“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.”

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

“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.”

“The training for Basic 2 (CognitiveKey—Level 2) was just as exciting and enlightening as Basic 1 (CognitiveKey). These go by so quickly and the information gained from Jeanne and the other students is invaluable.”
