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

“The training has and will continue to help me grow as a speech language pathologist. The Feuerstein program has helped me unlock language for so many of my clients.”

- S. Mowery, Speech and Language Pathologist

“Thank you again for a week full of insight, wisdom and great fun on the FIE Basic (CognitiveKey) last week. Each day I felt like I was filled to the brim with practical knowledge that has the potential to grow minds and change lives. It really was inspiring to hear stories of Reuven Feuerstein himself - what a brilliant man, huge heart - as well as your own incredible stories of mediating with these instruments in America and around the world. Thank you for putting your heart and soul into the week. You conveyed a real spark and energy. As mentioned last week, I have already started mediating A on the Dots and I on Identifying the Emotions.”

- Parent of clients A and I

“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

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

- R. Stratton, Lutheran South Unity School, Fort Wayne, IN
