Our Methods
At Cognitive Connections, we believe that every child can learn when given the right tools and strategies.
That’s why we use evidence-based methods that go beyond traditional tuition:
The Feuerstein Method – to strengthen thinking and problem-solving skills.
The Barton Reading & Spelling System – to build a strong foundation in literacy for children with dyslexia and related challenges.
Feuerstein Method
The Feuerstein Instrumental Enrichment (FIE) program focuses on how to think, not just what to learn. It equips children with strategies to:
Process information in a structured, organized way
Develop self-control and planning skills
Strengthen problem-solving and logical thinking
Build confidence in learning
Used worldwide in schools and learning centers, the Feuerstein Method helps children become independent, flexible learners.
The Barton Reading and Spelling System
The Barton System is a structured, multisensory, evidence-based approach designed specifically for children with dyslexia or reading difficulties. It provides step-by-step instruction to:
Master phonemic awareness and decoding
Improve spelling accuracy and fluency
Strengthen reading comprehension
Build lifelong literacy skills
With Barton, children don’t just “catch up” – they gain the tools to succeed confidently in school and beyond.
Why These Methods?
Both methods complement each other. Feuerstein develops the thinking pathways needed for learning. Barton provides the structured literacy skills children need to thrive. Together, they give children the confidence and ability to succeed academically and personally.
