Dr. Jeanne Zehr of East Allen County (IN) Public Schools, recently offered an overview of Instrumental Enrichment Basic - for younger children - as part of an all-day conference on dealing with the cognitive effects of lead-poisoning in urban children, held in Hartford, Connecticut. I.E. is considered to be an appropriate intervention for children with these challenges. We hope to post the particular excerpt of her presentation on this blog, in the mean time you may access video of the whole conference by clicking here

NEW RESEARCH ON I.E.BASIC SHOWS POSITIVE RESULTS
A newly published research study in the journal Research in Development Disabilities reports that Instrumental Enrichment Basic produced significant improvement in a variety of children with special needs. Children who had intellectual impairments based on genetics, ADHD, autism, and developmental disabilities showed big gains in similarities, picture completion, piecture arrangement, and pattern determination after 30-45 weeks of work with I.E. They were compared with children who only had general occupational therapy and sensori-motor therapy. Greater gains were noted in children who had the program where teachers were fully committed to mediated learning. Click here to access the full article.
