance. They show results.

Dewi (Sugar Land, TX)

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

Jaime (Sugar Land, TX)

I am so thankful for Kathi and LearningRx! I was able to get my mom’s memory assessed and it was better than we hoped. We also have a great 12-week plan and long-term strategy to keep her as sharp as possible. My mom is so happy! Kathi’s knowledge, experience and patience was fantastic! Now I am getting my daughter in to see her as soon as possible before she heads to college!

Patti (Highland Ranch, CO)

LearningRx Eden Prairie outperformed our expectations! I was honestly a bit skeptical about it at first but going in talking to Baird understanding how they approached things all made sense. Our teenage son completed the program and the transformation of his confidence, wittiness, memory, grades (when he applied himself) and overall ability to recognize situations was life changing.

Mike (Minneapolis, MN)

Improvements in ability and willingness to work by himself. More fluid reading. More confidence in schoolwork.

Melissa (Glendale, AZ)

We had an excellent experience at LearningRx with our daughter. Really helped her master concepts and curriculum that had been a struggle before. Brad is a top-notch instructor. The program is well designed and so effective. We have the seen benefits of the program carry forward for years. We are very grateful to have gotten this recommendation.

DS (Savage, MN)

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)

I can’t possibly say enough about LearningRx Columbus. They have been absolutely amazing with my son. He struggles with memory and overall processing information. He isn’t done with the program and I am already seeing such a huge difference. What’s also amazing is that he likes it. He does the program over zoom twice a week.

Melissa (Dublin, OH)

Our daughter started high school with little to no academic confidence. Day 1 she felt defeated, lost and unhappy. My husband and I made the right decision when we signed her up for LearningRx! We quickly figured out what was lacking in her learning environment; and we transferred her to a new school. She diligently worked 3 sessions a week with her LearningRx coach all while making time to catch up on new curriculum. To our amazement, her auditory processing accelerated; she picked up a new book to read on her own and often shared with us about her day!

Aimée (San Antonio NE, TX)

I started LearningRx knowing what it can do having been a past trainee and was specific about developing my short term and long-term memory and ability to process information faster. I graduated with a very noticeably improved mind. I can read my bank routing and remember it now. I recall people’s names, and I can hear a joke and remember it 4 hours later. I used to struggle with groups of information and now I can process it and make it work for me!

Jason (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

This is one of the best places in Colorado Springs that supports children and families. My experience was great working with Mr. Bryan and Ms. Marylyn. These are two of the kindest professionals I have encountered since been in Colorado. I would highly recommend speaking to Ms. Marylyn if you think this program may be of benefit to your family. They treat each individual with dignity and respect and more importantly, they are genuine there.

Dr. D (Chattanooga East, TN)

My daughter is still loving Learning Rx! We are seeing some great results! My daughter’s processing speed is increasing. She is developing better conversation skills. She is becoming more confident. This is totally worth money!

Heidi (Shoreview, MN)

Irene’s support and leadership has been crucial in the progress and success of clients. She has been very responsive of and receptive to parents’ feedback and suggestions and strives to include them in the planning of goals and objectives for purpose of trainings!

Hibroly (Reston, VA)

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)

We saw so many little changes throughout the journey towards his growth that we couldn’t have done it without this program.

Ram (Indianapolis NE, IN)

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