“My daughter came to MINDCAP after an experience similar to a brain injury, which stunted her thought processes and her sense of self-worth. When she began sessions, she was resistant and uncooperative, and being a stubborn teenager, she wasn't always nice. I cannot say enough about how amazing MINDCAP was for her! In addition to the Feuerstein Method, her instructors showed so much patience, persistence, professionalism, compassion, and encouragement in every session. Gradually, my daughter's resistance turned into resilience, and her intellectual and emotional maturity blossomed. It was incredible to watch her start from a place of poor communication skills and low self-esteem and then grow to welcome challenges and celebrate victories, renewing a sense of "I can." She is doing so much better today, and she actually wants to go back!”

“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.”

“How do I put into words how profoundly The MINDCAP Center has changed our daughter’s life (and ours also). Gone is the girl I describe as a zombie. No emotion, or at least very little unless it was extreme positive or negative emotion. After the first summer she took part in MINDCAP classes (M’s junior year), teachers started to notice small differences. The changes were more evident to her family and close friends. During the summer before her senior year, M again took classes with MINDCAP in a group setting. This helped her to reinforce what she had done the year prior, but also, she was able to build on those skills. M is still 100% medication free almost 18 months after her initial MINDCAP experience. As she is finishing up her high school career, she is going to Purdue Fort Wayne to major in Elementary Education with her concentration in Special Education. She wants to help kids like herself.”
- A.H., mother of teenage daughter
“I love that this program both raises and heightens awareness of what we do well, but more importantly, what challenges continual growth. I also love its applicability to all life areas-self, health, social relations, occupation, spiritual development-in pursuit of excellence.”
