VLS Online Assessments

The VLS utilizes targeted, informal assessments which have been built by our team and offered online. These assessments help to identify essential skills gaps, digital skills gaps, and assess the risk of learning disabilities. 

​

ESSA: The Essential Skills for Success Assessment provides a means to gauge competency levels in several key Skills for Success.

LDORI: The Learning Disability Online Risk Indicator is a screening tool for risk factors associated with learning disabilities. It provides an overall risk indicator and specific risk indicators for a number of processing domains.

DLA: The Digital Literacy Assessment is an interactive assessment that measures competency in a variety of digital skills.

Learning Strategist Training

Learning strategists are the heart of our wrap-around support model. A learning strategist coordinates or delivers all VLS client services and supports, ensuring that clients get the personalized instruction, resources, and guidance that they require to facilitate success.

It is the provision of these individualized wrap-around services and supports that has allowed so many to reach their learning goals and get necessary workplace accommodations. 

We can provide training to your staff so that you, too, can provide comprehensive supports for your clients: 

​

• Learn how to implement our model, our tools, and our services. 

• Gain knowledge of learning disabilities, their diagnosis, and how to support them. 

• Receive interactive instruction and on-going mentorship from our learning strategists.
