What Is The Feuerstein Method?

The Feuerstein Method is a unique approach that focuses on how to learn rather than on what to learn.

Grounded in the principles of cognitive modifiability and mediated learning, the Method teaches individuals to think more clearly, learn more effectively, and approach challenges with confidence.

Used in schools, clinics, rehabilitation centers, and homes in over 40 countries, the Feuerstein Method provides practical tools to support learners of all ages and abilities—especially those who have struggled with traditional approaches.

Why People LOVE Feuerstein

MONICA LAUGERUD (GUATEMALA)

I recently completed the LPAD Digital training with Yaniv Paz, and it was truly outstanding. He is an excellent teacher with a deep understanding of both the platform and the evaluation process. Yaniv is kind, patient, and very supportive, so I am confident that anyone who trains with him will feel comfortable and leave with a solid understanding of how to apply the tool, even if they are not particularly comfortable with technology. He also brings extensive knowledge in areas such as autism and PTSD, which enriches the training with valuable insights about mediation with different populations.

We begin with a belief system that all people have worth and a purpose in life. The Feuerstein Method builds thinking and learning skills - the HOW to learn instead of the WHAT to learn. It is not a counseling program (though counselors love to use it!) and it is not direct instruction or skill and drill. Rather, it uses a questioning approach that builds autonomous thinking skills in people of all ages.
