We focus on enhancing and developing those processing skills that will bring about the biggest impact on learning:

Auditory Processing: to process sounds. The major underlying skill needed to learn to read and spell.

Auditory Discrimination: to hear differences in sounds such as loudness, pitch, duration, and phonemes.

Auditory Segmenting: to break apart words into their separate sounds.

Auditory Blending: to blend individual sounds to form words.

Auditory Analysis: to determine the number, sequence, and which sounds are within a word.

Auditory-Visual Association: to be able to link a sound with an image.

Comprehension: to understand words and concepts.

Divided Attention: to attend to and handle two or more tasks at one time. Such as: taking notes while listening,
carrying totals while adding the next column. Required for handling tasks quickly as well as handling complex tasks.

Logic and Reasoning: to reason, plan, and think.

Long Term Memory: to retrieve past information

Math Computations: to do math calculations such as adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing.

Processing Speed: the speed which the brain processes information.

Saccadic Fixation: to move the eyes accurately and quickly from one point to another.

Selective Attention: to stay on task even when distraction is present.

Sensory-Motor Integration: to have the sensory skills work well with the motor skills - such as eye-hand coordination

Sequential Processing: to process chunks of information that are received one after another

Simultaneous Processing: to process chunks of information that are received all at once

Sustained Attention: to be able to stay on task.

Visual Discrimination: to see differences in size, color, shape, distance, and orientation of objects.

Visual Processing: to process and make use of visual images.

Visual Manipulation: to flip, rotate, move, change color, etc. objects and images in one’s mind

Visualization: to create mental images or pictures.

Visual Span: to see more/wider in a single look.
