“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!”

“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 skills, better retention and understanding as well as clearer verbal communication. 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.”

“Jeanne’s training was by far the most interactive that I have taken. She did such a fabulous job of supplying us with resources that are valuable to the type of clients that we each work with. Jeanne is such a dynamic instructor. I had a fantastic week.”

“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.”
