COGNiTiON Impact Survey

COGNiTiON Impact Survey

Believe it or not, Cognition Science and Discovery Center has been around for 9 years now! We are hoping an expansion is in our near future, but before we go any further we want to know how we're doing--have we had an impact on the families we aim to serve? How can we improve? And what would you like to see if we had a larger space? Very few questions are required so skip if needed-- but the more you tell us, the better we can become.
