Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) Program

Developed by Reuven Feuerstein (Israel)

The Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) program is a research-based, mediated learning approach designed to strengthen thinking, learning, and problem-solving skills. It focuses not on academic content, but on how the brain processes information, helping learners become more efficient, flexible, and independent thinkers.

At BVerve, FIE is delivered as an intensive, structured intervention led by trained and experienced clinicians.

Benefits of the FIE Program

Through guided mediation and carefully designed exercises, students develop essential cognitive skills that support success across settings.

Core Skills Developed

  • Process Information Effectively
  • Think Critically and Logically
  • Identify Patterns and Connections
  • Visualise Spatial and Temporal Relationships
  • Improve Clarity of Thought and Communication
  • Strengthen Planning, Organisation, and Self-Regulation

These core thinking skills are foundational for academic achievement, social competence, and professional success.

How the Program Is Delivered

  • Conducted One-on-One or in Small Groups
  • Structured, Research-Backed Curriculum
  • Active Mediation Approach – The clinician guides thinking rather than giving answers
  • Adaptive Sessions – Adjusted in real time based on learner responses and emerging needs

What Makes FIE Unique?

Because the program is administered by a trained clinician, areas of cognitive weakness can be identified and addressed as they emerge during sessions. Specific cognitive functions are gently challenged and strengthened through targeted instruments and mediated dialogue.

This approach not only enhances thinking skills but also leads to:

  • Improved Self-Confidence
  • Better Emotional and Behavioural Regulation
  • Increased Independence in Learning and Problem-Solving

Who Should Enrol?

The FIE program is especially beneficial for:

  • Students transitioning from middle school to high school or high school to college
  • Students preparing for or aiming to improve performance on college placement and achievement tests
  • Learners facing challenges related to:
  • Dyslexia
  • Attention and focus difficulties
  • Impulsivity
  • Test anxiety
  • ADD / ADHD
  • Difficulties in Mathematics or Reading

Building Strong Thinkers for Lifelong Learning

The Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment Program helps learners move beyond limitations by strengthening the thinking processes that drive learning—empowering them to adapt, succeed, and grow with confidence.
