Educational Therapy
NILD Educational Therapy® is a direct, language-based intervention for students with learning difficulties similar to occupational and speech therapies. Our focus is to strengthen the underlying causes of learning difficulties rather than simply treating the symptoms.
Our therapy is individualized, aims the intervention just above the student’s level of functioning, and raises expectations for performance. Students are trained to view themselves as competent, confident learners.

Students who need to master basic grammar and writing skills will benefit most from this program. Though handwriting and spelling skills are utilized and applied, these skills are not explicitly taught in this intervention.
