The SOI assessment is a great way to enhance learning abilities and avoid learning problems. It is a unique assessment with a follow-up of personalized, brain-building materials and suggestions. It is a diagnostic test of how each person processes information. The grades 3-adult “CR” tests 27 different abilities, the grades K-3 “L” tests 11 different abilities, and there is a pre-K to grade 1 Learning Readiness test as well. SOI pinpoints our strengths and weaknesses in several different areas of comprehension, memory, problem-solving, evaluation (judgment, cause and effect) skills, and different types of creativity. Valuable vision processing and auditory memory screeners are included as well.
A variety of recommendations from SOI Systems (and also from my mini pre-screenings) come with the results. Depending upon the individual’s profile, the follow-up may include: An SOI-IPP sensory-motor and focusing skill assessment and follow-up program; a personalized workbook of brain-building modules; a vision processing enrichment workbook and CD-Rom; multi-learning style materials for building reading and vocabulary comprehension, math concepts, memory, following directions, evaluation, and other abilities; recommended activities, games, and methods; best career fits and strategies to make those fits stronger. SOI can be very useful in sorting out learning disability patterns and may lead to referrals to other specialists such as developmental optometrists, audiologists, or others. In effectively pinpointing needs and ways to immediately begin overcoming or reducing them, many students begin to avoid the frustrations and stigma usually associated with learning problems.
SOI is making a difference in many schools in the United States, Canada, and worldwide—including the full SOI/IPP program (both the cognitive training and SOI’s patented sensory-motor integration therapy) in 25 states under the name of Bridges Learning Systems. Documentation is being built regarding:

• Significantly improved student body test scores
• Greatly increased reading fluency in children, teens, and adults
• Reduced on-campus crime
• Documented increases in over 20 IQ points (using WISC and other IQ tests)
• Advancement of students to higher grade levels or out of special education programs.

SOI is also making a difference in many social service programs, correctional institutions, and businesses. For everyone, SOI is a great way to know our own strengths, weaknesses, and how we best learn. It helps us discover the potential God has given to each one in His creation!
Individual and several group rate options.
