This project demonstrates the educational value to enable Florida Schools to provide their students a learning enhancement systems which combines rigorous assessment with assesment-derived, individually perscribed cognitive and perceputal system devolopment programs

Students who are able to complete the prescribed learning devolpment programs will, by the second year, gain higher levels of academic achievment, as measured by standardizes tests, and improved intellectual functioning, as measured by intelligence test. The Schools will experience reduced levels of behavioral referrals on the part of recipient students as well as reduced demand for other (often more expensive) interventions.
