Briefly about the Feuerstein Method
Metoda Feuerstein a fost adusă și în Romînia în anul 2008, cînd fondatoarea Asociației Feuerstein, dna psiholog clinician dr. Otilia Todor de la Brasov, a promovat metoda în toate zonele țării ca fiind o tehnică în educație, dezvoltare si intervenție terapeutică, cu rezultate dovedite în domeniul clinic, educațional si organizațional.
The Feuerstein Method (FIE) is a mediated learning method, an educational tool that addresses both typical children and adults and people with disabilities.
The Feuerstein method stimulates the thinking process, develops learning ability in a structured and logical way.
La baza metodei se află principiul NEUROPLASTICITĂȚII ,care se refera la faptul că, inteligența este flexibilă, nu fixă. Neuroplasticitatea creierului se poate modifica pe tot parcursul vieții cu ajutorul MEDIERII (o tehnică cu etape clare si exerciții specifice).
The Feuerstein method is also addressed to children with neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g. mental deficiency associated or not, with: ADHD, impulse control disorder, anxiety disorders, autistic spectrum disorder, depressive disorder, bipolar disorder; specific learning disorders). .
It should be noted that the Feuerstein method develops autonomy, independence, thinking, visual transfer, inner motivation, sense of competence, attention, helps the child to distinguish between reality and imagination and to control impulsivity, develops analytical perception which is necessary in the learning process;
-The Feuerstein method is especially aimed at those who want simultaneous emotional, behavioural and cognitive development.
