“All of us concerned with autism, parents, professionals and autistics alike, often speak of presuming competence and realizing the potential of individuals with autism, but how to do this is a formidable challenge every step of the way and at every stage on a lifelong journey. It is the brilliant legacy of Professor Reuven F,euerstein whose unshakable belief in human modifiability offers us further direction regardless of the cause or severity of the condition, or the age of the individual.

It was a great honor to know Prof. Feuerstein, a giant amongst giants, to have the opportunity to learn his theory, to study his comprehensive methodology and assessments, to follow his research, and to discuss our challenges as well as similarities and differences in working with autism. But it was never enough! Reading this new book presented by Rafael Feuerstein and the reflective therapists of the program is an exceptional opportunity to deepen understanding of his legacy in a clear and concise form, enriched by numerous attuned and insightful case examples illustrating his revolutionary approach not only to cognition but the whole child and family and how it can reawaken and advance development at all ages.

Whether you are familiar with Prof. Reuven F,euerstein, or new to his work, this book allows all related disciplines and parents to pursue outcome goals by sharing a conceptual framework of the learning mechanisms that reveal individual potential, provide hope and pave pathways into the future.”
