Therefore every individual is modifiable if adequately mediated. You are not born intelligent, but you become!
Neither autism, nor aging, nor ADHD, nor brain injury, nor genetic conditions, and more, can prevent people from increasing their intelligence by improving their ability to learn.

In the educational relationship the Specialist does not give answers but directs and directs to the analysis of the thought processes put in place during the resolution of problems: The metacognitive awareness of one’s own way of learning allows to transfer in other situations the skills possessed or acquired in training and initiates the autonomous use of thought.
Ways? Sessions with frequency of at least 2 times a week, depending on the need.
