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.

Hear from our Students and Families

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)

Our experience in LearningRx has been the best decision we ever made. The trainers are the best and the passion they put into it made a difference in my child’s life. We have seen so much improvement on our son that from day one we knew we were at the right place to starting to read and now able to even read and text back to people when before he was using voice command. He grew self-esteem and more.

Cyndy (Sugar Land, TX)

I am so happy with my experience at LearningRx! My son is able to do work with more confidence. He improved at math and he is learning math faster which I am so happy about. Also he became more willing to learn at home.

Naeem (Sugar Land, 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)

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)

LearningRx was instrumental in helping my son build skills to cope with ADHD. The trainer and the staff care about the child and that is extremely important for the success of any training program. LearningRx is truly a milestone in my son’s life, and we will come back for the coaching and mentoring programs as he progresses in his academic life.

Joel (Charlottesville, VA)

LearningRx provided great care and confidence for my son who had specific areas of weakness in processing speeds and over all higher thinking. Sandy was incredibly helpful, patient, insightful and flexible while we worked through my son’s program.

Natalie (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

We love LearningRx, everyone was so wonderful and nice and helped my son so much to achieve greater goals for his future and now. John did an awesome job with my son. He was so wonderful and help motivate him and boost his confidence 100% and now he is doing so much better at reading.

Dezaray (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

My daughter was paired with the perfect coach for her personality, and she grew tremendously where her skills lacked. Amelia’s grades went from C’s, D’s and F’s to A’s and B’s! She’s more confident and doesn’t shy away from reading. Plus, she loves school again.

Kristen (Pensacola, FL)

I have seen my child grow not just academically, but also in believing in her own abilities to problem-solving. The team of professionals at this place truly understands the needs of each student and works tirelessly to help them excel in their cognitive skills. The positive impact LearningRx has had on my family is truly invaluable. Without a doubt LearningRx has my highest recommendation.

Sara (Colorado Springs, CO)

LearningRx truly understands many of the nuanced aspects of helping a child grow their brain to facilitate better learning in school.

Mellissa (Maple Grove, MN)

Extremely great program! I would definitely recommend. I had two of my sons go through it and they improved academically and socially.

Jenny-Rae (Brookfield, WI)

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

Chris (Chattanooga, TN)

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)

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)

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)

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

Madison (Houston Central TX)

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

Giselle (Chandler, AZ)

Hazel started out unwilling to even try when it came to learning. Now, after completing her program at LearningRx she happily completes her homework and comes home from school excited to tell me all about what she learned! Not only have her academic skills improved but her self confidence and her willingness to TRY something new has improved as well.

Kayla (Fort Collins, CO)

Both children continued to make huge gains in working memory, retention, auditory and visual processing, and more! Aside from the program itself, Michelle and the staff at LearningRx Chattanooga are incredible to work with. My children felt loved and supported through the program and the staff were always available to answer questions or provide tailored advice for our family. I can’t recommend LearningRx Chattanooga enough!

Jordan (Chattanooga, TN)

The gains my son made in this program have truly improved his school career. My son has more confidence in school and in his work, he’s reading faster, and more willing to read at home.

Kathleen (River Valley, AR)

We are so happy with our daughters’ results, truly life changing for her!

Ayla (Huntsville, TX)

He does seem to get his work done quicker and more independently – depending on the subject. He is also writing more notes in class. He is not complaining anymore about reading although he still struggles with answering questions about what he read. His frustration level has improved some as well as persevering.

Melanie (Glendale, AZ)

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)

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)

LearningRx was a huge help for my daughter. She’s much more confident in math and less likely to give up when facing challenging problems. Her working memory has improved as a whole and she’s more motivated to finish her schoolwork. She really enjoyed working with Lara and I’m grateful for the positive experience overall! I would definitely recommend LearningRx.

Sonia (Glendale, AZ)

LearningRx has been amazing for my 1st Grader! I have watched him gain confidence in learning subjects that were challenging to him and have also seen an increase in his academic test scores since his training began in Chattanooga. Everyone has been amazing to work with, and so welcoming and kind. Excited to see my son’s future progress. Thank you LearningRx – Chattanooga!

Cate (Chattanooga, TN)

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)

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)

The service is amazing and she loved it here. She is now a more confident reader and loves to read and isn’t scared of the hard or challenging words.

Alli (Irvine, CA)

LearningRX was an enlightening experience for my children. Highly recommend the Eagan location. We worked with Josh, Jacob, and Lily who were fabulous!

Nadyia (Eagan, MN)

LearningRx was a wonderful academic support for our daughter. The environment was fun, motivating and productive. We are so grateful for this resource in our community!

Lindsey (Colorado Springs, 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)

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)

I can think through multiple thoughts easier and make decisions quicker.

Samuel (Irvine, CA)

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)

My college age daughter completed LearningRx this year. Olivia her brain trainer was absolutely amazing! We were so pleased with her progress and wished we would have known about this earlier in her life!

Kristen (Shoreview, MN)

Ms. Loftus and her entire team were absolutely wonderful to work with! After training with them, my son is now thriving at school, able to focus better, and his confidence levels have skyrocketed!

May (Tysons, VA)

Since starting LearningRx, my children have gained confidence within themselves as well as their schoolwork. Their grades have improved, and schoolwork (homework) is not dreadful task like before. My children have also become more responsible. Not only at school, but at home as well,

Ms Ward (Texarkana, TX)

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)

Michael’s confidence has increased and that is priceless. He is more content because he knows he can handle whatever is thrown his way. Michael’s self-esteem and confidence has grown, and this was so important to me. His attitude has changed from giving up before he has even started to sitting down and tackling the task!

Ryan (Tysons, VA)

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)

LearningRx is a great place to train the brain skills of your kids and yourself. The learning skills, the self-esteem and self-confidence building is great. The highly educated and experienced teachers as well as are very helpful and the friendly staff are superb. It is a great place, and I highly recommend. it.

Abdi (Shoreview, MN)

My daughter completed this program and we have seen incredible improvements in confidence and even end of year state testing results! We are glad we made the investment in this program.

Crystal (Lacy, WA)

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)

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)

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)

Ava has improved so much of her memory and processing skills thanks to LearningRx! She is thrilled with how much faster she is able to complete her homework and understand her lessons and literature. Her confidence in both school and social situations have grown tremendously!

Brandi & Nicholas (Indianapolis NE, IN)

My son has Aspergers and was really hard for him to tell me what happen at school or tell me anything. In the second month I started to notice he was talking more, my sister noticed the same and even one teacher told me this boy is different he is talking way more. This is the main progress that I appreciate about this program, he gained more confidence too.

Eyvis (Appleton, WI)

Kayson is more confident with his schoolwork and baseball. He is become a better communicator. And his scores on homework has consistently become better. Grateful for what LearningRx training has done for both of our children.

Eros (Tysons, VA)

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