NILD Educational Therapy stimulates areas of weakness through individualized and intensive intervention.
It addresses areas of weakness in processing, memory, attention, oral and written language, reading, spelling and math. It helps develop efficient, accurate thinking, teaching ‘how to learn’ rather than ‘what to learn’. As competence and confidence improve students are able to succeed in their classroom and in life as independent learners.
Students in our DISCOVERY program receive up to two 80-minute sessions of intensive educational therapy per week. This can be either in individual or small group settings. These sessions include a variety of techniques designed to address students’ specific areas of difficulty and to improve their overall ability to think, reason and process information. Techniques emphasize basic skill areas such as reading, writing, spelling and math, applying reasoning skills within each area.
Students are taught by educational therapists, who are trained specifically in NILD methodology and receive on-going graduate level training leading to NILD certification. Regular collaboration between the educational therapist, parents and classroom teachers is encouraged in order to assess progress and appropriately adjust educational programs for each student.
