What is NILD Educational Therapy?

NILD Educational Therapy® was developed to treat assumed, underlying causes of learning disabilities rather than simply treating the symptoms. It is a true therapy in that it 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. The goal of NILD Educational Therapy® is to help students develop tools of independent learning in the classroom and in life.

Students in NILD Educational Therapy® receive two 80–minute intensive sessions of educational therapy per week.  This can be either in individual or small group settings. These sessions include a variety techniques designed to address students’ specific areas of difficulty and to improve their overall ability to think, reason and process information. Techniques emphasise basic skill areas such as reading, writing, spelling and mathematics, applying reasoning skills within each area.
