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.

The context in which learning takes place is often just as important as the information that's being delivered. For that reason, we've developed innovative learning centers that feature: . A dynamic educational environment that doesn't rely on computers to do all of the teaching. Our instructors are equipped with the full resources to ensure an effective, motivating and rewarding experience for your child. |
