In memory of Vicki SnyderSeptember 8, 1960 – December 28, 2025

Along with a small team, occupational therapist Vicki Snyder was instrumental in the formation of MINDCAP. Trained in all aspects of the Feuerstein method, Vicki loved learning and growing. In 2025 after many hours of collaboration, she, along with a colleague from Brazil, published a research article in Frontiers in Psychology on Attention Disorder.

Vicki loved her family, her friends, and MINDCAP. She worked as a Feuerstein mediator for many years, serving countless families with careful planning, innovative ideas, and encouraging advice. She had a kind and loving servant’s heart. To say that she will be missed is an understatement.
