“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.”

“MINDCAP has helped N in many different ways. He started to gain confidence in himself to take on challenges since he learned the tools that he needed in order to do so. MINDCAP doesn't just stop with the client. MINDCAP is for the whole entire family. It has helped me as his mother and also the rest of the family to better understand how to prompt and approach him in the way that he needs in order to achieve success with challenges that come his way. MINDCAP was not just a place where my child went to for a therapy session, it was also a place where it taught the world around him how to communicate with the world that was inside him. ”

“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.”

“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!”
