“Molly is brilliant, knowledgeable, thorough, helpful, empathetic and kind. I cannot say enough good things about MindPrint & Molly and the process my son went through in working through his ADHD assessment and process mapping. It has been emotionally draining prior to working with Molly. We have hope again! She takes a full person approach, which I appreciate and my son has a renewed confidence I haven’t seen in years. Shout out to AASS and Molly. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!”

Most school tests assess academic skills and achievement, which focus on WHAT a student know. Cognitive skills focus on HOW a student learns, understands and recalls information. All children deserve the opportunity to understand how they learn best, and MindPrint shows them by testing the skills that allow them to learn across all subjects.
Unlike school achievement tests, students are not tested on reading or math. Instead, students are taken through a series of computerized, adaptive activities. Many students remark that the assessment is a series of puzzles and it is fun to do! There is nothing that children need to do to prepare for the test.

Absolutely not! Most students would only find value in taking the assessment every 3 years. However, if a student has started a medication that may impact learning, such as an ADHD medication, then doing an updated assessment can be done in approximately a year.
