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.

Drawing from a robust curriculum tailored to each student's needs and learning style, our Content Mastery Programs are structured to fill in gaps in school subject areas and make learning more enjoyable. Topics are covered in individualized environments, with customized pacing to ensure that your child fully masters each lesson topic before proceeding to the next. The Content Mastery Program may be combined with SuccessLab's Cognitive & Perceptual Mastery Program or pursued on its own where specific instruction is required in:

. Math Skills
. Reading Skills
. Reading Comprehension
. Study Skills
. Writing Skills

After each learning session, every student's progress is reviewed by senior Education Directors using our SuccessLink tracking system. SuccessLink ensures that program adjustments can be made, as needed, along the way. Click here to contact SLLC for more information on our Content Mastery Program.
