Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment Program. The Feuerstein Method teaches the vitally important and often overlooked skill of learning how to learn. Our unique educational technique combines specially designed instruments and mediated learning experiences in order to identify and enhance an individual’s propensity for learning. As a result, our learners gain the knowledge and tools required to reach beyond their manifest abilities.
Dweck’s Growth Mindset Materials. Individuals can shift their mindset about intelligence from fixed (that intelligence is not modifiable) to growth (that intelligence can be modified through hard work). As people shift their mindsets it allows for more effort and motivation to persist in the face of obstacles. Through introducing learners to the research of Dr. Carol Dweck, we help them evaluate their mindsets so that they can work on shifting their mindsets as needed.
Integrated Listening System™, Interactive Metronome®, and more. Programs like these positively impact neurological aspects of a learner’s brain by helping to improve things like sensory integration and the firing rate of neurons.
“I found this training very useful in home, social and work aspects of my life. The material has fundamentally altered how I will relate to my teenager.”

“Knowing that I can drastically change a child's mind for the better using these instruments gives me, as a teacher, a tremendous responsibility.”
- Rachel Stratton, Lutheran South Unity School, Fort Wayne, IN
“Dear Jeanne, thank you again for a week full of insight, wisdom and great fun on the FIE Basic last week. Each day I felt like I was filled to the brim with practical knowledge that has to potential to grow minds and change lives. It really was inspiring to hear stories of Reuven Feuerstein himself - what a brilliant man, huge heart - as well as your own incredible stories of mediating with these instruments in America and around the world. Thank you for putting your heart and soul into the week. You conveyed a real spark and energy. As mentioned last week, I have already started mediating Amelia on the Dots and Isabel on Identifying the Emotions.”
