An award-winning program, it involves thorough assessment of each client's cognitive abilities, based on 5 key domains: Comprehension, Memory, Problem Solving, Creativity, and Critical Thinking.

The programme involves about 80 hours of work on activities, lasting 6 to 18 months.
Everyone! We all have skills that are exceptional, and skills that cause us to struggle. For some, this impacts daily life, causing learning or work life to fail. Unfortunately, despite the best will in the world, life seldom accommodates for this, and we are seeing more and more people out of school, out of work, and/or with mental health difficulties. An SOI assessment can help identify strengths and areas for improvement, leading back to a pathway for future success.
Jane works with many individuals with neurodivergent conditions, allowing them to reach the potential that others may not have believed possible.
SOI is a global program that originated in Oregon, USA. It was officially founded by Dr Mary Meeker and her husband, Dr Robert Meeker in 1965. These award-winning scientists developed the research-based SOI program to bridge cognitive gaps in education. The Meekers have proven the theory that intellectual abilities can be identified and improved.
According to them, successful learning requires different abilities, which have become the 5 key domains of SOI: Comprehension, Memory, Problem Solving, Creativity and Critical Thinking. SOI is globally recognised as a powerful tool enabling individuals to succeed in education, work and beyond. It is above all an exciting, beneficial, and positive way of approaching intelligence, learning and education.
