Mediated learning is central to the Feuerstein theory and practice.
With MLE, the mediator assists learners to interpret incoming stimuli so that they can have a better understanding of the events, objects and people in their environment. The work is based on a positive belief system that all learners can change the way in which they think and learn.
Research in neuroplasticity confirms that cognitive structures and neural pathways in the brain can change and be modified through education, and that IQ scores are not fixed.
MLE supports individual learners and groups of learners of all ages in developing their learning and thinking skills.

We are experienced and qualified in dynamic assessment which determines which cognitive functions are still developing, and assess an individuals propensity to be modified - in other words - What areas need to be developed and how much development is likely to be possible in an individual.
Instrumental Enrichment (IE)
Instrumental Enrichment (IE)
Instrumental Enrichment (IE)
Instrumental Enrichment (IE) is a cognitive intervention program and tool for systematic thinking, developing strategies for learning and "learning to learn". Through making one aware of their own thinking processes it is possible to develop higher order thinking operations. The cognitive concepts and principles embedded in the exercises are created explicitly to develop higher order thinking operations and metacognition.
Transcendence and Bridging
Instrumental Enrichment (IE)
Instrumental Enrichment (IE)
Learners are encouraged to bridge the concepts and principles (or strategies) they have acquired into class work, daily life, and home and social situations. . Participants engage in thinking processes or operations such as planning, problem-solving, self-regulation, critical and creative thinking and exploring different points of view
