S.O.I. Structure of Intellect
"SOI" stands for Structure of Intellect - a theory of the functions and products of human intelligence. It is a system of tests and training materials to develop intellectual abilities.
The SOI test evaluates learning abilities - comprehension, creativity, problem solving, evaluation, and memory. It shows any strengths or weaknesses the client has in these areas.
The test also determines the client's primary learning style - figural, symbolic, semantic.
All of this information provides a solid profile that helps the client understand his/her learning capabilities.
SOI has developed materials that can train low abilities as well as enhance high abilities. A personalized workbook and computer CD are made based on each client’s SOI profile.
SOI also aims to empower clients. Students gain confidence in their learning abilities and progress through their curriculum more easily. The program provides necessary tools so that all of our clients can reach their full learning potential.

P.A.C.E - Processing And Cognitive EnhancementPACE is based on the best scientific research available and is continually modified to incorporate new scientific data. PACE targets and trains those skills that are most likely to have a meaningful impact on learning performance and academic abilities. PACE is provided individually to achieve significant results quickly. PACE consists of sequenced procedures to challenge – not bore or frustrate – the student. PACE is provided on a one-on-one basis to allow immediate feedback (error correction and positive reinforcement). PACE improves the student’s self-esteem by allowing him or her to actually see the difference in his or her own performance. PACE drives new skills to the subconscious so that they become habitual and automatic. PACE procedures appear to be non-academic so that they are different from the schoolwork with which the student may have had negative experiences. PACE develops meaningful skills that are used in the student’s daily activities so that there is a high level of retention. PACE produces valuable results (there is a high return) when considering committed effort, time, and finances. Visit: http://www.pacelearningskills.com/

M.T.C. - Master The CodeMTC recognizes that some students do not bring sufficient cognitive skills to the task of learning the reading code quickly and efficiently. Even if the code is taught completely and sequentially, a student who has a severe auditory processing deficiency, is not concentrating adequately, works too slowly, has poor memory skills, or cannot create good mental images, will complete lessons very slowly or exhibit poor retention. When these skills are in place, however, students learn rapidly. Master the Code has been designed to remedy these significant problem areas. Embedded within MTC are procedures that evaluate, pinpoint, and develop to advanced levels the underlying mental skills required to assure fast and efficient learning-to-read skills. (MTC has been developed by the world"s leading cognitive training company " PACE). Some of these skills include:
- Memory (the ability to remember the sound-symbol relationship)
- Segmenting (the ability to separate or unglue sounds)
- Blending (the ability to put together sounds to form words)
- Auditory analysis (the ability to manipulate or analyze small changes in groups of sounds)
- Processing Speed and Working Memory (the ability to retain incoming information and properly process it quickly)
- Attention (the ability to stay on the given task)
- Visualization (the ability to create and use mental images)
