In 1998, Joe Ford started Mindworks Learning Institute while tutoring students with learning problems and also working with individuals who had suffered head injury. This gave him an unprecedented opportunity to observe the relationship between the processes of learning and the brain. These experiences compelled Joe to find a program which developed the cognitive and processing skills needed for learning. Our Cognitive Programs (Cognitive Programs) are the result of Joe's quest and the beginning of a rewarding history of helping students who struggle to learn.
Today, Mindworks continues to offer real hope to families who have been given a diagnosis of learning problems and need real help. Mindworks offers a full complement of learning opportunities which meet the needs of families with students of all ages, learning styles and learning environments. Combining academic preparation with training in critical thinking and learning skills remains key to all Mindworks services.
