WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT OUR PROGRAMS
BrainWare SAFARI
Adam Ovesen
“Our child recently completed the 12 week program, and we are thrilled at the cognitive leaps he has taken in that period. We’ve seen great improvement in concentration, attentiveness, verbal memory, and working memory. The rigorous challenges of the Safari games have also helped to build persistence and confidence; it was not easy, but the hard work paid dividends. While the program is intensive, if you can set aside the time regularly, it’s definitely worth it. I highly recommend BrainWare SAFARI to families whose children may need it.” Adam Ovesen, father of Ben (age 13)
Ann Budicin
“Our students have used BrainWare for several years now, and it has become an integral part of our curriculum. Our teachers have found it easy to implement and the support from the BrainWare team is exceptional! BrainWare has helped our students grow their cognitive processing skills and become better learners. The positive impact of BrainWare can be seen in our students academic growth across the curriculum. Having been an educator for over 30 years, I highly recommend BrainWare for all students!” Anne Budicin, Principal, Glenwood Academy
Amber Root
BrainWare works beautifully. Erik has shown marked improvement in many areas in which he has been struggling and under-performing. His verbal communication has skyrocketed and he is actually questioning concepts he doesn’t understand. The program definitely requires consistent commitment from both parent and child to see improvement. This cannot be stressed enough.
Working one-on-one with Erik and the program has sometimes been a challenge because he gets frustrated with the tasks he has not completed. I use positive reinforcement to mitigate the frustration. The program is easy to use and it is phenomenal to see Erik’s growth. Amber Root, Mother (Erik, Age 9)
Christine West
We recently completed the BrainWare “Brain Safari” Program with our 12 year old. In considering BrainWare, I consulted with a learning specialist we have worked with for the past several years. After reviewing the program, she commented that it was the most exciting thing she had seen professionally in years. She said it very much put into practice, in a practical and appealing way, the work and insights she had encountered during her graduate work. We were so encouraged seeing the progress from the original assessment to the post assessment. We found the team at BrainWare to be highly professional and helpful. They took individual interest in our challenges and were very accessible throughout the whole process. We would highly recommend the program and the people who run it. Christine West, Mother (William, Age 12)
Kanika Johnson, Dean, Glenwood Academy
BrainWare SAFARI is an essential part of our students’ learning experience. The vivid, enjoyable interactive digital environment is stimulating and fun; while strengthening cognitive skills and reasoning abilities. BrainWare SAFARI improves students’ aptitude to learn in creative and innovative ways. Kanika Johnson, Dean, Glenwood Academy
Carla Johnson
When I first looked into BrainWare I was unsure how or if it would help develop and improve my son’s cognitive skills. After he completed most levels in the training software, which is a fun program to work in, his results from the pre-test to the post test, showed the time he put into the program was well worth it. He improved in every level tested, making significant strides in some categories. It also provided a framework to tell us and him how he best learned (his “super power” for learning). I’m glad we reached out to BrainWare Learning Company. Carla Johnson (Graydon, Age 15)
Amita D.
The reports are so spot on.
The science is so accurate, I am really thankful to God for providing us an opportunity to use this for our daughter. Amita D., Mother (Su, Age 8)
Tony L.
I have been able to improve working memory and logical reasoning skills thanks to BrainWare SAFARI. Tony L.
Thomas Hughes, Principal, Maple Crest STEM Middle School
As the principal of a middle school who has partnered with BrainWare, this is a missing piece in our “curriculum” in all states. We saw great gains in our kids while on BrainWare and look to continue our partnership. Thomas Hughes, Principal, Maple Crest Middle School.
Janet G.
BrainWare Learning Company provides educational programs to close learning gaps using students’ strengths. Students build upon existing knowledge to tackle new skills and further develop self-growth. My district used BrainWare SAFARI in several ways: after-school for enrichment and during intervention blocks. Both Middle Schools were successful in their deliveries – parents, teachers and students saw long-term gains in cognitive development.
The support we received from BrainWare Learning Company rep and support team were excellent and showed us how beneficial our selected programs would be as well as addressing potential difficulties and challenges. I highly suggest you purchase this. Janet G., School Principal
William G.
Olivia’s coach is truly an educator. She helped our family in more ways than simply enriching our child’s basic knowledge. She helped shaped Olivia into the person she is today by coaching her, mentoring her and, above all, educating her and for that we will always be thankful! Thank you for everything you have done for us! You’ve activated a hunger in our daughter for knowledge and wisdom, inspiring Olivia to plan for her future and become a better individual. Thanks for everything. You’ve been so much more than a teacher for us. You’ve been our mentor, our support and our guide. The BrainWare organization has a fantastic, gifted, teacher in their midst! William G., Father (Olivia, Age 10)
Angela A.
BrainWare is a great program! As a 3rd grade teacher, I participated in it, along with my students. I feel it improved my memory and I enjoyed the challenges. The students could not wait to login and see how far they could progress each day. Angela A., Teacher
Michelle S.
This program and software has been the best thing for our son who has developmental delay and ADHD. We have tried so many other learning programs and software but nothing has compared to this. He has had so much growth with the 12 week program with a personal coach. If you have a child who struggles with the traditional learning in schools I highly recommend this program. It really works. The coach was amazing and really understood and connected with our son which definitely makes it more successful. Also he wasn’t verbal or talkative in class participation and struggled with putting thoughts out into words. But now after 12 weeks he’s participating in class at school and is more talkative with family and friends. He’s able to express himself more and we can understand what he means now. Definitely recommend this to anyone who has a struggling learner. Thanks BrainWare! Michelle S., Mother (Tyler, Age 9)
David P.
We were very impressed with the BrainWare staff and the overall process. Our daughter seemed to enjoy going through the program and liked watching her progress. A special thank you goes to her coach. David P., Father (Laura, Age 16)
Charles Sosnik
BrainWare Learning Company is bringing true educational equity to learners. Unlike anything that is being offered in schools, BrainWare Learning Company works with students to improve their cognitive capacity. Students who have had the benefit of access to learning through improvements in cognitive skills have experienced quick and lasting increases in academic performance. Teachers work incredibly hard, but it is simply unrealistic to ask more of them when we can make the learning and teaching process so much easier and more effective. Cognitive science is proven and it works. Don’t tell students what to learn, show them how to learn. They will be successful for a lifetime. Charles Sosnik, The Learning Counsel
Alan Aldworth
BrainWare is the leader of neuroscience based learning programs. They have more data on positive learning outcomes than any educational program I know of. Their solutions have helped tens of thousands of children and adults improve critical thinking skills and educational outcomes. Alan Aldworth, CEO SKO Learning
Janice C.
My school used BrainWare SAFARI last year and it was such an amazing experience for the students. First of all, they loved the exercises. It really worked all parts of the brain and it kept them engaged and challenged. Since it has different levels, the students are able to be successful at the beginning, but then challenged as the higher the level (but without frustration). Second, as a teacher of 33 years, this is the best program out there for working the brain in all areas. I even worked on it and was surprised as to how it made me use my brain. I found myself wanting to work on BrainWare every day. Janice C., Teacher
Rainy B.
I have used this program when it first launched with my homeschooled children. This program really was really helpful. Just be sure to take advantage of the training and follow instructions. If you follow the steps you really can see results. This company has evolved so much since then. Assessments tailored to your child and great support. Rainy B.
Tonya C.
We had Title 1 students utilize this program at our school. Not only did they love it, they also said it helped them think. Pretty profound statements coming from students. As a teacher, I saw an improvement in the student’s work and they felt more self confident. I recommend this product as it is truly research-based and not a gimmick! Tonya C., Currently a Principal – Elementary/Middle School
Raquel M.
Hi I’m Marina. After using Brainwave Safari for 27 weeks I can say that it helped me to improve my spelling and do better at school. It built up my confidence to do my schoolwork on my own.
Hi, we are the parents of Marina. We think the program is beneficial for everybody. We really enjoyed seeing Marina’s progress of her cognitive skills that are clearly reflected in her academic work. We also found the program very useful in us, adults in our forties. It helped us to improve our memory skills and other cognitive skills. Raquel M., Mother (Marina, Age 13)
Kasey W.
He is enjoying the program. He has some favorite activities like Web Weaving and Arrow Point Bridge. There are some he finds really challenging and he doesn’t like as much. Despite his challenges, we have seen lots of improvements and his teachers have reported that his recall of letters, sounds, and number is much faster!!!! He can now count to 100 and he is sound out some simple words. He also has learned his right from his left from doing some of the program’s games. This is huge for us. The best part is he finally wrote his name by himself without tracing or any hand over hand help. 🙂 Kasey W., Mother (Connor, Age 8)
Channah U.
The program has solved much of my daughter’s issues so far. She is learning academics much, much better. Using her brain in different ways. She is more confident about learning and has developed much more and I do owe it to the BrainWare system. She is so far doing excellent and we are about halfway through. Channah U., Mother (Yael, Age 11)
Melissa B.
I just want to take the time to say thank you for showing me ways to help Roger and providing the resources that we need for his academic growth. I took the information to the IEP meeting and it was the best IEP meeting that I ever attended. I felt empowered because I knew the terminology in a way to assist Roger to help him get the support that he needs. His teacher was excited and the IEP team was happy for Roger and me. It was a very productive meeting. Melissa B., Mother (Roger, Age 10)
Renae T.
I am very pleased with BrainWare Learning Company! They have amazing founders who truly want to help our children succeed in whichever education system our kids participate. I have two kids who are benefiting from their program. The coach that is working with them is very kind and patient, and also expects hard work, focus, accountability and responsibility. She does an amazing job with my children and after working with them for 4 weeks, I have seen dramatic improvements in their focus, desire to learn, self-start homework and school work, problem solve, and I have seen their confidence in their ability to research, learn, and apply, grow!! Renae T., Mother (Michael, Age 14, Allison, Age 17)
Jeanne M.
“My daughter was coached through BrainWare SAFARI this past fall. Her coach was amazing and was very patient and good at encouraging her. Her memory is much better now and she has acquired several skills that will be useful not just in school work, but also in daily living (even in making Nintendo games easier for her). We found BrainWare SAFARI to be a valuable resource for helping with challenges that having dyslexia has manifested. Thank-you so much for the opportunity for her to do that.” Jeanne M., Mother (Faith, Age 13)
Kris Bowen
“As I journeyed into my early 50s, I started noticing my ability to remember details, numbers, and tasks while working was declining. Looking for a solution, I met the BrainWare team. Since completing the software journey – which was enjoyable and rewarding! – I have noticed significant improvements in both my work life and my personal life. It’s as if the cobwebs in my neural pathways have been removed and things just fall into place now. I would highly recommend for everyone – regardless of age!” Kris Bowen, President, Tesco Solutions
Beis Chaya Mushka
“Very effective program. Great guidance and cuctomer service. Highly recommended.” Beis Chaya Mushka, NY
Lynnette Kaschke
“The team at BrainWare are supportive, knowledgeable and available to help! The programs have helped our teachers to look at how our students process information, and can then instruct them where they are cognitively. The BrainWare SAFARI software really engaged our students and helped them develop skills and address deficits. We would recommend BrainWare Learning Company to educators and therapists.” Lynette Kaschke, Assistive Technology Specialist, CT
Dr. Pat Wolfe
“Almost nothing I have seen has the ability to develop the cognitive skills that kids need to be able to think and plan. When I saw BrainWare SAFARI, I was really impressed. I am endorsing it wholeheartedly because it works and because I think it is what we really need for our kids.” Pat Wolfe, Author of Brain Matters
Michael Strong
“In a world of hype regarding learning games and brain development software, BrainWare SAFARI is the software product most likely to result in significant real gains in IQ scores when used as recommended and complemented by a healthy physical, emotional and social environment. Learning software has finally become worth buying.” Michael Strong, Author of The Habit of Thought
Rachel Ross-Kroemer
“Whenever I have had any questions, the staff at BrainWare have always very helpful. Whether I called or emailed, I quickly received answers and ideas to help my students.” Rachel Ross-Kroemer, Speech and Language Pathologist, formerly with Noblesville Schools, Noblesville, IN
Paul A.
“BrainWare is helping my grandson learn strategy. If he can’t do an exercise because he has a problem with his ADHD, he develops a strategy so that he can find a way to do it. He learns how to use his brain in different ways to help him with his speed. We’re seeing benefits we never thought we sould get which are helping us combat is deficiency.” Paul A., Grandfather (Gregory, Age 10)
Thao D.
“The kids nowadays are really into computers and this [BrainWare SAFARI] is an alternative to video games. It helps improve their learning and keeps them busy and they’re having fun. What else could you ask for?” Thao D., Mother (Christine, Age 9)
Cheryl M.
“It’s like the difference between taking your child to a music lesson and sitting and waiting or having the music teacher come to your house. You can manage it, you can get your hands around it, and you can give this gift to your child.” Cheryl M., Mother (Drew, Age 10)
John Y.
“They think they’re playing but they’re really learning. The video-game format makes them want to play. We did BrainWare for the learning aspect, but the game part really made them want to do it. It motivated them.” John Y., Father (Kendall, Age 11, Clay, Age 8)
Mary O.
“BrainWare has been wonderful for my son! He’s 14 and has really struggled with attention deficit, auditory processing, thinking and concentration. I am absolutely convinced that BrainWare has improved not only his ability to stay focused, but his overall achievement. He’s zooming through his regular assignments now and I’m having to supplement with more challenging work to keep him engaged.” Mary O., Parent
Harlan K.
“Before BrainWare SAFARI, Adam used to drift away a lot and get distracted when he was doing challenging problems, especially in math. Now he’s more focused. We’re really pleased with that. It’s a wonderful program.” Harlan K., Father (Adam, Age 12)
Joshua Woodward
“I spent the better part of my years in grammar school in “LD” classes, where I wasn’t challenged. I suffered when I made the transition to “Mainstream” classes. My performance was average at best. After having worked through BrainWare SAFARI, I can attest to its usability as well as playability. Had I been given such a tool in my early stages of learning, I believe my time in school would have been less difficult.” Joshua Woodward, MSW, Chicago, IL
Sam Kline
“I had to take an aptitude test for my job as a Construction Field Engineer, and was told that very few people got halfway through it. I completed 49 out of 50 questions and received one of the highest scores ever. I am very aware of how BrainWare SAFARI helps me. The directionality and visualization exercises have made it is easy for me to direct a co-worker to set up instrumentation in the field even if I am not facing the same direction. BrainWare breaks down the basic building blocks of thinking and learning.” Sam Kline, Construction Field Engineer
Matt H.
“My son’s first-grade teacher noted two major gaps–his ability to focus and his abstract thinking skills. We heard about BrainWare SAFARI and decided to give it a try. At first, my son was frustrated. My wife worked with him on Rhythm Ribbet, just listening to the beat. A few minutes later, he ran into the kitchen screaming, ‘I did it! I did it!” About two days later, he was working on BrainWare SAFARI and he leaned forward in the chair and his entire expression would change. We had never seen this before from him.” Matt H., Father of 7-Year Old with Autism
Scott W.
“Seven years ago, when Justin started using BrainWare, he was confused by it at first. Once he was able to understand it, he enjoyed it and it led to much better hand-eye coordination as well as working faster and with enhanced comprehension. I believe the exposure to BrainWare assisted him in coming off his 504 status because he was able to finish tests in the standard classroom time. He has also become more social.” Scott W., Father (Justin, Age 15)
Console Operator Trainee
“I loved the program. I saw it as a challenge to do better. The program made me function better.” Console Operator Trainee, Oil Refinery, CA
Curtis Boehmer
“I found BrainWare SAFARI on the web and it intrigued me. We set up a small pilot group and ran it for 12 weeks. The results were absolutely amazing. It was everything it said it was and more. As a result of the study, and the increased academic performance of the students, BrainWare SAFARI was instituted for all students in grades 3 through 12. We are very pleased with the continuing results and the improved student achievement. Every student in America should use BrainWare SAFARI.” Curtis Boehmer, Speech and Language Pathologist, Huron Intermediate School District, MI
Dr. Gary Vogel
“BrainWare SAFARI is revolutionary. For the first time, the kinds of exercises I have used one-on-one with patients have been incorporated into a fun and entertaining video-game format.” Gary Vogel, OD, FAAO
Anne Budicin
“Because of our students’ backgrounds, we are always striving to provide them with opportunities that close academic gaps and help them achieve their true potential. BrainWare SAFARI is an essential part of achieving this. It helps our students improve their short-term, long-term and working memory. Teachers have seen improvement in attentiveness, and noted better recall of information.” Anne Budicin, Principal, Glenwood Academy, IL
Peter Kline
“Information is growing at a pace never before seen in the history of the world. Our children and grandchildren are growing up into a world where they’ll have to deal with problems we’ve haven’t thought about. BrainWare SAFARI is one of the tools that can make that experience delightful instead of frightening and threatening.” Peter Kline, Author of The Everyday Genius
Chana F.
“BrainWare SAFARI is a miracle. I would have paid anything for it, now that I have seen what it can do to help my son grow his brain right before my eyes. I am confident that it will transform his academic failure into brilliant success.” Chana F., Mother, Israel
Patrick Tharp
“It’s been a phenomenal experience to watch both children go through BrainWare SAFARI, especially Brianna. Brianna was having some challenges in school, and after she completed BrainWare SAFARI, she made the honor roll, which has been exciting and a very proud moment for me as a father.” Patrick Tharp, Father (Briana, Age 8, Angela, Age 10)
Rachel C.
“I can concentrate more and lots of stuff is easier [after using BrainWare SAFARI].” Rachel C. (Age 8)
Tim S.
“You learn and you have fun at the same time. I think I’m smarter because I do BrainWare.” Tim S. (Age 8)
Colleen Bain
“I use BrainWare SAFARI as one of my tools to transform students into dynamic independent learners. This program has proven itself time and time again to help strengthen a student’s underlying cognitive skill set. A lot of my students enjoy using this program. I often recommend it for students who need strengthening within auditory and/or visual memory in addition to other areas.” Colleen Bain, Enhanced Learning Skills for Kids
Dr. Jean-Claude Dutes
“BrainWare SAFARI is like calisthenics for the brain. The exercises ‘tone’ mental faculties just like physical exercise tones muscles. While muscles gain in strength, agility, and endurance as they are conditioned, methodical use of brain-toning activities leads to stronger concentration, faster thinking speed, keener reasoning, and greater mental stamina. BrainWare SAFARI is toning for the intelligent brain.” Dr. Jean-Claude Dutes, Michigan State University
Dr. Teresa Rosen
“As a clinician and a parent, I have never seen a program that offers the intensity and diversity that BrainWare SAFARI offers. For the price, for the time involved, for the motivation of the child, there’s nothing out there that even comes close. It should be a staple in every household.” Theresa Rosen, PhD
Dr. Russell Osnes
“Our brains are constantly changing and developing. The more we exercise them, the faster we learn, and the better we process the information we receive. Working in BrainWare SAFARI can help kids perform better, do tasks more efficiently, remember what they’ve been studying in school better, and be able to stay on task longer. The skills children learn in BrainWare SAFARI they will apply every day of their lives.” Russell Osnes, OD
Michelle Fisher-Jones
“It is sad, as an educator, to see many students who come into my class lacking the confidence they need to be successful in school. It is imperative that students are given the opportunities to excel. BrainWare SAFARI was that opportunity and the students definitely took advantage of it. I could see changes in their ability to think logically and to solve problems. They just wanted to keep going.” Michelle Fisher-Jones, Teacher, IN
Natalie Cordell
“I love BrainWare SAFARI and so do the students. The program is indeed a great way for the students to learn while having fun. Many of them have shown more willingness to work independently. The program definitely has boosted their self-esteem as they have graduated many levels. It is rewarding to watch them solve problems and reach success.” Natalie Cordell, Teacher, IN
Gaby Chapman
“As an English teacher, I had students with a variety of levels of difficulty with reading and dyslexia. One was reading six levels below grade. I learned about BrainWare SAFARI and it seemed to be something we could easily incorporate into our program. The four students who used it were able to make significant progress. The 8th grader improved her reading fluency and also gained a lot of confidence, volunteering to give a speech at 8th grade graduation. It was very rewarding.” Gaby Chapman, English Teacher, CA
Stephanie Brown
“With BrainWare SAFARi, my students had the opportunity to develop their cognitive skills while playing intellectual games that the program provided. The students were highly motivated, with little exception, throughout. I would not hesitate to recommend use of BrainWare SAFARI in schools. It meets students’ brain development needs while working through a technology medium that students crave. It truly was a wonderful experience.” Stephanie Brown, Teacher, IN
Sheila Govern
“Students who used BrainWare SAFARI in 3rd grade and returned in 4th grade reduced the gap between their performance and expectation by at least half on reading tests. Students who used the program in 4th grade and returned in 5th grade reduced the gap by 75%. We currently focus on using the program with Title I students because it helps them more rapidly close the gap by developing skills that are difficult to remediate in any other way.” Sheila Govern, Principal, AZ
Ron Kraft
“To educate students in the Information Age instead of the Industrial Age, we need Information Age tools and materials that support Information Age thinking. BrainWare SAFARI is on the cutting edge of preparing students to be Information Age thinkers using exercises that develop their ability to recognize patterns, solve problems, and think more effectively.” Ron Kraft, Superintendent, MI
Dr. Lou Whitaker
“The area we noticed the greatest improvement in was the attitude of the students. They enjoyed using the program and the teachers and parents noticed they were able to complete homework assignments with less stress and frustration. As an educator for over forty years, I have spent my career looking for innovative programs that produce results, give teachers valuable data they can use to improve their instruction, get students excited about learning, and put fun back in the classroom. BrainWare SAFARI is such a program.” Dr. Lou Whitaker, Principal, Pope John Paul Middle School, FL
Dr. Lou Barber
“When I became aware of the effectiveness of BrainWare SAFARI, I recognized the potential contribution this program could make to the educational field. It basically provides a process by which the brain learns how to learn. It is truly a major breakthrough in education and has unlimited potential for individuals with disability as well as those with high-level academic ability. Dr. Lou Barber, Former Assistant State Superintendent, CA
Wendi A.
“Today, while one of my students, Alex, was playing BrainWare SAFARI, he said, ‘I feel so alive!’ I am very encouraged.” Wendi A., 8th Grade Teacher
Denise Kish
“As a principal and curriculum director, I am always looking for what works in education to help each of our students learn faster, more easily and more comprehensively, so each student experiences success. We have found that BrainWare SAFARI works with students at any level, whether struggling or accelerated. I consider this program a very important tool for our teachers; it makes their jobs easier as they now have better performing students. Denise Kish, Principal, MI
Wei L.
“Originally, I thought this program [BrainWare SAFARI] was remedial, but everyone can get benefit from it. It’s individualized to provide enrichment and build a solid foundation.” Wei L., Mother (Eric, Age 6)
Lemiola Erinkitola
“The changes were obvious early on. After about 3 weeks, the student was more focused and began to engage in more questioning. She started wondering why, not just accepting what she read or heard. She became much more open to challenging work, especially in math. When this already high-performing student was tested, she moved from the 86th to the 98th percentile in reading and from the 95th to the 98th percentile in math.” Lemi Erinkitola, Gifted Learning Specialist
Mother of Strugglilng 4th Grader
“Fourth grade was miserable. Even though my daughter did her homework every night and had a tutor, she wasn’t able to retain facts, read at a second-grade level, and rarely passed tests in class. Her teacher requested holding her back. After just 3 weeks of using BrainWare SAFARI, she was not only telling me her multiplication facts, but figuring out our her division facts, and her reading comprehension has increased. This program has been a gift.” Mother of Struggling 4th Grader
Lisa E.
“My daughter, who spent four and a half years in an institution in Russia, has completed 73 levels in BrainWare so far and is thrilled. She has even completed some areas with memory and sequencing, areas she was very weak in and thought she could not do. I see my daughter making gains on this versus other computer games she plays. This is unique.” Lisa E., Mother (Kristi, Age 7)
Lisa M.
“BrainWare SAFARI is helping one son with attention span, another with patience and diligence, and another with his focus and attention to detail. What a great thing to have one product that can help all three of my very individual sons! And, by the way, although my oldest has not yet admitted to having fun, I find him smiling while working on the program!” Lisa M., Mother of 3 Sons
Puling Z.
“BrainWare SAFARI works on skills that can benefit children for their lifetime. Other skills they may forget, but this is different. It’s like Chinese traditional medicine; it cures form the root.” Puling Z., Mother (Rachel, Age 7)
Debra W.
“I noticed a difference in his schoolwork. When I went in to see his teacher, she told me how well he was maturing and how easy it was for him to make progress. She now has to keep up with him in his schoolwork. Before he was slower and afraid to make decisions. Now he makes decisions for both of us. He likes BrainWare SAFARI. I love it!” Debra W., Mother (Demar, Age 10)
Veranda W.
“BrainWare SAFARI helped Zoie think outside of the box learning to solve problems not just in one set way, but incorporating different, more creative and visual functions.” Veranda W., Mother (Zoie, Age 7)
Julie B.
“I’m happy with BrainWare and I’ve watched Nick’s progress. His attention is better. I think his memory is better too. But what I really notice is that I don’t have to repeat myself 20 times to get him to do something.” Julie B., Mother (Nicholas, Age 9)
Barb M.
“I think that all kids have strengths and weaknesses and they feel much better about their weaknesses when they know their strengths. BrainWare did that for Matt. I had a hard time believing the results because he showed such a huge amount of improvement. I took him to a psychologist because I wanted to validate the results. They were all validated. I was just the happiest Mom in town.” Barb M., Mother (Matt, Age 9)
Mary H.
“Before Philip would come home and want to do other things because homework was too hard or would take too long. Now he comes home and does it. And the best part is his grades have improved.” Mary H., Mother (Philip, Age 10)
Jeremy F.
“My grades went up a lot from B’s and C’s to A’s and B’s [after BrainWare SAFARI].” Jeremy F. (Age 11)
Drew D.
“I’ve gotten better at listening. I used to misunderstand stuff because I didn’t read the instructions and got right to work, but BrainWare SAFARI taught me to slow down and double-check my work.” Drew D. (Age 10)
J. Detweiler
“My daughter has Sensory Processing Disorder; her vision and auditory system are impacted by this. BrainWare SAFARI does a great job targeting the skills she needs improvement on. We’ve found some of the games are similar to exercises her vision therapist was having her do though BrainWare does it in a way that’s more fun. As a parent, I enjoy watching her play the games and find them challenging for myself.” J. Detweiler, Father, Girl (Age 8)
Leah Petrusiak
“When I was a freshman in high school, my teacher told my dad, ‘Leah doesn’t know how to think.’ As time went on, I realized I had trouble piecing together how certain events culminated in larger happenings. I often forgot events in my own history. While I’ve dealt with my disconnects in a number of ways, I decided to check out BrainWare SAFARI. One unexpected benefit I realized was an improvement in my art-making ability.”Leah Petrusiak, Journalist
Mark Booth
“BrainWare has given us a chance to make an impact with tier three students that are on their last leg before coming off diploma track. We have been able to increase their executive functioning skills which, in turn, has increased their ability to learn, and enhanced their organizational skills and their engagement in the classroom.” Mark Booth, Director of Special Education, Noblesville Schools, IN
Rachel H.
“I think BrainWare SAFARI was fun and it helps me with my memory. When I had Chinese class, I got all of them right. The teacher was very impressed.” Rachel H. (Age 7)
Mindprint
Melissa B.
I just want to take the time to say thank you for showing me ways to help Roger and providing the resources that we need for his academic growth. I took the information to the IEP meeting and it was the best IEP meeting that I ever attended. I felt empowered because I knew the terminology in a way to assist Roger to help him get the support that he needs. His teacher was excited and the IEP team was happy for Roger and me. It was a very productive meeting. Melissa B., Mother (Roger, Age 10)
Dr. John Gabrieli
“I have no doubt this [Mindprint] is the best online cogntiive assessment available.” Dr. John Gabrieli, Professor at MIT, and Harvard Graduate School of Education
Father of Girl Age 10
“We just reviewed the [Mindprint] report and it was right on target. We reviewed it with our daughter and she agreed with the weakness area examples and even gave us examples of things that happened at school recently that we didn’t realize. Even the aspects of her learning that we knew about generally, it was nice to put a name to it and get a detailed description of how it impacts learning. Our daughter was very excited by the resource receommendations.” Father of Girl, Age 10
Mother of Girl with ADHD
“Thanks to Mindprint, we realized we needed to increase my daughter’s medication, which she finds has really increased her ability to focus.” Mother of Girl with ADHD
Father of Girl Age 9
“The results of the Mindprint assessment were quite impressive. When her Profile revealed a relative weakness in processing speed, some of the academic problems made more sense. We had presumed that the issue had been working memory, and the assessment actually disproved this. In my professional life, I rely on data to make the most of my decisions. I haven’t had an opportunity to have such usable, precise and meaningful insight for my own child’s educational development until now.” Father, 9-Year Old Girl
