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

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)

Following a hospital stay for long Covid, I became aware that LearningRx was offering a program to help clients that had experienced this disease. The program was creative, and I actually enjoyed the cognitive challenge of each session as I advanced thru the skills . Following this program I feel that I am now much more productive than I use to be and it’s easier to adjust to changes in routines.

Judith (Charlottesville, VA)

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 son got great results, and he enjoyed it. They were always flexible and got the best out of him. He is processing faster, and his speech skills have improved.

Ms Holland (Texarkana, TX)

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)

I recommend LearningRx for anyone who has cognitive problems and can recognize it. They have proven over and over again that their intense brain training can help both children (their main group of clients) and adults. I had/have a problem with my vision and cognitive reasoning that they recognized and then had training solutions in my classes! AMAZING!

Harry (Staunton-Harrisonburg, 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)

The confidence he has gained, even during the difficult parts. Everybody is always so positive and uplifting. He is better at sticking to the difficult parts and can himself see his own improvements. Logan has improved almost 2 full grade levels in reading. He has more stamina for reading. He is retaining math information better, and knows he is now ‘really good’ at math.

Jessica (Pensacola, FL)

The results with my son have exceeded all expectations!!! Kevin and Jill are the most dedicated, caring and encouraging team my son has ever worked with. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Holly (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

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)

Friendly staff and knowledgeable tutors made my experience at LearningRX Houston top-notch. My child showed significant improvement in a short time!

Vimsoa (Houston, TX)

LearningRx has been a transformative experience for my son. We chose it because we wanted to strengthen his cognitive skills, not just his academic performance. From the very first session, I noticed his confidence growing. The personalized, one-on-one approach helped target areas like attention, memory, and processing speed – skills that are often the root of learning challenges. His progress has been remarkable.

Karen (Shreveport, LA)

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)

The LearningRx trainers were great at keeping her challenged for enhancement. We were applying for private schools and wanted our daughter to have the strongest skills. There was great improvement with working memory and attention.

Bimal (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

We are grateful for the hard work and patience of Isabella’s trainer, as well as for all the staff who helped Isabella succeed. She showed an amazing growth academically and personally and we couldn’t be more proud and happy for that!!

Blanca (Shreveport, LA)

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)

This experience has been beyond my expectations. The relationship my son had with his brain trainer and how she gave space for him to be himself was the best part for me. I loved the lived experience of watching him become a stronger version of himself!

Jennifer (Chattanooga East, TN)

Ana (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

Everyone went above and beyond to meet Collin’s unique needs or to help us find someone who could. Greatly appreciated! Improvements in English grades, increased confidence, and improved in other areas like band. Understands information more quickly.

Krista (San Antonio NE, TX)

My son is a 9th grader and has had a great experience at LearningRx. He enjoys the “brain games” that are a part of the learning process. Julie and Josh have been great to work with! We are excited to see the progress that he makes once he finishes the program.

Amber (Eagan, MN)

My child is more confident in his ability to succeed. He is more willing to try new things. He has a better sense of self control, and he has made significant improvements on every report card. He has learned that working hard is more important than perfection!

Durelle (Chattanooga, TN)

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)

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)

They have been easy to work with and have been accommodating with schedule changes. The issues being addressed concerning our son are showing signs of improvement.

Greg (Houston Central, TX)

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)

Our son can focus more, and his writing in school has greatly improved from when he started. Now he writes stories with complex ideas, and it blows me away.

Kimberley (Irvine, CA)

From our first conversations with LearningRx staff, the assessment process, starting our training schedule to now where we have established a routine, we have felt well informed and cared for by the staff. We receive frequent progress check ins and can observe training sessions anytime we like. The LearningRx staff do a great job with the range of diverse learners and seem to find ways to keep them all engaged. We would definitely recommend the Shoreview location to any family who does not know where to turn next to support their child’s educational roadblocks.

Anna (Shoreview, MN)

I can not thank Michelle enough for all of your help with my son! I was extremely nervous about my son starting middle school. He did such an amazing job navigating around zoom. He is self-starting, helping his classmates and feeling confident. If it wasn’t for Learning RX I feel his new way of learning would have a much different outcome.

Cindy (Charlottesville, VA)

My daughter is more confident and independent. She interrupts less and engages in conversation more seamlessly with people. She sits much more still in her chair, rather than fidgeting or always bringing her knees up to the table. She has improved time management skills and can follow through with several tasks at a time.

Megan (NWA South, AR)

LearningRx has be amazing! We started this because I wanted my son to feel more confident about himself and his schoolwork especially math and not only is he doing better at math and all subjects he is more confident than he has ever been. To see him come home and say “Mom I love math now, it’s easier and I can do it. I am so proud of myself” It just blows me away. It actually brings tears to my eyes, because as a mom you want the best for your child and Lori and Mrs. Regina and the whole LearningRx has been a blessing to my son and our entire family!! EVERYONE SHOULD TRY THEM OUT!!

Ariel (Texarkana, TX)

Before starting this program, I struggled with auditory processing, which often made communication and focus more challenging. Now, not only has my auditory processing improved dramatically, but my productivity has skyrocketed, my memory is sharper, and my overall cognitive abilities have reached new heights.

Linzy (Highlands Ranch, CO)

When you see the changes in your child from the beginning to the end, it is very rewarding. Our son was very reluctant at the beginning of training but started to show joy in sharing the activities he was working on. We have seen our son be able to sit for longer periods of time when completing tasks. His attention span has lengthened which has improved his work at school.

Matt (Reston, VA)

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)

My daughter shows a dramatic improvement in reading comprehension, memory, concentration, and confidence. She takes initiative to read for fun now. Her memory is also significantly improved. She’s more confident reading, writing, and crunching numbers. And she’s happier and more confident and I don’t know what better metric I personally need as a father.

Chris (Charlottesville, VA)

Although I’m an adult, I greatly benefit from my training at LearningRx! After 6 months of training 3 days a week, I’m noticing I’m starting to calculate numbers in my head, which is huge since I was diagnosed with dyscalculia in my early 20’s! I’m even finding myself visualizing my next turn when driving, something I could never do before my training! LearningRx is helpful for all ages! I only wish I found them sooner!

Miranda (Reston, VA)

I can comprehend what I read better, and my writing skills have generally improved (whether it is more reflective or academic writing). I have also noticed improvements in my overall memory. The activities completed each session were very helpful in my improvement.

Aditi (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

My daughter was really struggling to read. Letter recognition and phonetics were so hard for her to remember. She was also struggling to stay focused for an extended period of time as well. After attending LearningRx for the past few months, we have seen drastic changes. Not only does she now know her letters and sounds. She’s READING! This program has helped her confidence in school. She is able to do seat work with little to no guidance from her teacher.

Shauron (San Antonio NE, TX)

Our son came into the program while in grade 1 with significant anxiety when it came to his class performance. This was most striking when it came to reading. There were concerns with ADHD and possibly dyslexia. He is listening better and his reading has taken huge strides forward. You can see how this has improved his confidence.

Jodi (Chandler, AZ)

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

Andrew (Eagan, MN)

My daughter has been doing brain training with Learning Rx for maybe a month and a half now, and to begin with, the assessment alone is a game-changer and gave us clarity regarding some issues we were having with my daughter’s homeschool performance. I have already seen improvement in her reading and comprehension and in her willingness to put forth effort in new tasks. We can’t wait to see what all our amazing girl is capable of at the end of the program.

Dana (Chattanooga East, TN)

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)

I was very pleased that my son was able to pay attention better this first term of school. The staff and director were always friendly and willing to share their experience for other things that could help carry over to school and home.

Lauren (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

Caleb worked really well with our son. He was very encouraging throughout all aspects of the training. He made our son feel like he can achieve anything and that it is ok to make a mistake. He was patient and kind and also helped during those difficult days at school.

Stephanie (Woodbury, MN)

What an amazing experience! Our child (8) with ADHD and likely dyslexia had difficulty picking up reading/spelling/language before this program. He is now on track for his age and grade for reading but his memory, focus, and brain stamina have all exponentially expanded. Would highly recommend.

Terry C. (Charlottesville, VA)

Our son was barely reading in 4th grade and now he is reading confidently and enjoying it. He volunteers to read regularly and there has been a huge change in his attitude as well because he is confident in his reading! If you are on the fence just do it! It’s a lot but so worth it!

Brenda (Charlottesville, VA)

His willingness to dive into things he doesn’t know or understand has went from zero to 100! Without the confidence to do this, learning and development were nearly impossible. He has significantly increased his endurance for learning as well. We can’t wait to see how he continues to grow!

Jill (Indianapolis NE, IN)

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)

Our experience at Learning RX was Great! The staff were very knowledgeable and supportive. So glad we signed up for the program. [Our son] made a huge amount of improvement.

K.S. (Chattanooga, TN)

For us it’s not about improving his grade so much as his toolbox to be independent and in control of his studies and being inspired to do his best. Christen is such a wonderful guide for him – funny, motivating and kind. She has figured out his personality and designs the program to suit him. He willingly tears himself from his video games to come to class which is no small thing. We are really happy we found LearningRx and find it worth every penny.

Sarah (Tysons, VA)

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