Most professional training teaches practitioners new techniques. Our training teaches them a new way of seeing, grounded in a rigorous account of how human cognition actually works and how skilled mediation can change it.
Drawing on Feuerstein's Mediated Learning Experience and Lonergan's philosophy of intentional consciousness, our training program equips practitioners to position themselves as genuine cognitive mediators, not just guides or advisors, but active participants in their clients' cognitive development.
Training is experiential, theoretically rigorous, and practically grounded. You will leave with frameworks you can apply immediately, and perspectives that will continue to develop for years.
"The mediator doesn't teach content, they teach the person how to learn."
Professionals who want to practice cognitive therapy in schools, learning centers, or private practice.
Teachers who want to move beyond content delivery and actively develop their students' thinking.
Parents are a child's first mediators. Training helps parents intentionally guide their child's thinking and support the development of strong learning habits at home.
Instrumental Enrichment Basic was developed as a program of cognitive education for young children and learners who require foundational thinking skills before formal academic learning.
The program consists of structured instruments, each designed to strengthen cognitive functions necessary for early learning in areas such as mathematics, literacy, and social interaction.
Therapists learn to mediate the learner's interaction with these instruments, guiding students to develop essential thinking processes that support readiness for school learning.
Each instrument involves structured tasks that help learners:
As students work through the instruments, the tasks gradually increase in complexity and abstraction, strengthening cognitive functions that serve as prerequisites for successful academic learning.
The Cognitive Enrichment program extends the principles of mediated learning to older students and adults. These courses train therapists to use a series of structured cognitive instruments designed to develop higher-level thinking abilities.
The program focuses on strengthening the mental operations required for complex learning, including:
Through guided interaction with the instruments, learners develop greater cognitive flexibility, independence, and problem-solving ability.
The training sequence unfolds across three levels:
Introduces the foundations of mediated learning and the first set of instruments used to develop core thinking processes such as comparison, classification, and systematic perception.
Expands the learner's cognitive repertoire by introducing instruments that develop analytical reasoning, logical organization, and multi-step problem solving.
Focuses on advanced cognitive operations, strengthening abstract thinking, strategic planning, and complex reasoning skills that support academic, professional, and lifelong learning.
Together, these courses prepare therapists to help learners move beyond memorization and develop the mental structures that support independent thinking and intellectual growth.
