Your child's learning development center

We strengthen and develop learning abilities

Is your child struggling in school?  Is learning more difficult after high school?

We focus on the quality of the student: Are they able to think? Are they prepared to learn? Can their ability to learn be improved?


A capable and well prepared student is critical in the learning process whether you are a public school student, private school student or homeschooled. Comprehension, memory, judgment, problem-solving, creative thought process, visual stamina/accuracy, auditory processing abilities, and sensory motor control/focus. These are areas utilized by students from pre-k to graduation.

About Extra-Ordinary


Karen York, Founder/Owner



  • Advanced Trainer for SOI (Structure of Intellect System)
  • Specialist for IPP (Integrated Practice Protocol)
  • Education Degree from Amarillo College AND West Texas   A&M University
  • Combination of eighteen years, taught in public school, in the private school community, and homeschool community. Trained with SOI/IPP for the past twelve years


I grew up in the Texas panhandle. Years ago, I recall my Junior year in High School. I had a teacher ask me out to the hall.  She was concerned about my learning abilities.  She asked how come I could not learn like my sister.  I remember it like it was yesterday.  Years later, I simply have never learned like the average student! I can look back at that day and realize I will never be silent about helping the underdog, the challenged learner, the one that just does not understand or are not capable of being a well prepared student that is critical for the learning process. When learning ability within the student is challenged, the education experience becomes difficult and the student is faced with low motivation, the student becomes quite (that was me), or behavior issues develop. 


I am passionate about helping students achieve those weaknesses and strengthen gifted ares that lead to transformation.  Learning abilities can and are being developed by those involved in the SOI/IPP programs.   It is a brain to body experience. I am driven to help the student gain confidence, mentor the parent and show the student their worth!

“My daughter was completely out of control with her body and could not sit still.  She was on ADHD med. When I found this program, Karen assessed my daughter and created a plan strictly for her. It has been a great experience and my daughter is off of the ADHD medicine and close to being finished with SOI/IPP

“My son was enrolled at a Texas University struggling with listening and note taking.  Karen assessed my son and found an issue with auditory processing. I was floored because he had an ear infection when he was fifteen that triggered him being behind in this area.  Wow! SOI/IPP was a game changer for our son.

“I have struggled in keeping a job.  I did not go to college. I heard about Karen through a friend. She assessed me and created a career analysis that lines up with how I learn.  I am now enrolled in college and finally have a goal!
