Sessions

A session is 60-80 minutes. Sessions are held 2 times a week. Generally, a commitment of at least 2 years is needed.  Less time usually does not yield significant or lasting improvement. A student is dismissed from NILD therapy when they are able to be independent learners in the classroom.

Cognitive Development Therapy sessions can also be provided, as I am a trained mediator in The Equipping Minds cognitive development exercises. These exercises set aside academic content to target cognitive functions. Learners participate in interactive games and paper-and-marker activities which are organized in a progressive and challenging manner.

Guidelines Approach

The focus is to address the underlying causes of learning difficulties. His or her strengths and interests are incorporated in the techniques used to address particular learning difficulties.
I lmeet with each new client for an informal assessment and achievement testing if it has not been completed. This time gives me a chance to assess a client’s needs. Arrangements should be made to send me evaluation reports, educational plans, or other pertinent testing materials before this preliminary session.

Cancellations

If you must cancel a session, I ask that you notify me at least 24 hours in advance. Naturally, there are unforeseen circumstances which can prevent giving notice before missing a session.
