Part 2 is individual and can be spread from December 2021 to March 2022. Each participant will use the LPAD Secondary Age Plus instruments to evaluate the learning potential of the child, record the assessment sessions and make recordings available to the Feuerstein Institute coach. The coach will provide individual feedback to each one of the participants by ZOOM. The participants will then write their LPAD reports and send them to the Feuerstein Institute coach.

If necessary the coach will request the revision of the reports and will then examine the final version.
