Instrumental Enrichment
 

Rueven Feuerstein is the developer of the theory of Structural Cognitve Modifiability. Rueven's theory is that there are no retarded individuals just retarded performers. They have not had sufficient mediated learning experiences to benefit from teaching. This is the thoery behind the program that I teach called Instrumental Enrichment. It teaches how to think by providing mediated learning experiences using engaging, thought provoking activities. The program enriches cognitive functions and improves logical thinking. It is made up of 14 instruments that teach specific cognitive skills.  To read more about this fascinating theory and program go to the International Center for the Enhancement of Learning Potential.
The instruments are:

Ogranization of Dots

Orientation of Space I
Comparison
Analytic Perception

Family Relations
