Unlock Your Child’s
Thinking Potential
Cognitive enrichment for ages 8–13 through the proven methods of
Professor Reuven Feuerstein.
What is ThinkingWorks USA?
ThinkingWorks USA facilitates the acquisition of thinking processes that are critical for effective learning. Based on exercises developed by Professor Reuven Feuerstein—whose groundbreaking work in Cognitive Modifiability has influenced education for decades—our program empowers children to become aware of their thinking and develop deeper cognitive skills.
Like physical education trains the body, our methods train the mind—boosting academic success through structured thinking.
Designed for Struggling Students
Our target audience is students between the ages of 8–13 who are academically underperforming. These children often need help not just with content, but with how they learn. We teach metacognition—thinking about their thinking—to help them unlock their own learning potential.
Strategies based on the Feuerstein Method
The Feuerstein Method is a unique educational technique developed by world-renowned psychologist Reuven Feuerstein.
It helps individuals achieve their potential by teaching them how to learn. A process-oriented approach that identifies learning challenges, it analyzes them, and resolves them through systematic intervention. This is done through a process called Mediated Learning Experience (MLE), which uses dynamic assessment (LPAD) and a cognitive intervention program (Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment).
