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

“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 strongly believe that if physicians know that this type of program exists to address the cognitive and behavioral needs of the patients, they will be much more likely to perform developmental screening. Indiana has a dismal rate of timely developmental screening and I know we can do better. My goal is that all children are physically, mentally and spiritually healthy and educated to their highest potential. MindCAP is a critical resource we need to begin to ensure all of Allen County's children are ready to embrace their academic potential.”

- D.A. McMahan, MD, Health Commissioner, Fort Wayne-Allen County Department of Health

“I found this training very useful in home, social and work aspects of my life. The material has fundamentally altered how I will relate to my teenager.”

- T. Bugajski, University of St Francis, Fort Wayne, IN

“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.”

- D. Appiarius, University of St Francis, Fort Wayne, IN
