We mourn the passing of Andrea Hutton, an NILD educational therapist since 1993. She loved working with students and was passionate about sharing NILD with educators, parents, and students. Andrea was always encouraging educators to take NILD Educational Therapist training and her Memorial Fund will be used to provide scholarships to this end.
