History
In 1999, the All Kinds of Minds® Institute launched its Student Success Program™ to provide comprehensive learning assessments to students and their families. As the Chief Clinical Officer for the Student Success Program™, Dr. Beth Briere worked with Dr. Mel Levine and their colleagues at All Kinds of Minds to develop the non-labeling assessment model that is now used at Success in Mind. This model incorporates medical, psychological, and educational research to deliver an assessment that is able to pinpoint specific breakdown points in learning. It is continually refined to reflect developments in brain-based research and education.
From 1999-2006, the Student Success Program helped over 4,000 struggling students discover their strengths, identify their specific challenges, and develop strategies to address their learning difficulties. After many years of program development and refinement, Drs. Levine and Briere agreed that the Student Success Program™ was ready for independent operation. In February 2007, the Center for Student Success was established as an independent nonprofit organization. The Center for Student Success trains clinicians to use this model and also houses the learning assessment Center, Success in Mind.
Based in Durham, North Carolina, Success in Mind continues to work closely with Dr. Levine, All Kinds of Minds, and the Yellin Center for Student Success, located in New York City. These collaborations offer an exciting opportunity for Success in Mind to provide services to students who are deprived of success because of their own “wiring.”
