Feuerstein’s Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) at the Hope Centre
Continuous Professional Development Courses 2015- 2016
FIE Standard
IE Standard is a series of structured paper-and-pencil exercises that gradually
increase in levels of difficulty and abstraction. The materials are organized into
workbooks called “instruments” and each instrument focuses on a specific cognitive
area such as analytic perception, comparison, classification, orientation in space and
time, and so on. They may include verbal, mathematical, logical and even emotional
skills, depending upon the needs of the learner. Learners are guided through the
tasks by a mediator who helps them develop strategies for problem solving and
analytic thinking that they can then carry on into the rest of their lives.
IE Standard can be used in a classroom or workplace setting, with small groups of
targeted learners, and as a one-to-one therapeutic intervention.
IE Standard consists of 14 instruments in all.
IE training is offered in two formats:


Divided into two parts: IE-1 and IE-2
Divided into three parts: IE-1 [of 3], IE-2 [of 3], IE-3 [of 3].
