About the Seminar

This seminar is intended for professionals who want to better understand ADHD and executive functions through the lens of the Feuerstein Method. It offers an opportunity to explore current research, clarify common misconceptions, and gain practical tools for supporting children, adolescents, and adults with ADHD.

Participants will examine how ADHD relates to executive functions and how these challenges connect with Feuerstein’s Cognitive Functions. The seminar will also address how Mediated Learning Experience (MLE) can be used effectively with learners with ADHD, while considering the important relationship between cognitive, emotional, and behavioural aspects of learning.

This short but rich seminar is packed with meaningful content, practical insight, and special handouts to help participants build both their knowledge and confidence in supporting learners with ADHD.
