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

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)

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)

Loved training, feel more organized and thoughts are more clear and strategic.

Yukako (Irvine, CA)

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)

We are very happy with the progress our daughter has achieved while at Learning RX and we were very impressed by the quality of our teachers!

Christy (Raleigh, NC)

Overall, his reading ability improved, and his confidence level has greatly improved! I thought his trainer did an exceptional job with him and he really liked working with her! Overall, I am happy with his growth and look forward to him applying what he learned.

Jay (Maple Grove, MN)

Improvements in working memory, confidence, and computing skills. I have seen improvements specifically at work with ability to memorize orders for a period of time. I am excited to see what impacts I see as I begin to take classes this coming semester.

Clara (Minnetonka, MN)

Development of confidence in learning and perseverance. During the process there was always the concern of preserving confidence and self-esteem while learning and meeting new challenges. The staff were always patient, helpful, and kind.

Jessika (Raleigh, NC)

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)

I have loved being enrolled in LearningRx! My daughter has grown leaps and bounds in many different abilities. I am so thankful for our time here and will recommend any family to participate!

Katie (Chattanooga East, TN)

My 15-year old was struggling with getting school work done and for the first time lacked confidence that he could do it. Middle school had been effortless but remote high school was proving to be a problem. Specifically he was having problems reading and retaining the story and meaning of the Odyssey. The journey through LearningRX not only worked on his learning skills but also on the mindset that my son can push through the hard work and do things he did not think he could. The confidence he got from the program is priceless.

Rachel (Charlottesville, VA)

The improvement that was shown from the start has been absolutely unbelievable! His confidence and fluency in reading that he has shown since the beginning has been outstanding and we are so impressed with everything!

Lauren (Pensacola, FL)

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)

My son started LearningRx when he was 16 and my biggest regret in parenting him is that I didn’t find this place sooner! It has completely improved every aspect of his life! From simple things like forgetfulness in daily life tasks, walking into a room and forgetting why you were going in there in the first place. Schoolwork is so much easier as he relearned how to read a different way and learned memory tools and rewired his brain to optimize it.

Sara (Woodbury, MN)

I highly recommend this program for any child facing academic challenges. The staff was highly professional and accommodating, working around our schedule to provide the most convenient time slots. Their genuine concern and dedication to student success were evident throughout. They truly care about their students’ progress and well-being.

Tisha (Shreveport, LA)

[My son] has taken on the role of student as his personal responsibility and shown success as an A/B/C student. Prior to LearningRx, passing grades were a struggle in some subject areas. To quote my son upon recently finishing an 8-month journey with Learning RX, so reluctant to participate at the outset…“I have improved at everything we have been working on, day in and day out: reading, numbers, focus, remembering…everything. I feel like the program was totally worth it.” I can’t say enough about the program and would recommend it to anyone whose child is struggling with ADHD.

Tonia (Charlottesville, VA)

I continually recommend the program to friends and other homeschool families. The changes in my daughter were incredible across so many skills. My daughter can do math so much easier than she could before. She is also reading easier and faster. Most importantly, her confidence has increased.

Michelle (Tysons, VA)

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)

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)

Wonderful staff! Friendly and safe environment. My son has grown so much over the past year being with Learning RX.

Aaron (Chattanooga, TN)

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 Learning Rx.

Sonia (Glendale, AZ)

Since completing my program, I have seen great improvement in my memory, comprehension, and processing speed. LearningRx made my completion of high school and transition to college a lot smoother. I don’t have to work so hard to understand things anymore. I am able to do things more quickly and also fully understand each step.

Kelsi, (Appleton, WI)

LearningRx has truly changed our daughter’s life. She used to struggle with reading, and now we see her confidence shining in ways we never thought possible. Gianna has been such an amazing trainer, and Brad and the whole team feel like family. You can tell they really care about the kids. We’re beyond grateful for everything you’ve done for our daughter!

Rosa (Savage, MN)

I am so pleased by my younger daughter’s results. She has definitely improved her reading skills and attention span. MIss Ashley is a fantastic trainer and my daughter has loved working with her. My older daughter has completed her training program and we have noticed improvements in her reading, spelling, and math. Her memory and attentions span have also improved. I have noticed significant improvements in her reading abilities, attention span, and memory. Thank you Learning Rx!

Jovan H. (Charlottesville, VA)

Our 10-year-old daughter continued having learning problems. After 2 months of LearningRx, she has more confidence in her learning ability, and she is already getting better grades in English! We can’t wait to see all the great things she will accomplish with this program!

Bridget (Minneapolis, MN)

Learning Rx has provided tangible solutions for our child, support for us as parents, and boosted not only her academic ability but her confidence. We are grateful for our journey and for the amazing staff at Learning Rx.

Maranda & Sas (Shreveport, LA)

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)

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)

We saw a lot of improvement in Parker’s reading comprehension skills and improvements in memory and auditory processing.

Boyd (Irvine, CA)

LearningRx helped me with my memory and I now have more opportunities at work.

Kyle (Milwaukee-Brookfield, WI)

Deciding to proceed with LearningRx turned out to be an excellent choice. By the spring of first grade, Mason showed significant improvements in sitting still, focusing, and remembering tasks, confirmed both at school and home. The best part was Mason expressing his newfound ability to focus and enjoy more free time at school thanks to LearningRx.

Lindsey (Rockford, 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)

It was amazing how this brain training positively affected every aspect of my 8-year old’s life, from comprehending what he read to learning and speaking to building confidence in himself and working through the meltdowns rather than shutting down. Homework time, discipline time, and times of losing are also a lot easier with new understanding. All of which will make his life lessons, now and in the future, easier to adapt to and learn from!

Brendan (Colorado Springs, CO)

Bonnie literally went from barely reading, total meltdown when she was asked to read to now reading above grade level and picking up books for fun even. Training has also improved her attention and focus more than we thought possible. We have even been able to taper off her ADHD meds. Total transformation!

Skip (Chattanooga, TN)

When Katrina first came to LearningRx, we had a frustrated, almost angry daughter who was having a difficult time at school and receiving poor grades. To our delight, Katrina has made a transformation back into her true self in many ways. She’s happy again, speaking positively about her work, her performance, school, and herself in general. For the first time she wants to share what happened at school. She has shown such an attitude switch in many areas, we are thrilled.

Jane (Shreveport, LA)

It’s helped me come a long way in a short time the instructors are easy to understand and make learning math enjoyable to learn.

Nico (Sugarland, TX)

Truly excellent program. Staff was excellent to work with. They kept us informed and were flexible with schedule changes when needed. My child’s progress was tremendous. Grades went up and her attitude towards school became more positive. I definitely recommend LearningRx.

Pj (Colorado Springs, CO)

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)

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)

I just completed 12 weeks of training at LearningRx and could not be happier with the experience. Over the course of the program, I noticed steady and meaningful improvements: faster speed on exercises, greater confidence with mental math (especially addition and multiplication under time pressure), and better focus even with auditory distractions. I also became more consistent at sustaining attention, switching tasks quickly, and tolerating interruptions without losing momentum.

Danielle (Eagan, MN)

This program has really helped him believe in himself when it comes to trying something new or doing something he’s scared to do, or that’s just plain hard. His brain can quickly process the situation and engage in what needs to get done. He doesn’t get as frustrated when doing schoolwork. He’s always had issues with fine motor skills like doing buttons. Brain training has helped with that too, and now he’s able to do his own buttons on his clothes. Everyone could benefit from these services and this program.

Lisa (Sugar Land, TX)

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)

I have seen a huge difference in how Rebekah processes information given to her. She doesn’t struggle to formulate the answer. Rebekah takes her time and to think through the problem or question she has to answer. You can actually see her processing the information she has been given.

Karen (Staunton-Harrisonburg, VA)

I went through the program as an adult looking to improve my reading and cognitive skills, and the test results proved that it worked. The out-of-pocket cost can be a bit daunting, but if it’s feasible, it provides many hours of one-on-one training to enhance your brain skills.

Cole (Minneapolis, MN)

Our son’s reading ability and comprehension has increased significantly after completing this program. I don’t know of anything else out there like it. It is a very different approach from traditional tutoring and very effective. I highly recommend them.

Melissa (Chandler, AZ)

Personalized approach to meet individual child’s needs. Great results with program. Director, Molly, was a big advocate for us when dealing with the school system and getting him resources he needed. More confident, less resistant to homework, willingness to try new things. Overall better attitude towards learning.

Jennifer (Louisville-Springhurst, KY)

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)

I can’t put into words how absolutely grateful I am for Kathi and Doug sincerely. I sustained several injuries including a closed-head injury when a nail gun fell off of a roof and hit me directly on the head…I started with an initial 18-week program and could see the impact. So much so I extended the contract – I am currently over a year now as a client and I couldn’t have asked for a better brain trainer. I highly recommend for anyone recovering from injuries similar to mine.

Bree (Highlands Ranch, CO)

LearningRx has made a HUGE difference in my son’s ability to read and write, as well as his math and attention-based skills in general. He and I had already worked very hard for years using Logic of English, and made progress, but it wasn’t enough to keep him at grade level. He’s gone from a 4th-grade level to an 8th-grade level in 9 months… Additionally, he’s been doing his work with his trainer, so he’s been able to make good use of his extra time at home.

Heidi (Charlottesville, VA)

It was an incredible experience having three children who looked forward to going to brain training on a weekly basis! These trainers were truly incredible in the way they spent time with my kids. I will forever be grateful as well as be a lifetime supporter for what LearningRx is striving to accomplish!

Jason (Pensacola, FL)

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