QWERTY Education Services Learning Profile Assessment
Powered By Mindprint
Whether your child is struggling or thriving, the QWERTY Learning Profile Assessment will provide useful insights for you to share with your child’s teachers.
Truly Understand And Support Your Child’s Learning Needs
The QWERTY Learning Profile Assessment is designed to illuminate strengths and challenge areas in your child’s thinking. When your child’s cognitive profile is revealed, your ability to help them to understand their own learning improves. This supports better collaboration between you, your child, and your child’s teachers.
Understanding Leads To Confidence And Confidence Leads To Success And Progress
Students that know their strengths, how to use them, and when to ask for help are the one’s that finding lasting success in both school and life. A QWERTY Learning Profile Assessment can help identify areas of giftedness and challenge and can set the foundation for the self-knowledge that is critical to success.
QWERTY is partnering with Mindprint Learning, creator of an online version of a cognitive test developed by neuroscientists at the Brain Behavior Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine.
Mindprint’s online testing solution uses objective cognitive data to reveal how students learn best and provide personalized learning strategies for each student.
The QWERTY Learning Profile Assessment measures ten skills to reveal how your child learns best:
Getting started is a snap!
Every Student Can Benefit From A QWERTY Learning Profile Assessment
The MindPrint Assessment, coupled with QWERTY’s analysis will provide you with a guide to the inner workings of your child’s brain.
MindPrint is the only online assessment tool that identifies how your child learns by measuring their top ten skills across the four domains of complex reasoning, executive functions, memory and processing speed.
These ten underlying skills function as a “seat” from which learning is driven. The four domains act as the legs of that seat. Knowing which legs need support and using the right tools to strengthen them puts you and your child in the education “driver’s seat”!
Through careful analysis, QWERTY’s Director of Education will provide personalized strategies by subject matter, approaches for improving homework efficiency, and recommendations to share with your child’s learning team.
You will also gain access to a toolkit of more than 500 research-based learning strategies to provide ongoing support for your child for an entire year.
Once your child understands how they learn, they will be on their way to becoming confident, capable and self-directed learners. Isn’t that what we all want for our kids?
You’re a savvy parent that observes your child’s learning on a daily basis. With data-informed insight into your child’s learning variability, you won’t be left guessing or using a frustrating trial-and-error approach in helping them.
We know that every child learns differently. Everything that we do at QWERTY is built on that simple acknowledgement and understanding. Now we can provide an affordable cognitive assessment that empowers your child with the precise strategies to help them unlock more of their potential.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Is this LPA the same as a psychoeducational assessment? Expand
No. While the assessment does not replace a Psychoeducational Assessment, it does provide valuable information in simplified language so that parents, coaches, and teachers can understand your child’s unique learning needs and how their strengths and needs impact their academic performance. The experts at MindPrint have taken the time to explain these terms so that you can specifically understand how they impact learning and life skills.
What is the MindPrint Cognitive Assessment? Expand
MindPrint Learning is the only K12 solution that uses objective cognitive data to teach students how they learn best and provide strategies personalized to students’ learning strengths and needs. Just like a fingerprint, each student has a unique “MindPrint” that provides clear insight into how a student learns most efficiently and what supports they need to succeed. At the core of MindPrint is an hour-long online, self-administered cognitive assessment developed at the University of Pennsylvania’s Perelman School of Medicine.
Why is this LPA the most efficient option for cognitive screening? Expand
While no tool can replace thorough observation from a skilled professional, there are often lengthy wait times (sometimes upwards of 6 months) to receive a cognitive evaluation of a preferred practitioner. Costs typically range from $1500 – $5000, depending on service and location.
Our LPA is an affordable first step that can offer a useful solution while awaiting a full cognitive evaluation and can certainly assist in identifying which practitioner speciality might be most appropriate based on MindPrint’s objective data, coupled with QWERTY’s thoughtfully evaluated input.
Will this LPA indicate if my child is gifted? Expand
No. The LPA measures 10 cognitive skills and will indicate if your child excels in one or more areas of learning or Executive Function Skills. This information can then be shared with educators and other experts in your child’s support team to determine if further exploration is required, or what accommodations can be considered as part of your child’s learning program.
Will this LPA indicate if my child has a learning disability? Expand
No. Only an in-person evaluation by a licensed clinician can lead to a medical diagnosis of a learning disability. The LPA measures 10 cognitive skills and will indicate if your child struggles in any area, or demonstrates a deficit as compared to their peers. Completing a LPA will provide you with important information to take the next step and make informed decisions on how to best support your child.
What is the difference between a learning difference and a learning disability? Expand
Most frequently, clinicians and schools use the term “learning disability” to indicate a diagnosis that qualifies for accommodations. Some parents, students, and teachers, including the team here at QWERTY, prefer the term “learning difference” because it conveys your child’s ability to succeed.
What is involved in completing this LPA? Expand
Your child will perform the LPA online at home. There are NO reading passages and NO math computations. Students who have taken the LPA have described it as “a series of puzzles” and typically say “it was actually really fun”.
The LPA takes about 45 – 60 minutes to complete and the program provides brain breaks between areas of focus.
The LPA includes a personalized follow-up session with QWERTY’s Director to ask any questions and discuss any concerns specific to your child’s MindPrint results.
What is included in this LPA? Expand
Upon completion of the LPA through QWERTY, you will receive:
- Your comprehensive MindPrint assessment, an incredible tool QWERTY employs that measures cognitive skills in 4 core areas: reasoning, executive functions, memory, and speed.
- Complete access to your results: MindPrint Profile, Learner Profile, and Academic Profile.
- A one-on-one consultation with QWERTY’s Director (a certified, MindPrint-trained, experienced educator) to review results and provide specific recommendations just for your child.
- Simple translation of MindPrint’s results, making your next step(s) easy to interpret and understand.
- A summary document created by QWERTY’s Director to provide your child’s learning team with a “quick snapshot” of strengths, needs, and recommendations.
- Additional strategies, recommendations, and resources, uniquely personalized for your student.
How does this LPA improve academic outcomes (grades)? Expand
The LPA explains how your child learns best, and identifies areas where your child needs support, how this affects different subjects and areas of learning, and what evidence-based strategies your child can utilize to succeed.
How was this LPA developed? Expand
MindPrint’s LPA was developed by physicians and researchers in the Brain Behaviour Laboratory at the Perelman School of Medicine, University of Pennsylvania. The MindPrint assessment has been tested in over 100,000 participants worldwide, including NASA astronauts.
Administration of the evaluation provides an incredibly accurate understanding of your child’s cognitive strengths and needs relative to their peers and offers the best prediction of academic performance and socio-economic success.
QWERTY has partnered with MindPrint and added decades of educator experience to provide you with a comprehensive assessment, including the ability to discuss and ask questions in a personalized follow-up session (a $250 value!).
How is this LPA different from other online cognitive tests? Expand
MindPrint offers the only fully online valid and normed online cognitive test for children between the ages of 8 and 21. Unless results of a cognitive test are interpreted in the context of an appropriate peer group relative to your child, they are likely to be inaccurate. If you are considering an alternative to MindPrint, you may want to investigate who created the test, under what conditions, and if scores are based on a large sample of children, and are properly normed and validated. To be assured the alternative evaluation is valid, you will want to investigate the peer-reviewed research on the alternative.
Are my results confidential? Expand
Yes. Both MindPrint and QWERTY are committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of its users, adhering to strict privacy and security standards. The results of your MindPrint evaluation belong strictly to the account holder, and individual results will never be shared by MindPrint. Both MindPrint and QWERTY do not sell, lease, or rent you or your child’s personal information to anyone, for any reason, at any time. Both MindPrint and QWERTY are fully committed to maintaining the confidentiality, integrity and security of its users.
