Dr. Lai is the founder of the Mind Measurement Education Association

Mr. Fritz Pang is a child psychologist with over 20 years experience from Hong Kong. He has been studying and practicing the work pioneered by Mary Lai for some years and adds more professional child development and education to this approach which also leans on the Howard E. Gardner's theories of multiple intelligences. Dr. Arnold Holtzman was very appreciative of Dr. Pang’s illuminating contributions at our 2004 conference in Las Vegas.
