What is the VARIA software?
Based on the student’s test information, the VARIA software can generate different bell curves, which maps out strengths and weaknesses and discrepancies between different cognitive, processing, and academic constructs. This visual representation of the learning disability can be shared with the school/tutoring team, so they can objectively see the child’s profile.
The cognitive profile can include:
| • Verbal Comprehension | • NonVerbal Reasoning |
| • Visual Spatial Skills | • Processing Speed |
| • Working Memory | • Quantitative Reasoning |
| • Receptive Language | • Expressive Language |
| • Oral Language | • Nonverbal IQ |
| • Verbal IQ | • General Ability Index |
| • Cognitive Proficiency Index | • Full Scale IQ |
The processing profile can include:
| • Phonemic Awareness |
| • Rapid Naming |
| • Visual Motor Skills |
| • Orthographic Awareness |
| • Working Memory |
| • Visual Processing Speed |
| • Auditory Processing |
The memory profile can include:
| • Short-term Visual Memory |
| • Long-term Visual Memory |
| • Short-term Verbal Memory |
| • Long-term Verbal Memory |
The executive functioning profile can include:
| • CPT Omission errors |
| • CPT Commission errors |
| • CPT Perseverations |
| • CPT Standard Error |
| • Inattentive |
| • Impulsivity |
| • Working Memory |
| • Task Monitoring |
| • Shifting |
| • Initiation |
| • Emotional Control |
| • Cognitive Regulation |
| • Emotional Regulation |
| • Behavioral Regulation |
The reading profile can include:
| • Reading Decoding, Untimed |
| • Reading Decoding, Timed |
| • Reading Comprehension |
| • Reading Fluency |
| • Oral Reading |
| • Overall Reading |
The writing profile can include:
| • Spelling, Recognition |
| • Spelling, Production |
| • Sentence Composition |
| • Contextual Conventions |
| • Story Construction |
| • Writing Fluency |
| • Overall Writing |
The math profile can include:
| • Calculation |
| • Math Reasoning |
| • Math Fluency |
| • Overall Math |
The output plots the scores on a bell curve that visually shows the student’s learning disability
