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!

I can’t say enough good things about LearningRx in Shoreview! My son has made incredible progress since starting their program. The trainers are not only highly skilled but also genuinely care about each child’s growth and success. The personalized brain training approach has helped boost his confidence, focus, and learning abilities in ways we never imagined. We’ve seen noticeable improvements in his reading, memory, and problem-solving skills.

Foo (Shoreview, MN)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Donesa and her team are phenomenal. The improvement we have seen in both of our children is amazing. Well worth the time and money.

SM (Shreveport, LA)

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)

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

Noor (Houston Central, TX)

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)

This is an awesome program, my daughter was diagnosed with dyslexia and LearningRx really helped her to improve in her reading and her self-esteem skyrocketed. Chloe’s behavior has gotten better in the classroom and her grades greatly improved. Donesa Walker and her staff are amazing. I would recommend this program if you wanted to see your child improve in the classroom.

Tammie (Shreveport, LA)

We saw a lot of improvement in Parker’s reading comprehension skills and improvements in memory and auditory processing.

Boyd (Irvine, CA)

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)

LearningRx has been a God sent blessing to us. They love each child here and breathe life into each student. They love and care, they have become like family. The amount of confidence my child has shown within himself, and his schoolwork makes me so proud of him! This has been by far the BEST experience ever! We are so grateful!

Ariel (Texarkana, TX)

LearningRx provided the missing link we would not have been able to get anywhere else, at least to my knowledge. I was a high school English teacher for 13 years, and I know exactly where he would have ended up without LearningRx. It’s impossible to say the impact this program has had on him, but we saw him improve in pretty much all aspects of his life including academics, athletics, and socially.

Dana (Appleton, WI)

I’m starting training myself (with my 12-year-old son and father) to see if the virtual version holds up—a trial is available. If you want real-world listening and thinking skills built with grit, nuance, and scientific grounding, this program is worth your time and money. It’s a game-changer.

Rae (Chattanooga, TN)

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

Madison (Houston Central TX)

What stood out the most for me in the program was the staff’s commitment and dedication to student success. I have never seen him so excited to do something related to academics, mostly because his confidence had been broken by test scores that did not reflect his effort. Now, he has the confidence to know he can achieve the results he desires.

Jamila (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

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)

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)

At home he is now willing to do his homework, where before he would have a tantrum every time. His school grades have made a noticeable improvement. At school his teacher has also noticed large improvements in his classroom behavior. His reading and spelling grades have improved.

Paul (Chandler, AZ)

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)

LearningRx in Shoreview is absolutely incredible. We are amazed at the progress our 8-year-old grandson has made since September. Focus, processing, memory functions and reading fluency have all been positively impacted. The staff is friendly and well trained. We couldn’t be more pleased with our experience.

Jeanne (Shoreview, MN)

Our daughter is much more confident in her reading and is willing to attack words. She genuinely enjoys reading now.

Deanna (Brooklyn Park, MN)

I saw a tremendous increase in my daughter’s confidence! She was always there to help, offer additional resources and even do some trainings. She was a huge advocate for my daughter!

Courtney (Highlands Ranch, CO)

My son used to not be able to multitask. Now he can listen to music while working and listen to our conversation in the next room all at the same time. My son used to not be able to remember a two-step direction. Now he can be doing a task and be interrupted and come back to that task, not only remembering exactly what he was doing but also his mood is stable and not frustrated.

Karen (Tysons, VA)

I’ve seen huge improvements because of the program and the investment of time I put in. The long-term benefits are well worth it! Mike did a fantastic job communicating and sharing in the progress made.

Matt (Fort Collins, CO)

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)

Individual attention, specific concepts discussed and addressed, identifiable progress. Willingness to take time to do hard tasks that don’t come easy, increased confidence in reading and writing.

Mark (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

The expert guidance and personalized attention I received from Kathy Miracle at LearningRx was exceptional. The comprehensive approach to brain training and comprehensive assessments they provided exceeded my expectations in every way.

Adam (Highlands Ranch, CO)

We have seen incredible improvements in both our kids with focus and attentiveness

Shannon (Chanhassen, MN)

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)

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

Charlie (Eagan, MN)

Kellen is an amazing trainer he truly cares about you as a student and your growth. It is also a very nice facility that is welcoming with very nice staff that makes you feel welcome.

Andrew (Shoreview, MN)

Gaining confidence and seeing the possibilities and benefits of learning even if you struggle.

Gina & Jeff (Fairfax, VA)

She is confident in what she can do. Her reading and writing skills have improved, and her vision of her future is very clear now.

Giovana (Huntsville, TX)

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)

When Katrina first came to LearningRx, we had a frustrated, almost angry daughter who was having a difficult time at school and receiving poor grades. To our delight, Katrina has made a transformation back into her true self in many ways. She’s happy again, speaking positively about her work, her performance, school, and herself in general. For the first time she wants to share what happened at school. She has shown such an attitude switch in many areas, we are thrilled.

Jane (Shreveport, LA)

Both of my boys when through brain training. Our goal was to fill in any educational gaps and improve their ACT scores. Both boys ended up in the 30s for their ACT. We love LearningRx Texarkana and would recommend this program to others!

Ms Miller (Texarkana, TX)

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)

LearningRx has helped our son focus better, pick up on things faster and has given him more confidence in himself and at school. Nicole was Tristin’s trainer, and she was amazing and Mike was super great as well. Always very friendly and responsive!

Chris (Fort Collins, 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)

Our daughter was really struggling and we were concerned that she may not move to the next grade in school. Not only has LearningRx given her the mental exercises to improve, but it has given her the tools that she can utilize in learning at home and at school that will allow her to be successful in her future. She has moved from a place of defeat and sometimes despair to one of being hopeful and having plans for her future. She has learned that she can do hard things.

Justin (Raleigh, NC)

I love being engaged with my trainer. My family feels I am thinking better and not as easily agitated.

Yvonne (Milwaukee-Brookfield WI)

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)

The entire LearningRx team and program made a tremendous impact on our daughter’s reading and processing speed. We loved working with all of the trainers and especially appreciated Ms. Gina’s dedication and care for our daughter’s growth and progress.

Nicole (Eden Prairie, MN)

My daughter has been a part of this program for over 3 months, and we’ve seen tremendous growth and development since she started. As a result of her training so far, she asserts herself in class more; she accomplished all A’s her first semester; and she won a class award for being a “top thinker”. LearningRx has given her skills to last a lifetime, but more than that, it’s made her a more confident individual who’s eager to learn.

Mandy (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

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)

LearningRx has helped our family in more ways than one. Austin and Karen go above and beyond to make sure everyone is on the same page. Great people with a great program. Definitely recommend.

One Source (Pensacola, FL)

I would highly recommend LearningRx Chattanooga. The staff are extremely helpful and friendly. The results that we received from brain training were outstanding. Wish we had done it sooner!

Crystal (Chattanooga, TN)

As Jack’s mom, (and an educator) I’ve seen significant growth since he began LearningRx. While he’s always been highly intelligent, he had ongoing struggles with auditory processing, reading fluency, spelling, and speech clarity. After completing the program, Jack’s gains have been remarkable—his enunciation has improved, his confidence in reading out loud has grown, and his spelling, though still a challenge, has noticeably improved even in casual settings like writing on a whiteboard.

Winona (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

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