An Important Report on IE

Dear Friends,

The linked document represents a unique, important, and explicit illustration of a cognitive education program for parents and teachers in progress.

The first document was written by the individual who implemented this program in San Jose, CA., Dr. David S. Martin. The second and third were unsolicited reports by parents who were full participants in the program and have leadership within the organization that sponsored and partially funded this program SVDSN (Silicon Valley Down’s Syndrome Network) in collaboration with the Valley Medical Center Foundation, San Jose, CA. Also included are research reports by IRI in Alaska (preschool progress report on IE Basic) and a summary of an international research study on the effects of Instrumental Enrichment (IE) on children with
developmental disabilities. The IE Basic and IE Standard Programs could be the basis for true educational change. The IE programs also promote improved social interaction between participants and others.

This information is being forwarded to a diverse constituency of parents, educators, and non-educators, etc.

We invite your response.
