How Does Therapy Help?
There are two basic approaches to dealing with learning disabilities—compensation and direct intervention..
Compensation
The first and most common is compensation—helping students work around their deficit areas by using their strengths. In an academic setting, this usually takes the form of tutoring and classroom modifications, such as untimed tests and reduced workload. Compensation allows students to succeed with outside help, but leaves them limited in what they can do on their own.
Direct Intervention
The second approach is direct intervention—helping students strengthen their areas of deficit so they are no longer handicapped by them. Teaching students HOW to learn allows students the eventual freedom of succeeding on their own as independent learners.
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 and 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.

What Parents are Saying
I highly recommend Debbie Engle. She was an incredible therapist for my daughter Joy. Debbie help Joy significantly during the year she received therapy with her. My daughter has a tough personality, and Debbie found a way to relate and challenge her in ways I didn’t think possible. We are so thankful for the year Joy was blessed to have her has a therapist. Grace M.
I highly recommend Debbie Engle as she works with children who are struggling. I brought my son to her at age 7, struggling, unable to read near grade level and unable to retain basic math facts, and he just completed 4th grade having made straight A’s for the year. I could not be more grateful for her patience and her loving care for each individual child. I appreciate her expertise and her creativity in teaching. And I know that my son would not be where he is without her. Ragan D.
