WELCOME! The ICELP International Workshops introduce educators, psychologists and other
specialists to the theory and practice of Structural Cognitive Modifiability (SCM) and Mediated Learning
Experience (MLE) developed by Prof. Reuven Feuerstein.
For more than a quarter-century, the ICELP annual workshops
have made possible the training of a cadre of experienced
professionals in the use of dynamic assessment and
Instrumental Enrichment intervention for their students’ or
clients’ benefit.
Prof. Feuerstein's theory states that learning ability can be
significantly enhanced, regardless of age, nature, cause or
severity of condition. Clinical observations over decades have
shown that the development of thinking processes is highly
dependent on the nature and quality of the interaction within
which selected stimuli are mediated by parents, educators and others. Note: All workshops incorporate
an introduction or review of the theories of Structural Cognitive Modifiability and Mediated Learning
Experience.
8-11 July 2007 | Fee: €450
►Mediated Learning Experience for Parents
This introductory workshop is intended for those parents who
wish to learn about the basic principles of the theories of
Structural Cognitive Modifiability and Mediated Learning
Experience and their applied systems.
An overview of the criteria of mediation, deficient cognitive
functions will be given together with the illustration of how
these theoretical tools can be used in assessment and
intervention with special needs children; workshops on how
to mediate to a child; and live demonstration of the Learning
Potential Assessment Device.
 Course Code: MLEP004
 Duration: 24 hours (July 8, 15:0019:00; July 9-10, 8:30-16:45; July
11, 8:30-12:00).
 Participants will receive the MLE
manual for parents.
Learning Potential Assessment Device (LPAD)
The LPAD is a system of dynamic assessment of cognitive
modifiability, structured as a mediational interaction. Its
primary goal is to produce a sample of change in the
cognitive structure of the individual to serve as an indicator of
the individual’s learning potential and point out the optimal
modes of necessary intervention.
LPAD can be applied as an individual clinical technique and
with groups of children, adolescents and adults with diverse
levels of functioning and differing etiological conditions.
This course is intended for professionals in the following
fields: psychology, education, speech and occupational
therapy, and other clinical areas.
ICELP 28th Summer Workshops in Paris • Page 2 of 11

made for professionals with
previous assessment experience.
 Applicants are encouraged to
read in advance the theoretical
material available on the ICELP
website (Research> Basic>

Group LPAD assessment is intended for large groups of
learners such as whole school classes, groups of adults and

analysis in terms of both individual modifiability and group
modifiability profile. An additional advantage of the group
assessment is that it is closer to real-life class situations (as
compared to one-to-one assessments).
The course will include a study of the group-version battery
of LPAD tools, analysis of the results at an individual and a
group level, computerized analysis of the assessment
results, report writing, and development of individual and
group recommendations.

Raven Matrices, Set Variations, Trimodal Analogies,
Complex Figure, Positional Learning, Lahi, Numerical
Progressions, Organizer, RSDT.
