The Structure of Intellect (SOI) model asserts that there are multiple intelligence abilities that can be nurtured and built over time to impact positively a student's ability to learn. Originally based on the work of Dr. J.P. Guilford at the University of Southern California, the SOI paradigm was refined and applied to the educational system by Dr. Mary Meeker and Dr. Robert Meeker. The Meeker team created the first research-based cognitive and perceptual exercises proven to "train the brain" and thereby build intelligence abilities over time.

The SOI approach provides skill-development activities designed to improve a student's cognitive abilities. Cognitive abilities cover a broad spectrum of aptitudes, including comprehension, memory, deductive reasoning, symbol decoding, concept formation and other mental skills.

The SOI model has been proven and replicated by more than 50 years of research and application, and is now used in more than 500 schools through the Bridges Learning Systems program.

The Integrated Practice Protocol (IPP) method develops perceptual and motor skills that, if left unaddressed, can present barriers to learning and affect a student's comprehension, attention, focus and mindfulness.

Developed by Dr. Mary Meeker and Dr. Robert Meeker, IPP recognizes the role that perceptual and sensory integration skills play in the learning process together with cognition.

The IPP method identifies weaknesses in sensory integration and perceptual skills. These weaknesses are remediated through a customized program of skill-building activities. Fully developed sensory integration and perceptual skills pave the way for cognitive development. Together, the combination of cognition, sensory integration and perception serve as the foundation for successful learning.

"SuccessLab evaluates the whole child and addresses the underlying skills required for learning, SuccessLab is unique in that they look at the entire picture, incorporating visual, sensory and cognitive systems in addition to the academics."
— Dr. Robert R. Jacobs, a developmental optometrist based in McLean, Va.

In the No Child Left Behind era of increased accountability and focus on student performance, teachers and students are facing mounting pressures to perform. Yet teachers aren’t being equipped to address the wide diversity of skills and abilities that students bring to the classroom. In the race for higher test scores, some children either fall behind or find that they aren’t being challenged enough. Enter the tutoring companies. A $4 billion industry, tutoring today is big business. Unfortunately most conventional tutoring provides more of the same temporary solutions that address only the symptoms of the problem through more intensive teaching of one specific skill set. These services rely solely on content-focused teaching, rather than pinpointing the underlying or hidden learning obstacles that are causing your child to struggle.

Now, SuccessLab Learning Centers is the only retail tutoring chain licensed to provide educational programming incorporating the Structure of Intellect (SOI®) and Integrated Practice Protocol (IPP®) models of academic development. The SOI/IPP approach focuses on 43 separate cognitive, sensory and perceptual skills to determine how each student learns, where his or her skill levels are relative to where they should be and why. For students in pre-kindergarten through 12th grade, the result is a truly customized development program based on the five building blocks of successful learning.

Once we’ve assessed your child’s individual learning profile and addressed skills such as memory, focus, comprehension, problem solving, and judgment, students are far better equipped to absorb and retain content, including math, reading, language arts, science, history and other subjects. When fully built, the fundamental skills in cognition, perception and sensory integration are the groundwork for lifelong learning success.
