This paper presents "A Way to Grow": An Eidetic Model of Growth for Intellectual Disability. This model is based on the
philosophical tenets of Eidetic Psychotherapy and their applications in learning (e.g., Ahsen, 1968, 1993). Based on the ISM
(Image-Somatic response-Meaning) triple code model of imagery (Ahsen, 1984a; Hochman,2002), "A Way to Grow" addresses
behavioural problems and emotional conflicts and enhances the participation of individuals with ID in productive activities. It
utilizes a two-pronged approach: first, to create an environment in which individual growth is possible, leading to improved life
functioning and independent community living; and second, to address experiential and emotional problems in the lives of people with
ID thorough eidetic techniques that are suitable and convenient not only for use by frontline staff in services for people with ID,
but also by parents and teachers.
