The National Institute for Learning Development (NILD) is an alternative plan for parents of children who struggle to learn. 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.
