“We are so grateful for MindCap. The people my daughter worked with and the training she received from them helped reshape the way she thinks about things and helped save her life. It’s so fun to hear her verbally think through situations and know where that mindset came from. So glad to know MindCap is there to help us and others. Blessings to you and MINDCAP.”

“Knowing that I can drastically change a child's mind for the better using these instruments gives me, as a teacher, a tremendous responsibility.”

“In December of 2014, D was diagnosed with leukemia at the age of two. Throughout his treatment, D’s development began to fall behind that of his twin brother; a result of something called “chemo brain”. Over the summer that bridged pre-K and Kindergarten, D was given the opportunity to participate in MINDCAP’s Clarity for Kids program through Cancer Services of Northeast Indiana. During the 6-months of the program, we saw improvements in D’s fine motor skills as well as his behavior. At the beginning, he wasn’t able to physically connect dots but improved immensely by focusing, looking ahead to the dots, making a plan, and persevering; all cognitive strategies used in the MINDCAP program. We found that using such strategies led to less frustration from D as well as my husband and myself. We have continued to bring D to MINDCAP over summer and winter breaks and are happy to report he continues to grow in his academic development. D’s favorite subject is math, one that is still difficult for him to grasp as quickly as his peers, but he rarely gets frustrated and is happy taking his time to get to the correct answer. We are extremely grateful to have found the program and hope that other cancer patients and survivors are fortunate enough to benefit from MINDCAP.”

“By the time our adopted son was 5 years old, he had a diagnosis for sensory processing disorder, anxiety, and ADHD. We tried Occupational Therapy, supplements, dietary changes, and were looking into ADHD medication suggested by a neuropsychologist when a friend recommended MINDCAP to us. We were willing to try anything to help our son. The staff immediately made us feel seen, valued, and like we were a part of their family. We saw an increase in B’s attention and ability to focus after just a few sessions. After 10 months of sessions, he is doing well with his kindergarten work, making friends, understanding emotions, caring for others, and using reason and logic. He rarely has meltdowns and can recover from them much quicker now. Thank you MINDCAP for seeing the best in our B!”
