  • Auditory Processing (Ga) Phonological Processing

    Phonological processing refers to the ability to perceive, process, and manipulate the sound structure of spoken language.

  • Cognitive Processing Speed (Gs)

    Cognitive processing speed refers to the pace at which an individual can perceive and process information, formulate thoughts, and respond. It involves the ability to perform cognitive tasks quickly and efficiently.

  • Comprehension-Knowledge (Gc)

    Comprehension knowledge refers to the ability to understand and make sense of information presented in various forms, such as written text, verbal instructions, or visual representations. It involves the cognitive processes necessary for comprehending and extracting meaning from different sources of information.

  • Executive Functioning

    Executive functioning can be compared to the conductor of a band. Just as a conductor coordinates the various instruments and musicians to create a harmonious performance, executive functioning is the cognitive process that orchestrates and regulates our thoughts, behaviours, and emotions.

  • Fluid Reasoning (Gf)

    Fluid reasoning is the ability to think logically and solve novel problems, independent of learned knowledge. It involves flexible, abstract thinking and problem-solving skills essential for academic and occupational success.

  • Long-Term Retrieval (Glr)

    Long-term retrieval refers to the process of accessing and retrieving information that has been stored in long-term memory. It involves recalling knowledge, experiences, or skills learned or encoded in the past.

  • Rapid Automatic Naming

    Rapid Automatic Naming (RAN) is the ability to quickly name a series of familiar visual stimuli, such as objects, colours, letters, or numbers. Students with RAN deficits struggle to retrieve and verbalize these familiar items fluently, which can impact their academic performance.

  • Sound Field Amplification System

    Sound fields amplify the teacher’s voice and enhance the listening and learning environment for all students. They improve clarity of the teacher’s voice over background noise,and ensure equal distribution of the teacher’s voice throughout the classroom.

  • Supports for Students with Learning Disabilities

  • Visual Processing (Gv)

    Visual processing refers to the ability to perceive, analyze, and interpret visual information from the environment around us. It involves a series of cognitive skills that allow us to make sense of what we see.

  • Short-term Working Memory (Gwm)

    Working memory is the ability to hold information in our minds and manipulate it. Students with working memory deficits may struggle with tasks that require them to keep information in mind while also processing or acting on it.
