The Feuerstein Method
The Feuerstein Method helps individuals achieve their potential by teaching them how to learn. It’s a process-oriented approach that identifies learning challenges, analyzes them, and resolves them through systematic intervention. This is done through a process called Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), which uses dynamic assessment (LPAD) and a cognitive intervention program (Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment).
