My work as an educational therapist is student-centered and focuses on mediating, collaborating and coaching students to understand how they think and learn. The intellectual underpinnings of this process draws on research from a variety of disciplines— psychology, education, neurobiology, sports and art—all disciplines that seek to explore how we perceive, learn, think and express ourselves. This sets a student up with the skills they need for school, lifelong learning and success In this role, I focus on: • Cognition—understanding how we think and perceive • Meta-cognition—understanding how we strategize and plan • Memory—understanding how we retain information as we build our knowledge base • Pragmatics—understanding how to be more efficient and implementing effective strategies to manage time and effort. My results are based on mediating the learning experience. As a Feuerstein practitioner, I believe in the effectiveness of the mediated learning theory. I often use the Instrumental Enrichment instruments to explore abstract problem solving and bridging newly acquired awareness and skills to content. For example, working systematically on the Organization of Dots instrument provides an opportunity to understand impulsive behaviors, such as spontaneously jumping to the wrong conclusion, or answering a question before it’s asked. The communication involved with students mediates their experience of their perception, allowing them to develop alternative ways to think and behave. They achieve sustainable improvement How extensively the IE instruments are used is student and situation dependant. My training as an Educational Therapist and Feuerstein practitioner conveniently coincide with my personal experience of learning difference, and allow me to understand the effects of learning differences on performance from an insider’s perspective. Hence, my goal is to help students avoid the pain and suffering learning differences can impose on us in so many complex ways. I try and move beyond the labels attached to learning disability by the medical establishment, at the same time acknowledging their veracity, hence mediating a fresh new perspective of self. This more effective self carries on with life.

The Perceptual Enrichment Program (PEP) is a short-term program of sequentially designed, hands-on tasks. The program fosters academic and practical problem solving, and integrates the ability to receive, organize and use information. PEP combines readily with other ongoing therapies and educational activities. It enhances the assimilation of related skills such as: gross and fine motor planning, self-esteem, problem solving skills, time management and creativity. PEP works through the visual amd motor systems to establish efficient functioning and to improve preplanning, planning, and execution of higher level thinking skills. It assists in balancing the individual's thinking approach to consider both the "big picture" and "details". Motor function, emotional development, and language interweave to form perception. Sometimes, however, during critical stages, an individual will withdraw in response to trauma or illness and miss out on essential developmental opportunities. Although people often invent skills to compensate for developmental gaps, these compensations become inadequate and fail as academic challnges increase in complexity. PEP helps to fill in these gaps, supporting the development of individual potential. It expands self-confidence, curiosity, and interet in grasping many intellectual challenges. It also increases openness to resolving social and emotional conflicts, and strengthens self-esteem. PEP therapy typically begins with a pretest to determine appropriateness of the therapy and to establish a baseline against which to measure progress. If developmental gaps are evident, PEP therapy begins. Each session includes manipulatives or papaerwork for cognitive or perceptual practice from eight skill areas. Every lesson in concluded with a fun, related activity to enhance assimilation of the newly acquired skill. Upon completion of the program, a post-test is given and the results are compared to the pretest. If additional work is needed, based on the post-test results, another level of PEP is available. Individuals benfit from PEP who experience functional difficulty in various cognitive and perceptual skills including: Concentration, Organization, Handwriting and spatial planning, Behavior, Motor planning, Bilateral motor coordination, Processing and integrating information, Understanding new concepts, Language processing, Memory, High intelligence-low functioning, and Academic performance.

I pay very close attention to an individual's learning strengths and needs to gear the sessions to an optimal format. Sometimes someone prefers hands-on practice rather than writing until s/he feels safe. Sometimes shorter activities yield more productivity if someone is hesitant about putting forth effort. My lessons are designed to be fun, creative, engaging, and flexible, with mastery of the daily learning objective. Specific strategies applying multi-sensory instruction also guides students to strengthen their memory, attention, comprehension, and motivation. Multi-sensory, direct instruction in Reading, Writing, Math, and other subjects are infused with Study Skills, Social Skills, and self-regulation strategies. Other services include Screenings, IEP consultations, visual art, collaboration and art integration with school stakeholders. Consultations with teachers regarding explicit differentiated teaching, inclusive practices, accommodations, and adaptations are emphasized. With motivation and desire to learn, a strengths-based approach while demystifying learning, builds confidence and skills needed to fill the gaps as well as to propel forward!
