Special Needs

How do we build the cognitive capabilities of children with Special Needs?”

“How do we most effectively integrate our children in a mainstream classroom?”

“How do we develop lifelong thinking and learning skills?”

“How do we encourage our children to realize their learning potential for 21st century success?

 

iRi offers customized applications of FIE geared to the Special Needs population depending on the specific functioning level of your children. We work with educators of those who function at the 3-year-old level and higher. Please note IQ scores have nothing to do with this methodology.
