Director and Psychologist
“There is only one type of intelligence, in which the person reacts to at that moment, but from this one, many other authors have define their other ways of intelligence.”
Bernice Engracia
“helps the child move on from conflicts or phases that will make him feel better”Type of
Intelligence
Teacher
“Each child is a whole new world completely different, and they can demonstrate, maybe one child, one kind of intelligence and, another one, another kind, and as a teacher I have to realize what type of intelligence each student has, so that I could improve his learning.”.
