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

My sons processing skills, ability to respond to questions and his engagement in classes at school improved throughout his time with LearningRx.

Rachel (Appleton, WI)

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)

Improved focus, memory and multitasking. Friendly trainers that take interest in helping your child grow.

Jodi (San Antonio, NE, TX)

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)

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)

Improvement in learning skills, confidence, and excelling in school.

Andrew (Indianapolis NE, IN)

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)

LearningRx introduced me to the term “neuroplasticity,” and I have seen its effects in both of my sons…Not only did their grades improve at the time, but in the years since then, they have continued to benefit from the skills they developed from their LearningRx training. The improved ability to focus is one such skill…My other son benefitted especially in the area of math skills, and he is still able to mentally perform math calculations with amazing speed.

Linz (Charlottesville, VA)

Amazed by their expertise and guidance, my kid is more focused at school and at home and better thought process along the way. Highly recommended.

Jae S. (Chandler, AZ)

Our son has improved his reading, writing and math over the course of the last 6 months with brain training. Before we started working with LearningRx our son was very resistant to working on improving in these areas because he lacked the confidence in his skills. We now see him sharing his accomplishments with others, and more willing to work independently and receive help when needed. We could not be happier with the results of brain training.

Amanda (Pensacola, FL)

Amazing! The people here actually care, are extremely knowledgeable and have helped my daughter gain the confidence and tools she needs to soar!

Ross (Woodbury, MN)

Learning Rx is amazing and helped my daughter tremendously with her confidence and study skills. I highly recommend!

Beth (Chattanooga, TN)

Having ADHD and PTSD, I was on medication and did not like the side effects. The ability to retrain my brain and gain new skills is amazing.

Schotzie (Appleton, WI)

Fantastic staff and program. Really helped my child on her ability to do schoolwork. This year she has been spending about half as much time on assignments and her memorization is largely improved.

Kathryn (Fort Collins, CO)

The trainers really care about the students, and they push each student to reach the next goal. The training is very motivating, and it has helped my kids in levels of reading, motivation and confidence.

Julie (Woodbury, MN)

My daughter loves working with Jacci and is improving each time we have a session!

Christine (Appleton, WI)

LearningRx has helped me grow in my career by sharpening different cognitive areas. I loved my trainer, Tracey, who made the program fun and enjoyable.

Allison (Colorado Springs, CO)

My son had a TBI (due to an AVM) at the age of 19. We were told about LearningRx and that they were very successful with TBI patients. We attended for 8 months. It was not an easy journey for him, but with his trainer, Will, Dargan and the staff at LearningRX he might not have possibly accomplished what he has done in the past 10 years. Since then he has graduated with an Associate Degree, Bachelor Degree, assistant coach/head coach of his middle school since 2014. Happily married, two beautiful boys, and just passed his physical trainer test.

Marianne (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

The dedicated and amazing team provided exceptional guidance and one-on-one training that truly made a difference. Not only has my son gained confidence, but he is also enjoying school more and performing better in his studies. The personalized approach and supportive environment made learning enjoyable and engaging for him. I highly recommend this program to any parent looking to make a positive change in their child’s educational journey.

Liezl (Katy, TX)

His growth has extended beyond academics. His youth director even commented on his improved focus and ability to take detailed notes during lessons. He now contributes thoughtfully in group discussions and isn’t afraid to raise his hand and share insights.

Jessica (Charlottesville, VA)

After he completed the program the first year, his reading significantly improved along with his word attack. He loves to read and this really helped his confidence. I would highly recommend this program for anyone struggling with reading comprehension and math skills, especially if you tried traditional tutoring. This is not a tutoring program, it is building a foundation on how to process skills in order to perform well in all areas of life including school. If you are like us that tried everything and nothing has worked, I would recommend giving LearningRx/Doug Mapp a call and let him help!

Brian (Knoxville, TN)

They were thorough and our child’s improvement speaks for itself. His confidence in reading in front of his class, his memory and problem-solving skills improved.

Amanda (Raleigh, NC)

We were incredibly happy with the results after the completion of his training. Jeri and Kai were very attentive to our son’s development and continually kept us updated on his progress.

Sarah (Richmond Hill, ON)

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)

Wow, thank you Learning RX! We have been amazed at the fantastic results of your Brain Training program for our 13 year old daughter. Her grades & confidence in learning & herself have grown remarkably in just a short amount of time working with Learning RX. This is an excellent program and we highly recommend it!

Jim (Charlottesville, VA)

LearningRx has a positive and fun environment that makes learning fun for my 8-year-old who needs help with reading. All the staff are friendly and care about each individual child. In just a few short months I have seen a more positive attitude and more self confidence in my son.

Nicole (San Antonio NE, TX)

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)

We are so thrilled to have found LearningRX. Halfway through our brain training program, the results have been noticed by my child’s teacher already. They helped me understand the areas that they were weaker and targeted them for improvement in a fun and challenging environment.

Kristin (Tysons, VA)

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)

From day 1 to the last day training, Trenton’s ability to comprehend and retain any material that’s presented to him has greatly improved and has translated into better grades on his report card. Not only has his comprehension and retention improved, but his confidence has also improved because of LearningRx. It has been great experience with LearningRx, and we would recommend this program to any parent whose child needs that extra helping hand.

Alanna (Stonewall, LA)

I blamed ADHD for a lot of my problems and I came to LearningRX to help my ADHD so I could enact the changes I wanted to see. Mike paired me with a great trainer. Landon and I worked excellently together and were a great fit. Landon was professional, on task, focused, and flexible.

Dylan (Fort Collins, Colorado)

I’ve worked with Kathi for the last couple of years and she is passionate about what she does it does it very well. She is changing lives every day! Go see her at LearningRx.

Edward (Highlands Ranch, CO)

LearningRx has made such a difference in the lives of my children. My oldest daughter wanted to give high school a try (she is homeschooled). She was a bit nervous because she thought that she might not be able to keep pace with the other students due to her dyslexia. LearningRx gave her the confidence to try. Her first semester in high school she was on the honor roll. LearningRx, their tools and strategies WORK!

Carmel (Dublin, OH)

My daughter’s reading and math ability improved greatly while my daughter was this is program. Trainers are knowledgeable, patient, professional and flexible.

Lara (Charlottesville, VA)

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)

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)

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)

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)

I feel his reading comprehension has improved a lot and that was a big struggle coming into the program.

Cari (Savage, 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)

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 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)

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)

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)

The big thing for us is responsiveness and taking the time to clearly respond. The director was always accessible, and as accommodating as needed. When we needed to make changes, she also took action. I think there were some unforeseen staffing challenges the director has to respond to, and I thought Vincent didn’t really lose too much of a connection when the changes were made.

Danielle (The Woodlands, TX)

At LearningRx, the true difference was made by the teachers. Their dedication, patience, and skill in navigating exactly what [my daughter] needed created a learning environment where she could truly thrive. They didn’t just follow a program—they adapted, encouraged, and met her where she was, guiding her through challenges with understanding and consistency. Their ability to personalize her learning journey not only built her skills but also gave her confidence and resilience.

Mar (Franklin, TN)

His trainer was fantastic and they were very flexible with scheduling. He can do math so much faster and easier. He listens and follows directions better and is able to stay on task with fewer reminders.

Katherine (Tysons, VA)

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)

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)

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