Feuerstein Method : We are delighted to bring this programme in from Israel

 

NZ needs a programme that:

• Is significantly researched

• Is an inclusive programme, not parallel

• Affordable to all students

• Non-Profit

 

Feuerstein does exactly that! The Feuerstein programme:

• is delivered daily to 800,000+ students in Europe

• is delivered in 80+ countries

• has been transforming children’s learning for 60 yrs

• has 3,000+ published, peer-reviewed research articles and case studies

• Not-For-Profit, fees are just $US35.00 per student

• Australian government has funded implementation in schools in Victoria

 

They evidence:

• how specific, cognitive tasks are increasing the IQ of a child. And can increase our own IQ.

• how our Learning Disabled children can access pivotal intervention exercises that increase learning capacity and return to mainstream classrooms – never to need Learning Support again.

• how our Brain Injured children can learn to function without Special Education support.

• how, instead of measuring a child’s knowledge, the ability to learn is evaluated first

• how intelligence is not fixed, but able to be developed.

• how intelligence can be taught, that intelligence is in fact the ability to learn.

 

The basic principle of the Feuerstein Method is that all of us – regardless of our age, disability or socio-economic background – have the ability to significantly improve our level of cognitive functioning and increase our IQ.

 

By identifying and targeting specific cognitive weaknesses, we can intervene and strengthen the weak cognitive capacities that affect our learning. We can ‘re-design’ our brains.
