The goal of parental training and guidance is to increase the parents’ awareness of the importance of the Mediated Learning Experience as an active and effective tool for improving their children’s cognitive, social and emotional development.

Parents are offered various methods of activity to improve their children’s development through interaction during normal, daily life activities. Training and counseling is offered in several formats:

• Annual open parental conferences
• Counseling in small groups for parents of children with specific problems
• Individual counseling

In addition, parents are given printed guidance materials that explain the theory of cognitive modifiability and mediated learning and provide practical recommendations for interaction with children.

The program is supported by the Shulamit Iosupovici Fund
