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

I recently took an assessment at LearningRx along with my son, and I was very impressed with the entire experience. The staff was professional, welcoming, and explained everything clearly. The environment was clean, organized, and made us feel comfortable from the start. My 15-year-old son has now started brain training sessions, and we’re already seeing how engaged and motivated he is. It’s been a great step for his development, and I appreciate the personalized attention and structure they provide.

Marissa (Houston Central, TX)

My son has dyslexia and was really struggling to read. He not only reads now but reads well and is devouring books! My son also struggles with memory issues among other things, and it’s been so fun to see his memory strengthened and his ability to tell us more things and share more details and even do more things on his own. His confidence absolutely soared after this experience!

Kellee (Woodbury, MN)

Highly recommend LearningRx! As someone who was in college struggling with college algebra, LearningRx really helped me out with learning it in a simpler way than any teacher could’ve done.

Spencer (Shreveport, LA)

The quality of life for our daughter has been greatly improved. We have seen huge life changing results and are deeply grateful for the people at Learning Rx! They truly care and it shows in everything they do.

Lorena (Chattanooga East, 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)

The staff are incredible. Didi has improved in her basic reading and problem-solving skills as well as her ability to focus. We appreciate all the center has done to help our girl succeed.

Jamie (Franklin, TN)

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)

At age six, my daughter couldn’t recognize all the letters of the alphabet—now she is reading! Austin and his team at LearningRx were encouraging, helpful, and flexible throughout the process. My daughter was excited to participate and proud of her progress. I’m truly impressed and would strongly encourage others to look into LearningRx. It has been life-changing for my child.

Christi (Pensacola, FL)

Micah’s ability to learn without ‘freezing’ is the biggest improvement. Micah’s abilities to spell, write, read, follow instruction have all drastically improved. Micah’s confidence has improved. His excitement of learning has skyrocketed.

Marilyn (Chandler, AZ)

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)

Very impressed with the rapid improvement in focus and motivation after just a month of sessions.

Cindy (Eagan, MN)

We are so thrilled with our sons results. He had a blast and now his focus and attention is so much better. Thank you

Meredith (Irvine, CA)

The speed at which Colt was able to improve his reading, to the point of not needing much help from us was remarkable.

Andria (Rogers, MN)

My son used to hate reading and now he willingly does it in his free time. He’s also slowed down and is more able to focus on tasks in front of him.

Reed (Appleton, WI)

This facility is top-notch. It’s amazing to learn about what you are truly capable of after brain training!!

Michelle (Alpharetta, GA)

LearningRX is making a huge difference for our son in so many ways. The beginning of his time in the program happened to coincide with the Covid-19 pandemic. I’d say if looking for a silver lining we had one here for sure. Highly recommend, they take great consideration when pairing learners with trainers and the follow up/check in meetings and overall communication is excellent!

Mindy (Charlottesville, VA)

LearningRx is truly a life-changing program. The trainers are supportive, encouraging, and genuinely invested in your success, making every session both productive and enjoyable. The brain training exercises are challenging in the best way—they strengthen skills like memory, focus, and processing speed that impact everyday life. Because of LearningRx, I feel more confident, capable, and prepared for school, work, and beyond.

Brooklin (Irvine, CA)

I like the importance placed upon reading. I have witnessed my son reading faster and comprehending much more of the information.

Tanicka (Coon Rapids, MN)

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)

I was very pleased with the service I received from LearningRX. My child was substantially delayed when we entered the program. After 150+ lessons my daughter was able to correct her deficiencies and more importantly the skills she learned will help her in the future. In addition, I must mention professionalism of the entire team through frequent check-in meetings/follow-ups about the progress child is making as well as inquiring about anything additional they can do.

Drazenka K. (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 has demonstrated an easy understanding in processing information so he can now resolve problems (homework) with ease and confidence.

Giselle (Chandler, AZ)

I highly recommend Learning Rx. My daughter has just completed the program and has made significant gains across the board. As a result of this, my daughter is completing her work in class and is retaining the information that she has read. The entire staff has been welcoming and encouraging to her. The biggest part is that this homebody has now become a social butterfly. I feel so confident that she will succeed as she goes off to college thanks to the skills she has gained as part of our training.

Kathy (Chattanooga East, TN)

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)

The programs at LearningRx are catered to your goals which allows for individually to improve and reach goals. I had the opportunity to work with multiple instructors during my time at LearningRx. I felt that each one brought something different and connected with differentially.

Laura (Indianapolis NE, IN)

My child is more confident in herself and school. She is not avoiding reading, she knows that she is capable and wants to continue to improve. She can focus easier and when she is told homework needs to get done, she gets it done. She is not running to use the bathroom as an excuse to avoid schoolwork.

Zaret (Glendale, AZ)

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)

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

Gina & Jeff (Fairfax, VA)

I have seen improved confidence, attitude, attention, and academic ability in reading and math.

Jill (Fort Collins, CO)

My daughter was struggling to read anything beyond basic CVC words at 8 years old. After diagnosing her specific issues, the folks at Learning Rx delivered their reading program to my daughter. In 8 months of lessons, my daughter demonstrated TWO YEARS of growth. I cannot recommend Michelle’s team highly enough. They have been professional, inspiring, and have worked hard to deliver what my child needed to excel. Her confidence is through the roof, and I will be eternally grateful.

J. B. (Chattanooga East, TN)

LearningRx has prepared our son to develop better cognitive skills such as his attention skills, processing speed, and auditory processing. It was a tremendous help and made a great impact. A turning point for our son! We are truly grateful for the program and the wonderful, caring teachers who have worked with our son! Thank you LearningRx!

Mrs. Soe (Texarkana, TX)

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)

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)

My son started Learning RX when he was 18. He knew he wasn’t ready to start college as having dyslexia and other learning challenges made processing large amounts of information very taxing. ..Ashley was incredibly supportive and encouraging. She was able to individualize the program to meet his specific needs. She went above and beyond our expectations!…It has been incredible to see him be able to focus and read for long periods of time and to really thrive.

Karen (Cary, NC)

I am certain that my brain works better now than it did even before I got sick. I am thrilled and appreciative. My children (ages 7 and 8) have also trained and have seen great results. If you have a child with ADHD or a child who is struggling to learn to read, training at LearningRx can be life-changing, even when other interventions fail.

Ellie (Charlottesville, VA)

Hearing the news that your daughter has dyslexia is quite frightening. As a parent all you see is your bright, beautiful, and perfect little girl. Your first thought is fear, but then you want to help. Reaching out to LearningRx was the best academic decision we could have ever made for her. They have the sweetest staff, and we were blessed with the best trainer. She has truly transformed my daughter to a reader. Her confidence level when reading has tripled. Through all of the whining and complaining, they pushed through.

Brittany (Many, LA)

The training really helped me and prepared me for college. I had a lot going on and she was able to work around my schedule and help me get through my course before I left for college. I am excited to start college and see how much this helped me improve in the classroom.

Emily (Atlanta-Buckhead, GA)

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 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)

The staff was the best. They were always helpful, caring and engaging. We have seen sustained focus during homework and better memory to assist with multi step math problems.

James (Reston, VA)

We have seen a tremendous improvement through LearningRx, including increased memory, processing and comprehension. The directors and instructor have been amazing to work with, and it’s been a great experience! Would highly recommend!

Joe (Richmond Hill, ON)

We are 4 months into my 10yr old daughter’s brain training. I could not be more grateful for this program. Her trainer Francesca is AMAZING she really took her time getting to know my daughter so she can train and encourage her well. I have been so impressed with everyone’s knowledge and communication…My daughter is already feeling more confident in school during both reading and math. I am so glad we found LearningRx!

Daniela (Charlottesville, VA)

The staff took a true interest in our son and developing a strategy to help him grow and succeed in life and his education.

Mandy (Fishers, IN)

Life-changing for my son and my family. He can verbalize his thoughts and understand what we are saying. Logan understands concepts at school and works hard to complete tasks.

Lindsey (Appleton, WI)

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)

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)

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)

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)

Math greatly improved. All your programs are really comprehensive. Your results and improvements are measurable. Super friendly and warm atmosphere, not coldly academic–it was a place our child wants to come to.

Angel (Eden Prairie, MN)

He plans ahead, he’s less reactive to adverse situations, less impulsive with decision making. He seems a lot more mature. And of course, he is reading voluntarily now!

Elizabeth (Huntsville, TX)

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