Our current administrators, Executive Director, Greta Ehlers, and Assistant Director, Karla Sheley, partnered in MINDCAP’s inception with founding director, Dr. Jeanne Zehr, to develop a unique program which helps enhance intelligence in clients of all ages. The innovative approach that The MINDCAP Center employs integrates the work of Israeli psychologist Reuven Feuerstein and Carol Dweck's Growth Mindset with the idea of neuroplasticity.
Our name, The MINDCAP Center, explains our focus and aim. Our focus is on the MIND, and our aim is summarized by the acronym for our services--Cognitive Advantage Program (CAP). At MINDCAP we seek to give people of all ability levels an advantage in problem-solving, strategic planning, learning, remembering, and more by strengthening the cognitive skills that underlie those processes.
In January of 2019 MINDCAP became a 501c3 non-profit organization. Daily operating decisions are made by our Executive Director, Greta Ehlers, who reports to a Board of Directors. This Board of Directors provides insight and governance to MINDCAP and is made up of the following individuals: Tomra Cardin (Executive Director of Redemption House of Fort Wayne), Randa Witmer (High School Principal, Lakewood Park Christian School), Carla Wenger (owner of Carla Wenger, LMHC), Susan Sigworth (Senior Communications Specialist at Parkview Health), and David Steiss (local community member).
MINDCAP seeks to enhance the potential of every person to think, learn, and thrive. We welcome you to call us at 260-271-4650 or email us at info@mind-cap.org to schedule a time to visit our center and learn how you or your loved ones can benefit from the MINDCAP Cognitive Advantage Program.
