This week (May 28, 2023), Dr. Jeanne Zehr will be the guest lecturer for the weekly Webinars from the Feuerstein Institute. In her lecture Measuring Cognitive Process, Dr. Zehr will explore methods of developing Feuerstein’s 28 cognitive functions in mediates. Then we will go a step beyond and also discuss the methods of measuring cognitive growth by scoring the cognitive functions and noting Feuerstein’s microchanges. This lecture is appropriate for mediators in-home, school-based, and/or clinical settings. Please use this link to register for the zoom. All NAFA Members are fully invited–the link will also tell when it will be for our respective time zones—for example, for Eastern Time Zone, the time will be 12 noon, etc. See you there!

A Professional Identity and a Professional Home for Special Educators: "Cognitive Education Specialists" by Dr. Gwen Kinard
2023-05-18 20:00 - 22:00 (America/New_York)
This presentation will:
1) Give an historical overview of disabilities and the struggle for policy that would include students with disabilities to have access to a free and appropriate public education (FAPE).
2) Argue that while students, by Federal Law/policy now have FAPE, they will never actually fully receive it in reality, because as a nation, the culture of schooling in the United States does not recognize how best to serve the real need of students with disabilities, regardless of the label or category assigned to them.
3) Propose a solution to this complex and frustrating problem, the creation of Cognitive Education Specialists.
Your link will be sent the week before and the day of the webinar. Do not miss this one!
