In order to learn, students must be able to receive, process, assimilate, store, and use the information that is presented to them. It is often assumed that students can do all of these things. But what happens when students do not meet these assumptions? What can we do?
The best way to identify learning needs is to assess them. The SOI learning ability test measures twenty-six abilities that predict success in school. They are the basic skills that form the backbone of education.
Six primary areas are evaluated:
- learning style
- school learning abilities
- critical-analytical reasoning abilities
- reading abilities
- arithmetic/math abilities
- vision
The SOI assessment and corresponding analysis makes it easy to see each student’s learning ability strengths and weaknesses, how they relate to school and curriculum, and what can be done to improve any low areas.
