Cognitive Training for Kids with Autism: What We Do and How We Help

For kids with autism, celebrating neurodiversity is important. Increasingly, studies show that a positive approach can change learners’ educational outcomes, improve overall mental health, and much more. Just as essential is making sure the right supports are in place. At LearningRx, we’re committed to cognitive training that celebrates and supports our learners. We understand what a difference it can make for every student. 

Autism can come with challenges, but neurodiversity is also commonly associated with resilience, creativity, and other positive attributes. Moreover, many scientists, artists, and leaders have ASD, and have cited their neurodivergence as key to their success. Finding meaningful cognitive training help can be essential for learners—and that’s where LearningRx comes in.  

Let’s review how one-on-one brain training works, and how we offer cognitive training to kids with autism.  

How We Support Neurodivergent Learners 

How LearningRx Programs Work

First of all, what is brain training, and what does a brain training program look like? 

Brain training is designed to target core cognitive skills. These are skills used for learning, focusing, socializing, problem-solving, reading, and writing. Through fun, focused games and exercises, students exert these cognitive skills, taking on progressively bigger challenges. As they hone their cognitive skills, they can see gains in the way they think, learn, remember, and more!  

At LearningRx, we offer brain training programs for all ages and abilities. That includes subject-specific support, like reading help or math help, as well as support for those with learning differences. 

Our programs can be fantastic for kids who have a tough time in school, learners who want to enhance their math or reading skills or students who want a challenge! At LearningRx, we’re excited to get students re-energized about learning, and to help every learner discover their unique potential! 

Our Approach to Offering Cognitive Training to Kids with Autism

When it comes to offering cognitive training to kids with autism, it’s important to understand that brain training isn’t a cure or treatment for autism. Instead, our one-on-one programs offer a path forward for students who wish to build on their thinking and learning skills. We target cognitive skills regardless of diagnosis. We take care to provide a positive, dynamic environment for those on the spectrum: 

• We celebrate neurodiversity. At LearningRx, we believe in celebrating our learners’ strengths while helping them tap into new skills and abilities. Our programs are always informed by a positive approach that champions individuals’ neurodiversity. 
• We provide unique support for every student. When it comes to autism, no two students are alike. That’s why it helps to consider one-on-one brain training, which takes a different approach for every learner. We get to know each of our students, then customize their brain training program with their needs in mind. 
• We offer a dynamic alternative to other forms of learning support. Many students come to us after having had lackluster results with tutoring and other options. For these learners, brain training can be a breath of fresh air. With a hands-on, focused environment, we offer a meaningful alternative to other learning supports!   

Find Support for Your Learner

With LearningRx, you can look forward to a targeted cognitive training program that’s specifically tailored to your learner, their strengths, and their abilities. It means we’ll never take a broad-brush approach to supporting your student. Instead, we focus on where they wish to improve and where they already excel, so they can leverage their existing skills while tackling new, exciting challenges. 

Better yet, students who have graduated from a LearningRx program have seen exciting results. We’ve worked with thousands of kids with autism to strengthen their cognitive skills. Neurodivergent learners have reported gains from our brain training programs. At LearningRx, we’re committed to helping every learner thrive on their terms!
