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.

 

"We cannot thank you enough for your time and professional assessment of our daughter this afternoon. I feel a new lease on life, for her especially. Now that we have identified the cause of her reading challenge, we cannot wait to start implementing the solution to get her on the path to reading success, increased self confidence, and motivation."

Our assessment methods are the best in the industry because we're able to give you an answer to the question: why is my child not learning to his or her full potential?

  1. Perceptual Skills Assessment First, we will conduct an assessment of your child's visual and auditory systems and sensory-motor integration to determine if your child has the primary abilities necessary to learn to his or her full potential. This is not a matter of whether they have good vision or hearing, it's a much more comprehensive analysis of their information processing skills. The appointment takes approximately one hour and we ask that the parent(s) be present during this time. At the end of the assessment, we'll walk you through the results and discuss your child's individual strengths and challenges. This report is yours to keep. For a limited time, click here to schedule your skills assessment at NO CHARGE (a $150 value).
  2. Cognitive Assessment If you find the SuccessLab program a good match for your child, our next step is to assess your child's cognitive skills to identify higher-level areas that need attention such as comprehension, memory, problem solving and strategic thinking. This is a patented, written assessment that scientifically measures the 27 abilities essential for learning. The cognitive assessment results in a 20-page report that reveals where the child's skill levels are relative to where they should be and most importantly, why. This report is also yours to keep.

  3. Academic Assessment Finally, we evaluate your child's specific reading, writing and math skills to see where they need focused help in important content areas. Click here to reach a SuccessLab Center near you to get more information about our Academic Assessment.

Based on these assessment results, we design a customized program that will strengthen underdeveloped areas and challenge those that are already strong, whether these are based in their perceptual, cognitive or academic abilities. This comprehensive approach is what allows students to raise their intellectual performance permanently.
