MILO's Benefits
Multiple intelligences
The MILO kit is inspired by Howard Gardner’s Theory of Multiple Intelligences. The eight intelligences MILO addresses can be taught, nurtured and strengthened. Because MILO helps children stay focused on one task at a time, caregivers may use the child’s stronger intelligences to awaken and strengthen developing intelligences.
