Mindprint cognitive assessment
In order to make the cognitive skills workshop truly hands-on and meaningful, registrants will have the opportunity to have one of their own children (or grandchildren), aged 8 and up, take a scientifically valid, nationally normed cognitive assessment called Mindprint. If you would prefer to use this opportunity with a student in your school, please feel free to do so.
To take advantage of this offer, please use the following link form to provide the information required for your children/students to be set up to take the assessment. Information must be provided no later than 10 days prior to the presentation date.
Your Child Learns Differently, Now What?
Presentation attendees will receive a copy of the newly released book “Your Child Learns Differently, Now What?”.
“I have seen happy children reach their full potential no matter what their learning difficulties. I offer my congratulations to Stark and Hill for tackling such a difficult issue in this book and for what they have done for children everywhere.”
Dr. Patricia Wolfe, author of Brain Matters
