What is

Mindprint ?


“ It’s that ‘aha’ moment. “Every single Mindprint we’ve given has been illuminating and helpful. The information is priceless; it can change the course of the student’s path.

– Yea F., Dir. Learning Services and Support, Greenwood School, CA


Do you KNOW your child as a learner? Mindprint identifies HOW a student learns. This is different from school achievement tests that measure your child’s proficiency on academic skills.

Cognitive assessments like Mindprint often explain why a student is performing or behaving in ways you don’t quite understand.

And How to Support Your Child by Learning Skill Research shows that performance in academic skills is driven by Mindprint skills. When you see your child’s strengths and needs on Mindprint, you understand why they excel or struggle. And why it changes by subject. Even better, you know HOW TO HELP!


Who wouldn't want a “mind print” of their child?!? As an educator, its value is quite apparent. But, as a parent, it’s even more valuable. We parents spend time, energy, and huge sums of money trying to help our kids through modern academia. With a Mindprint, you have an invaluable tool to serve as guidepost for this all-important journey.

Students finally feel understood. They are relieved. Previously people have labeled them as unmotivated or that they didn’t care. Now they have confirmation of what it is that is holding them back. A student told me: ‘Yep, this is me on paper. I always knew I had some difficulties but I didn’t understand why. Now I do.’

Sam’s AP science grades have always been good but his ACT Science score was lower than we expected. His Mindprint Diagnostic Report gave us the reason. Although his abstract reasoning skills are strong (the key component of success on the science test), his spatial skills are less so. Sam’s Mindprint says his spatial perception could affect his ability to efficiently interpret graphs and charts. Furthermore, problems with spatial perception may have given Sam trouble when he was filling out an answer sheet under stressful timed-test conditions. We gave this information to his tutors who helped with strategies for graphs and charts as well as answer key mechanics. It really worked!
