STUDENTS
“It helps me memorize what I need to know on my tests. It helps me remember to put capitals at the beginning of sentences. It helps my hand writing. It helps me get my grades up. It makes me feel like I can do well in my regular class. It makes me feel good about myself.”

PARENTS
“Our 9 year old son, Jared, has been diagnosed with mild Asperger syndrome, a learning disability and Central Auditory Processing Disorder. He has been doing the NILD therapy for the last 8 months and his improvement has been amazing. Recently I took him back to the audiologist and he tested within the normal limits! The audiologist said he does not usually see results like this until maybe grade 7 or 8 and he is only in grade 4. He has had a great 1st year at his new school, is making friends which is huge for children with Aspergers and his self-esteem and confidence have improved greatly. I cannot thank his therapist and the NILD therapy program enough for all that it has done for Jared and other children with learning disabilities. This program gave him the confidence and the tools he needed to get done, what so many other people take for granted.”

PROFESSIONALS
“Since its founding over twenty-five years ago, NILD’s methods and philosophy have mirrored solid findings about brain development and the complex process we call learning. While others have jumped aboard the various trendy bandwagons that afflict education from time to time, NILD has held to and expanded on their effective, and research-based approach. The many therapists they have trained and the many, many children with whom these therapists have worked are witness to their ongoing success.”
Dr. Jane Healy, Ph.D, Author, Endangered Minds
“While I was the Head of Schools at Niagara Christian Collegiate, we were pleased to be able to offer the Discovery program to those students who would benefit from it. Thanks to the excellent work of NILD Educational Therapist and NCC faculty member Martha Giles, we were able to realize some significant results with students. NILD Canada provided training and support for the program we established and we were very appreciative of this!”
Dr. Steve Sider, Ph.D, Redeemer University College
“I do not think that I know an organization more committed to releasing the potential of all children with learning disabilities than NILD. In the short time that I have gotten to know the members of NILD, I have been very impressed by their knowledge and their desire for keeping abreast of evolving research, particularly in reading intervention. Perhaps more poignantly, however, I have been uplifted by the depth of their dedication to the children. They are a wonderful group.”
