Professor Reuven Feuerstein, Ph.D

The Man behind the Method.

World-renowned Cognitive Psychologist.
Chairman of the International Center for the Enhancement of Learning Potential (ICELP).

Reuven Feuerstein is best known for his internationally acclaimed, lifelong work of developing the theories and applied systems of:

  • Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM)
  • Mediated Learning Experience (MLE)
  • Dynamic Assessment – Learning Propensity Assessment Device (LPAD)
  • Instrumental Enrichment (FIE)
  • Shaping Modifying Environments (SME)

Feuerstein is recognized as one of the earliest voices to propose the radical notion that intelligence is not fixed, but rather modifiable. He was the first to develop systematic programs which support this theory and have been studied, employed, and validated all over the world.

It is iRi’s privilege to develop and distribute professional learning and student programs based on Professor Feuerstein’s research-rich, globally celebrated philosophies and activities.
