Still Have Questions?

Here’s What Parents Are Saying

  • “We had a wonderful experience with Jana and Makenzie at Mind by Design. They were patient and accommodating and really care about a great outcome for the kids they work with. It wasn’t just a one and done assessment but rather an open dialogue of continued guidance, referrals, and support. Their services are invaluable.”

    PARENT

  • “Jana is an extremely well-trained and caring educator.

    I highly recommend her!”

    PARENT

  • “Jana Parker came highly recommended from our public school administrators when we needed our elementary-aged daughter evaluated and she exceeded our expectations. As novices to this process, she walked us through our options, and what approach we could take to get the evaluation completed. She built immediate trust and a connection with our daughter and moved her through the evaluation process with confidence and empathy. Her report was completed in a timely way and Jana followed up with great resources and recommendations for our family going forward.”

    PARENT

  • “We had both of our children spend time with Molly to get a better view of their strengths and challenges. While our children had a great time with her, more importantly, we felt that Molly listened carefully to our concerns and questions to design a testing strategy for each of them that would help us understand our children the best. After testing, she was also fantastic in laying out clear reports on findings and helping us think through options to support our children based on those findings.”

    PARENT

  • “As part of my professional role, I refer many private school families to have their students do private psychoeducational testing. While there are many options for families, in my extensive experience, Mind by Design is the best overall. Families who have been asked to support their child in this way are often a bit shell-shocked, trying to process that their child may have unique needs. The last thing they need is to be charged ridiculous amounts of money during their time of need. For many families I have referred, the astronomical price of testing has been a huge barrier, resulting in many, many students not ever getting the support that they needed to be successful. Not only do I appreciate the comparative value of Mind by Design, the personal touch, communication with schools, user-friendly final reports, and timely manner in the entire process make them my #1 choice for private psychoeducational testing. In fact, when it came time to have my own child evaluated, there was no other choice in my mind.”
