The Learning Skills Pyramid:
An Integrated Approach

Learning Skills Pyramid: Academics, Life Management, Communication Processing skills, Sensory/Perceptual, Motor, Near Reflxes

Successful students have a set of tools they bring with them to the classroom, such as attention, memory, visual and auditory processing, phonemic awareness, motor coordination, processing speed, and reasoning. Struggling students are missing some of these tools, or have not fully developed them enough to be successful in the classroom.

Throughout development skills are built upon one another and are interdependent. Using a pyramid model makes it possible to identify the underlying skill areas that are contributing to the learning challenge. Once you have identified the causative factors, an effective integrated plan can be created to address the learning challenges.

Explore our Interactive Learning Skills Pyramid to discover the secret to your child’s success! Click on a learning challenge below and see what highlighted underlying skills might be causing obstacles to your child’s success.
