IE Course Structure
What is Instrumental Enrichment (IE) training?
IE comprises two programmes, IE Standard and IE Basic. Each programme targets different groups, with some overlap in age and content. IE Standard instruments are hierarchical and taught in a specific order and IE Basic offers a flexible approach. The decision to teach IE Standard, IE Basic, or to combine elements from both, is made by skilled IE practioners based on the needs of individual learners or groups.
IE Basic
IE Basic is designed for children approximately five to eight years old. IE Basic consists of ten instruments that cover a wide range of developmental skills. Some of these underpin IE Standard and others address different applications of thinking and reasoning. IE Basic comprises two training courses, Part 1 and Part 2.
IE Standard
IE Standard is suitable for children of approximately ten years and above. It has no upper age limits and can be applied with the elderly and other important client groups as a mediational tool for addressing brain trauma, injury or cognitive decline. The programme consists of fourteen Instruments which are arranged hierarchically to reinforce efficient modes of thinking. IE Standard comprises three courses, Levels 1, 2 and 3. Each level builds on the previous one.
