NILD
Is your child struggling? KCA offers the opportunity for struggling students to become more adept at learning through private NILD Educational Therapists. The National Institute of Learning Development (NILD) has developed tools for learning that offer hope. Founded in 1982, NILD's goal has been to equip individuals with learning disabilities to succeed academically and in life as independent learners.
NILD Educational Therapy differs from tutoring in that cognitive and perceptual weaknesses are strengthened to support independent learning. This approach is individualized and intensive mediated learning. Compensatory techniques are avoided.
Features of Educational Therapy:
one-on-one--individual and intense, complimenting strengths and strengthening weaknesses, affecting cognitive change through mediation
non-tutorial--work on learning skills, not specific content
non-compensatory, integrative--stimulating both perceptual and academic skills
80 minutes twice weekly with therapist
26 techniques tailored to the learner
strategic approach to learning
parental involvement--providing continued stimulation at home
several year commitment
Benefits of Educational Therapy: individualized attention
independent learning
overcoming cognitive deficits
long-term change
improved social relationships
improved self image
development of responsibility
