Abstract	Decades before educators began to draw teaching and learning implications from neuroscientists' groundbreaking findings on brain plasticity, Reuven Feuerstein had already theorized it and developed practices for teaching and developing higher-level cognition and learning for all students, including those with Down syndrome and other learning disabilities. His mediated learning, enrichment instruments, and dynamic assessment are used in urban districts in the United States and around the world to raise student achievement, success levels, and self-regulation. In this final work, Feuerstein provides a first-person reflective narrative of the implementation of mediated learning experience (MLE) past and present, including stories, new insights, observations, and newly formulated concepts on MLE and how it contributes to higher-level thinking and to overcoming disability. Featuring both educational and clinical case examples, it offers a more detailed picture of its practical applications than any other publication to date. Those familiar with Feuerstein's methods will find this book an important resource for deepening their knowledge. It is also essential reading for all educators looking for approaches that promote thinking skills that improve educational outcomes for diverse learners. This book: (1) Provides stories of Feuerstein's inspirational journey as a teacher and learner, often working with special needs children and youth; (2) Relates mediated learning to contemporary learning environments; (3) Explores theory and research on whether spiritual and behavioral practices change the brain; and (4) Includes chapters devoted to questioning techniques and the effects of modern media access to the development of thinking skills.
