Diagnosis Doesn’t Get the Final Word

Everyone can improve their cognition, regardless of the cause of a cognitive challenge. We work with clients of all ages to make advances in cognitive, emotional, and social skills to improve function, obtain goals, and impact quality of life. We believe that it is never too late for hope, and that a diagnosis does not define a person.

Testimonials

“I enjoyed Jeanne’s F.I.E. training because she shares books and research that expand my knowledge. I enjoyed seeing different points of view by other professionals.”

- B.J. Russell, Educational Therapist

“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.”

“Basic 1 (CognitiveKey) was my first exposure to MINDCAP and Feuerstein. As an educator, I believe this has been the most beneficial and useful training I have received in my career.”

- K., Primary Resource Teacher, Blackhawk Christian School

“Totally eye-opening. I learned that the brain can learn when you don't think that it can. You can teach a person to think by mediating them.”

- S. Mittetstaedt, Lutheran South Unity School, Fort Wayne, IN
