Do you or your child have a cognitive challenge caused by ADD, Age Related Cognitive Decline, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Brain Injury, Giftedness, or Spina Bifida?
Are you an educator who needs PGPs to relicense or a therapist who would like training in our cognitive development strategies?
What do a woman who survived trauma, a gifted boy, a single mother, and a non-verbal boy with Cerebral Palsy have in common? Much, when mediation happens! Learn about some powerful connections happening at MINDCAP in the video above.
“It has been well established that the most complex cognitive and executive functions, such as perception, attention, learning and memory require synthesized brain activity. When designing the ultimate treatment program to overcome deficits in these areas, we must consider the evidence that suggests communication problems between regions of the brain. In other words, the focus of treatment, in my opinion needs to be twofold: address maladaptive behavior that impedes learning and replace with functional equivalents (ABA), as well as use teaching strategies to re-synchronize brain activity (Feuerstein's Instrumental Enrichment).”

“This unique program will enhance and improve students' learning, thinking and analyzing skills. This optimistic approach to instruction focuses on what students may accomplish rather than the disability.”

“My child is someone that has had deficits in areas of learning that although addressed for years, he has never been able to master. He has struggled with anxiety, frustration and all the behaviors and learning issues that come with that. Life has been a struggle, something that you survive but you don’t enjoy or thrive. Since starting MINDCAP, my child has begun to learn the deficit areas that no other therapy has been able to address. He has more expanded language, better retention and understanding as well as clearer verbal communication. He still has a long way to go, but we currently are at the beginning of a journey of accomplishment. Which is very exciting since he is currently 25 years old. We have experienced positive changes in how he lives his life. Frustration levels are dropping. He laughs freely and can enjoy his life. His personality, which was driven by anxiety and stress is much more relaxed and carefree. We are very excited to see him come alive and be able to willingly participate in life. We know that we have a long way to go, but to see that we are on the right path for our child is priceless. It gives us hope for a brighter future for him. ”
- Jerri Mead, mother
