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 daughter is excelling for the first time in her life. My daughter was not able to complete tasks, read, or spell. The people here at LearningRx have helped me to help her to be successful!

Tiffany (Huntsville, TX)

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)

Overall improvement of life and learning skills. Better memory, self-confidence and ability to follow thru and achieve success and routines.

Alicia (Fort Collins, CO)

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)

Helped our daughter in a host of ways, from learning and thinking skills, increased confidence and self-esteem, to auditory and visual processing improvements.

Michael (Colorado Springs, CO)

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)

Our son was struggling with reading comprehension, and this was affecting many subjects as he entered middle school. He would study for tests and work on homework for hours at night. The grades he received did not reflect the work he was putting in which led to much frustration. Tutoring and extra help at school did not seem to help. Once we met with Tiffany and she explained the LearningRx model and how it was different from tutoring, we felt it was exactly what our son needed. And wow…did we see fast results.

Valerie (Franklin, TN)

The team at LearningRx are truly experts in their field. They have been exceptional in working with our son and become like family. Our son’s reading, writing and reading comprehension have gone through the roof — thanks LearningRx!

Shannon (Woodbury, MN)

Will is now interested in reading on his own — he’s diving into books. It’s great to see him grow in this area, where he was not willing to do before. Will has grown in confidence and his self-esteem and is better able to deal with challenges when he’s faced with time.

Kelly (Chaska, MN)

Very helpful for children with learning differences. My son has gained confidence with his math skills and is actually proud of his work he brings home from school. He has not only gained academic confidence but also has gained a lot of confidence in his social life as well. He is not as reserved and shy and continues to be more happy all around. He has blossomed and is now finding the positives in all aspects of schooling and is happy to go now!

Stephanie (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

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)

We had our 11th grade son go to LearningRx because he was struggling with reading comprehension and listening comprehension. We were a bit worried that it would be too elementary as the other programs we looked into were. We were pleasantly surprised by the result and highly recommend it to anyone! Our son was able to make gains in all areas as well as gain much needed confidence to tackle any future challenge that comes his way!

Kellie (Woodbury, MN)

So very thankful for Robyn and Lauren. They worked with us every step and stumble. They provided extra support and encouragement when needed. We are thrilled with the changes in our daughter.

Julie N. (Chandler, AZ)

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)

LearningRx was our saving grace. I searched high and low for services like this and finally found them. My son was struggling so bad in school and was so far behind his peers. He not only lacked the educational ability, but he lacked confidence. For the last year and a half, he went here and they built his confidence beyond what I could ever imagine. After suffering an acquired brain injury, I never thought I’d hear my son read. But thanks to the wonderful staff at LearningRx he is now reading and excited to learn.

Stacey Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

Audrina has grown so much over the 6 months she had training! We are so grateful for everyone at LearningRx Fort Collins for helping our daughter achieve her goals for school. She is able to comprehend her new material, have a shining confidence, motivation to keep learning, better attitude. She is able to perform at a higher reading level then when she started.

Casey (Fort Collins, CO)

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)

Our daughter has ADHD and on meds that were helpful but she kept running into the same roadblocks academically: poor organization, not completing tasks, avoiding work…So I searched for help and found Learning RX. The training was slow going but improved steadily and I was noticing an improvement in her grades and her confidence. One year later she only made 1 C and is setting goals for her grades. She has far surpassed our expectations with training and we feel it is directly due to the training at Learning RX.

Issabel (Chattanooga East, TN)

LearningRx has not only been a game changer in our daughters schoolwork and grades it has also helped her be self-confident. She does not procrastinate on her work and her grades have improved tremendously. She ended her last semester of school with a 3.9 GPA.

Sara (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

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)

The improvements with our 14-year-old have been amazing. I believe every person will benefit from this program. It’s top notch.

Paula (Colorado Springs, CO)

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)

We saw significant improvement in our daughter’s reading ability and fluency and know that it was from the work she did during her sessions at LearningRx. Our daughter started LearningRx being unable to read. She could sound out CVC words but was unable to blend the sounds together to say the word. She is now able to sound out many words, blend them together, and even read words without having to sound them out. She is able to read short stories. She used to dislike going to school as she would get frustrated with being unable to do the work. She now enjoys school and has a great attitude about going.

Heather (Princeton, MN)

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)

A trajectory changing life decision for our son! This is not your typically learning center that “accepts” your learning disability and tries to “help” you. They change how your brain functions!

Marilyn H. (Chandler, AZ)

For two or three years I knew something wasn’t right. The school kept telling me that he was at grade level and that it was okay. But it wasn’t okay, because he would avoid reading. We came [to LearningRx] in September and thy confirmed he had an auditory processing problem. It feels like the pressure is off my shoulders.

L. Jakeman (Shreveport, LA)

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)

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)

The reason why I could succeed was that I was on ADHD medication, but the medication made me extremely depressed and enraged all of the time. When I stopped taking it, I was filled with great joy because of my newfound freedom. But something was still wrong. Without the medication, I forgot the first part of the sentence by the end of the second part of the sentence. My imagination never turned off, and despite going to school an hour early and tutoring for an hour after school, I barely passed with Cs. Then I enrolled in LearningRx. Within three months, I was on fire. I could concentrate, handle awkward social situations, find motivation, put my creative ideas in paper. I attacked school with newfound strength. Last year I was the slowest kid in the class, but this year I am one of the fastest and smartest.

Mark (Shreveport, LA)

My son has been attending LearningRx for just a month, and he loves it! He really enjoys the challenging games and looks forward to each session. His coach is very nice and has made a great connection with him. I can already see little improvements in his focus and engagement. My son usually resists new activities, but he’s been surprisingly enthusiastic about LearningRx.

Marcy (Eagan)

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)

We have had a wonderful experience here. There were measurable improvements, but more than that our son grew in confidence in his abilities.

Lauren (Indianapolis NE, IN)

The program trainers worked hard to challenge Deacon in such a way to have optimal growth in reading and comprehension. The center and brain training activities were engaging and kept Deacon in a place of wanting to continue with things that are very hard for him. He was cared for and he could tell he was liked and being championed each time he had a session. Deacon now has more confidence in reading.

Chuck (NWA South, AR)

He now has confidence to raise his hand to answer questions out loud in class & reads out loud when asked to at school & church. He is making good grades & is very proud of himself as we are all proud of him! He no longer hates school & is looking forward to being in Junior High. He will begin the LearningRx reading comprehension program this summer to help boost him even farther!

Susan (Shreveport, LA)

10 stand outs after 10 months with LearningRx! 1. No pressure to buy—worth checking into 2. Very flexible with schedule—great customer SERVICE 3. Diverse & creative materials & activities—never got bored or ‘stuck’ 4. Good authentic encouragers—they inspired me to ACHIEVE 5. Intentional, adaptive & personal assistance—not just a program 6. Hands on tools & success markers—inspired me to progress each session 7. Creative solutions, ideas, coaching –helped me OVERCOME real life obstacles 8. Great testing & tracking—real life improvements I saw in test results 9. Utilize legit longstanding science—proven training that WORKS! 10. Not a phony quick fix—hard work with great trainers & my damaged brain grew new routes!!!

Mat W. (Chandler, AZ)

My family and I are so pleased with the amazing training they have provided for our child. His reading skills have improved in speed and fluency. This training has enriched the life our son in all areas. He has a wonderful teacher, and looks forward to his training with her!

Robert (Chattanooga East, TN)

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)

I see her confidence level through the roof. She speaks about herself in a more positive light. She is catching onto new material quicker and does not get distracted as easily.

Erin (Appleton, WI)

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)

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)

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)

My child enjoyed the sessions with Emily very much. There were times when he was very tired after school, but he insisted on attending the training. He could feel the benefit of the brain training – paying attention to class and staying focused on homework, so he was motivated to go even when he was tired. Not only has his speed improved, but also the accuracy of the work itself. Thanks Emily and LearningRx!

IL (Richmond Hill, ON)

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)

My son has been coming to LearningRx for a few months and when he started, he was reading 1.5 AR books now he is reading 3.7 AR books. I can’t thank the teacher and program director enough for all the help with my son. We are super happy can’t wait for him to finish his program.

Alejandra (Irvine, CA)

My son has changed so much. Great grades, improved work ethic, and overall, at ease with school.

Mrs. Watkins (Texarkana, TX)

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 son was struggling with his grades and overall understanding of what he was learning at school. We tried a few tutoring programs, but we knew immediately that just a rote learning wouldn’t make long lasting changes and it’s something we can do at home too. After the first assessment at LearningRx, we knew that was what we were looking for. Shortly after we started the program, we saw a big jump in his attitude towards learning. He was motivated, willing to try over and over again and much more acceptant of what he was lacking.

Suki (Richmond Hill, ON)

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)

Learning Rx was an important game changer for my son. We see improvements in focus, critical reading and thinking, math processes, academic independence, and self confidence. I highly recommend Learning Rx.

Jackie de Laveaga (Chandler, AZ)

I already have recommended this program to everyone in earshot. My ability to engage my focus and actively switch between tasks is better than ever before. It is incredible how differently my brain is operating now.

William (Reston, VA)

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