Bio:   Susie has enjoyed over 20 years in the field of education and has the privilege to serve as a classroom teacher in private and public schools and as a professionally certified educational therapist. She is currently the Director of the Discovery Center of Salem Baptist Christian School in Winston Salem, NC, and works with NILD as a level I instructor.

Bio:   I have 25 plus years in education, both in the classroom and as an administrator. I enjoy working with children, and so I obtained my Level 1 certification 2 years ago and Level 2 in the summer of 2024. I work both within my school with students and privately.

Bio:   I began my NILD journey while teaching at a small parochial school, frustrated by an inability to reach struggling students. It seemed as if nothing I did helped some students improve. An colleague suggested NILD educational therapy. From the first lesson in rhythmic writing, I knew that this was something different and would work for students. Eight years later, my passion for helping students overcome their learning challenges has only grown. The greatest reward is to help students unlock success and discover confidence in school and within themselves.

Bio:   After homeschooling my own child with learning disabilities, and recognizing the need for more resources to help students in need, I decided to become an educational therapist. I returned to school in 2018 and received my degree in Special Education. I continued on to complete Level 1 NILD Educational Therapist training and opened my business, Divergent Learning. I have since worked with students in grades 3-11 and seen the NILD program make an impact in their lives. I am also a certified Mediator in FIE and work with students ages 10 to 18 to increase cognitive modifiability. My goal is to empower students with not just educational skills, but with self confidence that they carry with them throughout their lives.
