Brain trainer and student working together on a cognitive training task

Training for Kids & Teens with Learning Disabilities

At LearningRx, we know that learning difficulties are closely tied to cognitive skills. Through brain training, we have helped students of all ages strengthen these skills and address the root cause of learning struggles. In addition to brain training for clients with ADHD, dyslexia, speech delays, and autism, we offer individualized programs for clients with other learning challenges.

LearningRx offers both in-person and online programs, making brain training easily accessible to learners.

My daughter had a known learning disability and had been on an IEP for years with the school. She simply did not understand the work and also could not remember the lessons. This made everything click for her.”

Personalized Training for Children with Learning Disabilities

LearningRx creates individualized programs for kids and adults with learning disorders and other learning differences.

We start by performing an assessment, which measures the performance of core learning skills. This gives you a detailed picture of learning skills for you or your child, and it can identify which skills are the root cause of learning difficulties.

By identifying which skills have the most room for improvement, we can target these skills in a personalized learning plan!

Brain Training or Tutoring for Learning Disabilities?

There’s an important distinction between brain training and tutoring.

Tutoring tends to focus on delivering information and accommodating each student. In many cases, tutors will find workarounds or accommodations for learning difficulties. This puts students in a position where they can only succeed with accommodations.

Brain training is focused on the root cause of learning difficulties. Our goal is to strengthen underlying learning and thinking skills. When students develop these skills, they can become more confident, more independent, and more successful learners!

Before you get started with brain training, we want to learn more about the challenges experienced by you or your child.

It’s easy to find out how LearningRx can help. In fact, you can get the answers you need this week.

Hear from our Students and Families

I continually recommend the program to friends and other homeschool families. The changes in my daughter were incredible across so many skills. My daughter can do math so much easier than she could before. She is also reading easier and faster. Most importantly, her confidence has increased.

Michelle (Tysons, VA)

This is a very good program, and I have learned a lot and I would recommend this to anyone.

Charlie (Eagan, MN)

I am a medical doctor and like to refer to LearningRx to get to the root causes of learning struggles. We have seen a lot of improvement in reading! Our daughter has met the benchmark so we decided to add extra hours to get her a little further. Our daughter pushed back a bit but her trainers were able to help her get over that phase.

Andrea (Alpharetta, GA)

After just a few weeks of training, my daughter has begun to change her attitude. She used to refuse to do things she did not like. Now, she tries her best to do things she does not enjoy and continues to pursue the things she loves. I am really happy to see this progress.

Parent (Cresskill, NJ)

When I first came to LearningRx I was not sure they could help me. I had not learned how to focus and I had real problems with math—all kinds. Then I began to see results of the training as did others around me. The most drastic results were noticed by my math tutor. She could not believe the focus and memory that I now had.

Annie (Shreveport, LA)

The Learning RX model and coaches have proved to be the missing link we have been hoping for to help close the gaps in our son’s cognitive performance. Not only is he making huge strides as a student after a few months of training, but his overall confidence has grown significantly. He recognizes the benefits of his hard work because he’s experienced how brain training is enhancing all aspects of his life. We are thrilled with his progress and so thankful we found this life changing opportunity for our son.

Brian & Bonnie (Franklin, TN)

Ana (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

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)

It has changed the way we interact with our children. From homeschooling, to discipline, it’s made a difference in how we work together as a family. I highly recommend! Each one of our kids have grown in effective communication and discipline.

Amanda (Pensacola, FL)

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)

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)

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

Chris (Pine River, MN)

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

Loreal (Indianapolis NE, IN)

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

Andrew (Eagan, MN)

Now I can finally read and sound out words! I can now read because of Mrs. Donesa and the LearningRx program! Before LearningRx, I thought I was just dumb! Some kids made fun of me because I could not read our sound out words. I did not like myself very much. Now I do! I can now participate in classes at school and church and not be embarrassed or afraid to read out loud or give answers like the other students. I am finally making decent grades! Now my mom cries when I read to her because I can read!

Tanner (Shongaloo, 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)

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)

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)

Wow, everyone who works here appears to love what they do, and the kids sense it! We have just begun our journey here, but I am thrilled to have learned the areas of potential growth for my children and to have been provided with the tools proven to help them reach their goals

Jennifer (Eden Prairie, MN)

Jacci and her team have done wonders for our daughter! She’s gained confidence, learned tools to help her with math problems, and her reading skills have improved by leaps and bounds!

SC (Appleton, WI)

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)

My daughter had an exceptional experience with LearningRx. Both my daughter’s teachers and we, her parents, observed a remarkable enhancement in her processing speed and memory. The struggle she previously encountered with retaining information swiftly has now become a thing of the past, a stark contrast from what we witnessed during her first-grade year.

Shayda (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

This is a wonderful program with excellent trainers who are knowledgeable and supportive in helping each child reach his/her goals. Our daughter has improved in all areas of comprehension, retention and overall self-confidence as a result of completing this program.

Ayana (Chattanooga East, TN)

Our son and us were fortunate to have found LearningRx to help him with so many important aspects of his everyday life. He eagerly attended 107 brain training sessions that he gave his best effort, energy and determination to get the most out of every minute he was there. Our son has seen so many improvements, I can’t list them all here, but I’ll highlight a few of the most important ones – many around improvements to his safety. His ability to focus, concentrate and speed processing could not be more different than when he started.

John (Woodbury, MN)

My went through the program and it helped him a great deal at school and many other aspects of his life.

Elizabeth (Eagan, MN)

We reached out to LearningRX when our son was about to enter the fifth grade. There had been many struggles through traditional public school with reading and keeping up with math facts and focus in general…when we went to LearningRX they helped us understand that it was a processing skill that was needing to be relearned. We have been with LearningRX for several months now and have seen a lot of change in our son with confidence to face new things.

Lindsey (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

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

Chris (Chattanooga, TN)

Jennifer was excellent, providing clear guidance to me on how things would work. She was always available to answer any questions. Overall, the finance process was very smooth. I will highly recommend it to all kids; it will be very beneficial for their brain growth.

Saheb (Raleigh, NC)

Impressive results and an incredibly caring staff who are very focused on our child’s development. Really pleased with the results!

CM (Tysons, VA)

Seeing his growth this year in homeschool of what he can read and is willing to try (not overwhelmed by the amount of words on the page) has been wonderful. Incredible growth.

Melissa (Reston, 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)

My son was reluctant to sign up, but became more engaged once he started making progress. Further along in Learning RX, he became a self starter with his school work and could stay on task for longer periods of time with his improved focus, and ability to tackle more difficult material.

Lee Anne (Charlottesville, VA)

Making the decision to enroll my son in the program was the best choice I could have made. Since completing it, he has become more confident, focused, and engaged. He is also showing greater independence. I can’t thank LearningRx enough for reigniting my son’s passion for learning!

Deidre (Tysons, VA)

The amazing one-on-one training was so helpful in transforming my brain. I feel like my trainer Indira really cared about my development and was with me every step of the way. Increased confidence, better memory, faster thought, improved speaking and spelling skills.

Alyse (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

We initially tried a going to a learning/tutoring type center. But when the administer expressed doubts about my child’s ability to comprehend tasks directions and to work independently, I began searching for a program that would aid comprehension. This led to my internet search and in me finding LearningRx. It was a blessing and miracle, very early on, to see my child perform multi-step commands without additional prompts by me. Now, we have seen a true love of writing after practice with the Learning Rx trainer.

Ericka (Raleigh, NC)

Helped our daughter in a host of ways, from learning and thinking skills, increased confidence and self-esteem, to auditory and visual processing improvements.

Michael (Colorado Springs, CO)

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)

We’ve had an incredible experience with LearningRx in Peoria! My nephew has made huge progress, and one of the most noticeable changes has been how much less time he now spends on homework. What used to take hours is now done in a fraction of the time—and with far less frustration. Lara was especially wonderful to work with—she made the whole process smooth and supportive from day one. We’re so grateful for the care and attention he received. Highly recommend!

Kimberly (Glendale, AZ)

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

Aaron (Chattanooga, TN)

LearningRX has been a blessing to my son. JR had a sports related concussion in March of 2019. He was in the 8th grade and had forgotten simple things in life. I didn’t know how he would finish out his 8th grade year…I came across LearningRX and after the first week or two he could tell that his memory getting better. My son has gained confidence, his memory, and the stamina to work for longer periods of time. JR finished his 8th grade year with straight A’s and was accepted in to the Information and Technology program at high school. A huge thank you to LearnRX and Mr Richard!!!

Genita (Colorado Springs, CO)

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)

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

Cindy (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

Greater ability to pay attention, work through hard things, speed in processing thoughts.

Mary (Eden Prairie, MN)

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)

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)

Our experience with Jacci and her team at LearningRx was fantastic! Our daughter started the program the summer before 3rd grade with goals to improve her reading fluency and math concepts…As she worked through the LearningRx program, her self-confidence and processing speed drastically improved, she no longer needed “special help” at school and she got A’s in reading and math! The encouragement and support from the staff was incredible! Thank you to Jacci, Olivia, and the entire team! We are absolutely thrilled with our daughter’s results and are forever grateful!

Sarah (Appleton, WI)

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